A substance applied around plants or on the foliage to deter animals, such as rabbits, chipmunks, deer, etc., from consuming them.

Author's NotesThese methods sometimes work perfectly, keeping the animals at bay, but other times, they are not as good. If you need to use them, follow the instructions and give them a try. If one product doesn't work, try another type. The ones I have mentioned have worked for me. I have found the granular sprinkled on the soil works best for me.
