Plants That Resist Deer, Squirrels and Rabbits
Plants contain natural defense mechanisms that keep animals from eating them, however animals may feed on them when there is nothing better for them to eat in the area. Use this list for areas these animals frequent. Try ANIMAL REPELLENTS or the SCARECROW SPRINKLER that triggers when an animal motion comes near and sends a loud spray of water to scare them away.
