Best way to control animals?

So there is a random animal that has dug up 3 of my plants. I'm guessing its either a groundhog or a raccoon. I have also had deer and slugs nibbling on the leaves and topped a couple more. On the bright side at least nature topped for me :-). What is the best way that people have found to repel and prevent animals from damaging plants? This is what I have done so far. I have put down a barrier of slug killer on the ground in a circle 3 feet from the plants. I have also put down some repels all animal repellent. I hope this helps some. Any more ideas?
 
only cages will keep away the beasts. tough thick wire and small holed chicken wire have been a good combo for me
 
Man I had a problem like that but I found my plant under a few inches of soil and replanted it and it grew an inch the next day, but do what I do with coons load up a shot gun with slugs and shoot those little fuckers right between those bandit eyes.... I kill almost every coon I see when I have any one of my guns with me those shits carry rabbies out here and I got horses but anywase I put sticks inthe ground all around my site and I haven't had a prob scence I did that if u look for my thread an go to the 3rd page ull see it I got the idea from that be bear grills show lol
 
I don't waste my time on the stuff. A few hand sized rocks around the base of a platn and no problems. It was squirrels that dug your plants up, they only do it to see what you buried.
 
put up 4 signs around the perimeter of your plants that say "No animals beyond this point"

They will respect the signs
 
I think I'm going to try 8 signs in bright yellow and place them in straight lines so the fucking animals cant miss them. Whats a good font to use?
 
ive had the same problems with cats useing my plants for a restroom. the always turn over my plants. ive put down some bottles of water with bleach sprinkled on em...there suppose to not like the smell ive heard
 
Yea i just woke up to a missing outside nursery. All my baby plants were eaten down to the ROOT, nothing to salvage. Here is to waiting with a loaded 12 gauge for those little bastards.

Yeah of ur like me and only have one neighbor who thinks ur insain an stays the fuck away from you an u see animals near em through some quarter sticks at em scares the fuck outta almost anything lol and a nice hollow point deer slug in the head of those fuckers and if I could I'd let u use my desert eagle
 
get some hot pepper stuff for pizza and put it around them. dont us fish or salt in out door grows. inless ur gona put fish 2 feet below the surface.
 
Learn how to make a spring snare trap... I made one and finally caught that bastard fox that's been digin up my plants. now's he is goin to be hangin on my wall..
 
+1 didn't think of that will so be doing that tomorrow even tho Im putting up a chicken wire fence around the peremeter of my site but I do have a fox living near my spot and I can't find his hole thorough all the brush to shoot him so I like the dead fall idea
 
I had what I think a squarl dig in my buckets digging up one but not harming the roots so I replanted it and I found my master Kush plant under 2 inches of soil so I went out and got some critter Ritter smells like concentrated black pepper and I'll see how that works and let you know it's like 17 bucks at home depot

I'd look directly under his tail. :mrgreen: cn
 
Half a can of beer right next to your plants for the slugs. If you have a dog let him piss near your plants. If not go out yourself a couple times a week and piss around them. Home Depot sells some good animal repellant just reapply after heavy rains.
