How can I handle wildlife intruding in my backyard?

It's important to first identify the type of wildlife you're dealing with. Can you describe what animals you've seen?

I've noticed raccoons and squirrels coming into my garden.

Raccoons can be quite persistent! You might want to secure your trash cans and remove any food sources. For squirrels, consider using squirrel-proof bird feeders.

What about keeping them away without harming them?

You can use natural repellents like cayenne pepper or vinegar around your garden. Motion-activated sprinklers can also deter them without causing harm.

Are there any legal considerations I should be aware of?

Yes, it's important to check local wildlife protection laws. Some animals may be protected, and it's illegal to harm them.
