- Outdoor plants often have to put up with lots of pets or wild animals bothering them.
Some plants will make your pets very ill if they eat them - remember to check their product page for toxicity details on the Patch website to check this. And alternatively, you might just want to protect your plants from curious cats, squirrels, birds or foxes who dig up, pick at or crush your them. Thankfully there are any number of DIY methods out there to keep animals, both wild and domestic, away from your urban garden. Here are a few of our favourites.
A super easy, and very popular, method for keeping many different animals away is sprinkling spices around your plants. Cayenne pepper is a great all-rounder, helping to deter cats, squirrels, dogs and certain bugs. You can sprinkle it around your plants, or mix it with water to spray them with.

Talk to your plants and teach them how to establish boundaries!! Boundaries are good even for plants!!
Lol they already HAVE them! They’re called “Lectins and Oxylates” yet we still EAT them lol!😛
My pup chewed my newest rose purchase and it broke my heart! Hoping to save it per your instruction. Thank you.
I know the feeling my puppy keeps pulling my petunias and succulents 😭💔
None of these would work for me. My cat use to steal chillies and try to eat them. I’ve tried lots of things and in the end I’ve just had to buy greenhouses and cabinets. My dog was uprooting and burying all my outdoor plants and my bird and cats like to eat the indoor plants. For my hanging baskets I’ve had to put plastic bottles over them and laminated sheets so my bird doesn’t shred the foliage up again. It’s a bit unsightly but that’s my solution for now. 😅
Sounds like my dogs. Just her to try my luck lol
Just read cutting up coffee filter soaked in white vinegar and laying around plants will deter stray dogs Or pets !
squirrels keep stealing my hot peppers, the hotter the more faster they take them
They eat hot chillis?So thats whats happening to my peppers😢
I didnt know plants had the capability to be annoyed/bothered by things.
my huge puppies love wrestling on our snake plants, makes my father VERY angry
Does pepper work
Cds from the 90s? 90s were cassette tapes, all the way through early 2000s.
