Nothing is more frustrating than watching your hard work wasted as garden critters such as deer, rabbit, squirrels and groundhogs invade your property. Below are some simple things you can do when planning a pest resistent garden.

–epsom salts– garlic– red pepper sauce– curry powder-  scattered hair–

Mosquito control system for your entire property – anywhere you have sprinklers. Our simple-to-install product lets you take back control of your outdoor space in no time.
