You have invested a lot of effort, time, and money to guarantee that your garden will be fresh and aesthetically pleasing. Having your garden destroyed by the pesky critters will be a frustrating experience. While it may be adorable to see them hoping around on their natural environment, the destruction that they can cause will be unthinkable. They can reduce your marigolds and vegetables into nothingness. They can also strip the bark of your tree that can encourage fungal growth.



Tips to Keep the Kansas City Animals Away from Your Garden
Before you start with your exclusion and removal method, you will need to determine the culprit first. By identifying the animal, you will understand their behavior and habit. The information that you will gather will be necessary to develop a comprehensive control plan.

Creating a Garden that is Less-Suitable for these Animals
The urban wild animals will establish their den in a place that provides them a lot of coverings. If the grasses are tall enough, it may be time to trim them down. You should also discard the brush and wood piles. If you do not wish to discard them, store them above the ground. Look for the possible place where they can establish their den such as the space under your porch and shed and place a barrier to make the space inaccessible to them. Remove their access to the possible food sources such as your compost piles. If you have birdfeeders in your garden, try to clear the scattered birdseeds and place a baffle on your birdfeeder. This will discourage the Kansas City raccoons and squirrels from stealing food that are designated for the birds. Try to reduce the insects in your garden such as grubs that the skunk may find irresistible.

Choose the Best Control Methods
Depending on your type of infestation, you will find the methods below handy in resolving your wildlife problem.

• Extermination-the lethal method should only be used if you have tried to use the non-lethal methods but to no avail. Be sure to choose a technique that will deliver the least amount of pain to the creature. Understand that some of them are protected creatures and you will have to be familiar on the laws related with the extermination of these animals.

• Repellents and Deterrents-this will work for those who do not experience a frequent wild Kansas animal visit. Repellents are intended to introduce a powerful scent that the animal might find uncomfortable. There are also scare devices that will drive away the creature, but it will only be effective for a couple of days.

• Adopt a Dog- Having a dog will give you an assurance that your garden will remain free from rodents and other nuisance creatures.

• Trapping- if the animal has already established its den in your garden, trapping them can be an effective solution.

Lastly, exclusion would offer you a long-term solution. It will help you keep your garden in its pristine condition. There are various types of fences that you can install. You may use the seasonal type, the temporary, or the permanent fence.
