Tip of the week: Keep out unwanted critters

Favorite tip: Outsmart invaders; Least favorite: Seal the holes

Protect your plants. “Cute rodents” such as squirrels will “dig up flower bulbs when foraging for food.” Construct a barrier with chicken wire to keep them out of your garden.

Take in the trash. Raccoons are “notorious garbage raiders” and endlessly hungry, so “keep cans inside until collection day.”
