Motion sensor alarm with flashing red light and 134 db siren, cats, and insect netting. The motion sensor alarm scares most animals away, the netting protects my garden from the cats and a few brave deer, and the cats keep the voles and rats under control.
Love that you are using tulle now, we having been using that for Years and trying to spread the word here❤ We have found some great deals😊
Dog approved!
I really think a motion detector "something" is worth a try for my on-going battle with squirrels. And maybe a "feeder" of sorts. I've tried water (fountains and bird baths) – and that didn't help at all. They were dead set on taking out my cucumbers (both fruit and vines) – and they did. Couldn't grow any cuke after the end of July.
