Try some fire works if you can get them.

I LOVE fireworks!!! Good excuse for neighbors to not get upset too! She doesn't like them and yells at them to "shoo!! shoo!!: Her first year here, she honestly called the cops on me because my "brown goats" had gotten out and were "at large". I was like wtf?? I have black goats and showed the cops, they were safely in their pen. I don't own any brown goats. It was deer. I can't control those. She's from Jamaca.

Thanks, I didnt really realize it until after I downloaded pics... I was like WTF!?!? I would have broken out the bow and arrows... neighbors wont hear gun shot with those.

You can buy all you want in PA... M80, mortars, you name it.

I can buy mortars down the street any day of the week, but that just seems extreme when scaring off a few rabbits.

I have a cabinet I keep stocked with pretty much everything, my neighbors are awesome, I think they have the same cabinet. The 4th is coming, can't wait! I have to take inventory. I could never figure out why the squirrels, rabbits and birds decide to really come out on this date.

that's why I do it, I don't plant the stuff not to be able to eat it myself.

Is there anything they don't eat? Maybe I can plant more of that or something? Deer fence was no deter... me running at them wasn't and my dog barking. My dog is a small squatty dog... she was running so hard for a deer and digging into the ground so hard with her back legs trying to get it fast enough I swear her belly was dragging. She almost looked like a frog swimming in water, except it was a lot barking and grass involved. The deer still sat there scratching and eating until she was two feet away.

Marigolds, most critters hate them, they have a smell that runs them away. I took 3 years of Horticulture in High School and I do remember this.
