Connecticut is home to a wide array of wildlife, and no matter where you are, keeping animals out of your yard can be tough. The crew at American Bio-Tech, based in Sherman, CT, has helped residents across the state manage and remove wildlife threatening their gardens and landscaping since 1971. Their team of wildlife control experts has put together a few tips to help you keep unwanted critters out of your garden.

Prevent animals from using your yard as their own with these tips:

  • Spread Human Hair: Sprinkling your hair throughout your garden is a simple and eco-friendly wildlife control method. Clear out your hairbrush every few days and add the hair to the perimeter of your garden. The strands may not smell like anything to you, but your scent should be enough to deter most rodents, rabbits, woodchucks, and deer.
  • Hang Scented Soap: If you’ve ever used a strong-smelling bar soap, you know just how pungent the odor can be. As it turns out, most wildlife dislike the smell of human beauty and cleaning products. Cut up scented bar soap and hang sachets of it on stakes throughout your garden. This should be enough to deter even the most stubborn deer without introducing harmful chemicals to your garden.
  • Wildlife controlPlant the Right Plants: Strong-smelling herbs and flowers can help with your wildlife control efforts. Plant herbs like dill, thyme, yarrow, and mint around the border of your garden to keep most critters out of the beds. They’ll be less likely to wander in, and best of all, you’ll have access to fresh herbs whenever you need them.
  • Call a Professional: If you’re having a huge problem keeping critters out of your garden, contact a wildlife control professional. The team at American Bio-Tech will help you humanely trap and relocate those unwanted critters so you can enjoy your garden in peace.

Follow these tips and keep your garden safe from unwanted pests and wildlife without dangerous poisons or chemicals. For more information on their humane wildlife control and relocation options, visit their website or call (860) 355-1231 to schedule an appointment.
