1. I know this is going to sound weird, but i had a problem with squirels digging up my corn seeds. I tied an aluminum pie pan to a string and dangled it from a stake, and it worked! I'm not sure why, maybe the reflection or noise it made when wind blew it?
2. We have done the same thing in our garden. Every five feet we have an aluminum pan tied to the wire fence and it has worked to ward off everything from deer to rabbits and is less expensive than running electricity through the wire. On the Fourth of July, we had a moose visit us and he seemed drawn to the shiny aluminum but it has worked to keep all the other critters away.
