September 22, 2022

Presenter: Phil Roudebush, Extension Master GardenerSM Volunteer

Black Bear enjoying the garden.

Unwanted wildlife can devastate a landscape and cause a headache for gardeners. But what is a gardener to do? This series of nine short videos cover the basic techniques used to discourage and cope with many types of nuisance wildlife.

Four videos cover mammals by size categories: largest, large, medium and small.  Bees, Birds and Snakes are featured in another video. Learn the differences between voles and moles, including their physical characteristics, habitats, and “dining” preferences.  Deer can quickly devastate a garden, one video pays special attention to these herbivores. Learn a variety of methods gardeners can use to minimize plant damage and make the landscape less hospitable to nuisance wildlife.

Products promising to rid your garden of voles, rabbits, deer, raccoons, and snakes fill garden store shelves. But which to use and are they effective? One 20-minute video, leaves the viewer with an assessment of the most effective repellents and a better understanding of their usefulness.

April 26, 2021

Gardening in the Mountains presents:
Using Repellents to Control Nuisance Animals in the Garden 

Presenter: Phil Roudebush, Extension Master GardenerSM Volunteer

Products promising to rid your garden of voles, rabbits, deer, raccoons, and snakes fill garden store shelves. But which to use and are they effective? In this 20-minute video, Phil outlines the various types of repellents on the market today.  He steps through “best way to use” rules, product content, application methods, and safety for edibles. Phil contrasts product research and development methods with the home garden environment and actively growing plants. He leaves the viewer with an assessment of the most effective repellents and a better understanding of their usefulness.
