Keeping those annoying pest away

We always have a lot of people asking "how do I keep rabbits out of my garden? or "My cat out of my flower bed?" or "the dog from laying in or digging around my plants?" So I would like to offer some ideas to you, the gardener, to keep your investment safe and so you don't get angry at your pet whom you normally love!
Critter Ridder® Animal Repellent, Granular Shaker, 5 lb.
Critter Ridder

 A product we carry that's easy to use is called Critter Ridder. It works on cats, dogs, racoons, skunks, squirrels, and chipmunks. Just shake the granular mixture onto the soil and keep the critters away. Check out their website for more details.

If you don't have time to get out and pick up this amazing product, try one of these homemade recipes.

To repel dogs:
1 garlic bulb ground in blender
1 med. onion, chopped
1 L water
1 tsp tabasco

Let sit for a few hours, strain and pour into handheld sprayer and apply to areas where your dog digs or lays. It will need reapplying after rain and on occasion when needed.
