I have tried adding mulch to the pots, and that did help, but did not solve the problem completely. I made a Vapor Rub mixture using a lot of peppermint oil and Eucalyptus oil, and smeared it along the fence by the plants, and that may have helped as well. But the critters are still out there and the garden pots are a strong temptation for them still.
I have been turning on the sprinkler whenever our day is for watering our yard. One thing that is fun to use, but you have to be out there all the time, is a BB gun. I'm learning how to shoot now, and have aimed the gun close to where the desired targets are!
The sprinkler scarecrow repellent should do the trick. In the future, I will get another one to do the other side of the yard, where the squirrels get into as well. I have 8 beds in there and 3 of them are totally destroyed by the squirrels. I can't plant anything in them because they will get turned upside down.
Say Bye-Bye to the squirrels, and the raccoons, and all the other little evil guys out there! Hopefully, this will work well.
Will update.
