How to Keep Animals Out of Your Yard

How to Keep Animals Out of Your Yard

Your yard is one of the first places nuisance animals explore when they're searching for food, water, or shelter. Deer browse shrubs, rabbits feed on grass and flowers, squirrels dig in landscaping, raccoons knock over garbage cans, and skunks search for insects in your lawn. If left unchecked, these unwanted visitors can damage your property and keep coming back.

Fortunately, you don't have to rely on traps or harmful chemicals. A natural animal repellent can help create a protective scent barrier that encourages animals to avoid your yard.

Why Are Animals Coming Into Your Yard?

Most nuisance animals are looking for three basic necessities:

• Food

• Water

• Shelter

Your yard may attract wildlife if it contains:

• Gardens and flower beds

• Fruit or nut trees

• Bird feeders

• Pet food left outdoors

• Garbage cans

• Dense shrubs or brush

• Standing water

• Areas beneath decks or sheds

Once animals discover these resources, they're likely to return unless the area becomes less inviting.

Which Animals Commonly Invade Yards?

Many nuisance animals can cause problems in residential yards, including:

• Deer

• Rabbits

• Squirrels

• Raccoons

• Skunks

• Mice

• Rats

• Chipmunks

• Birds

• Possums

• Cats

• Dogs

• Other nuisance animals

Natural Armor All-Natural Animal Repellent is formulated to help repel a wide variety of these nuisance animals with a single application.

How Does Natural Animal Repellent Help?

Natural Armor All-Natural Animal Repellent uses a peppermint oil formula to create a protective scent barrier around your property. Many nuisance animals rely on their sense of smell when searching for food and shelter, and the strong peppermint scent helps make treated areas less attractive.

Instead of trapping or harming animals, the formula encourages them to leave and look for food and shelter elsewhere.

Where Should You Apply It?

For the best protection, spray Natural Armor All-Natural Animal Repellent around areas where animals are likely to enter or spend time, including:

• Property boundaries

• Along fence lines

• Around gardens

• Flower beds

• Landscaping

• Trees and shrubs

• Garbage storage areas

• Patios and decks

• Around sheds and garages

• Beneath decks

• Home foundations

Creating a continuous barrier around your yard helps discourage animals before they reach the areas you want to protect.

Additional Ways to Keep Animals Out of Your Yard

A natural animal repellent works best when combined with good property maintenance.

To make your yard less attractive to wildlife:

• Keep garbage containers tightly sealed.

• Bring pet food indoors after feeding.

• Remove fallen fruit and spilled bird seed.

• Trim overgrown shrubs and vegetation.

• Eliminate standing water whenever possible.

• Repair openings beneath decks and sheds.

• Inspect your yard regularly for signs of animal activity.

These simple steps help reduce the food and shelter that attract nuisance animals.

Natural Armor All-Natural Animal Repellent can provide protection for up to 90 days under normal conditions. Heavy rain, irrigation, weather exposure, and frequent animal activity may reduce effectiveness.
