Cats Sharp gravel or plastic pointy mats. Plant artemisia (wormwood). Make "Cat Scat Spray" with two parts cayenne powder, three parts dry mustard powder, five parts flour and sufficient water.

Deer Scatter eggs mixed with water, fox urine, human hair. Or plant "deer-resistant" plants, as listed here http://www.npsot.org/plant_lists/deer_re...

Dogs Garlic/pepper spray

Frogs & Toads Leave them alone. Honestly, if you're the type of person who's squeamish and/or fearful of frogs and toads, you need a serious Organic Gardening Attitude Adjustment...one that I'd be glad to administer.

Rats, Mice Fox urine, hot pepper spray, cats.

Moles, gophers Injections of castor oil and hot pepper into the ground in the problem areas.

Possums, Armadillos, Skunks Fox/wolf urine spray or strategically placed canisters.

Snakes Do not disturb. Confirm its type, if possible, without getting too close. Move away slowly and smoothly. If it appears poisonous, call your local animal control.

Squirrels, Rabbits Chicken wire over bed, or blend together 15 ml Tabasco sauce and chili powder, 5 litres water and a dash of dish soap. Plant artemisia (wormwood).

And if it's Easter weekend, be sure to leave something extra special for the bunny. Otherwise, he'll be sure to make you pay.

I hope the Easter Bunny enjoyed this...

So wrong about "Frogs & Toads Leave them alone." In southeast florida we are plagued with the bufo marinus toad, which excretes a poison that is fatal to dogs and cats. I've been looking for a way of ...

for getting rid of critters.

I once got some cougar sent from the department of wildlife and put in my yard to scare away deer. It didn't work. All it did was create a bad odor for a couple of mo ...
