When it comes to replacing plants, it will save you a ton of money and time, even though it might not be very pleasant for them. Nobody desires a holey rhododendron or shredded dahlia.

4. Pest Deterrent: Upturned Fork

Pest Deterrent: Upturned Fork @the11best/PPinterest Just place them upside down on the ground with their spokes pointing upward. The animal is deterred by the spikes' strength, which is sufficient to give them a small fright but not enough to cause them any real harm. Additionally, packs of forks are only $1 each, which makes this hack quite affordable.
