2. Squirrel Repellent // I Must Garden
This product line make sense—by making sense-sensations that drive squirrels away from areas you value. Squirrel Repellent is made with all-natural ingredients, including a proprietary blend of botanical oils that has been specially formulated to repel squirrels by both taste and smell. Plus, all the ingredients are considered safe enough by the Environmental Protection Agency that Squirrel Repellent doesn’t require registration as many toxic formulas do. www.imustgarden.com


3. Deer Repellent // Deer Out
Here’s another dual-deterrent repellent that works both by smell and taste. Deer Out’s strong peppermint scent creates a cool-menthol burning sensation that deer are repulsed by. In the meantime, it creates a flavor on the plants that is likewise revolting to the four-legged garden visitors. They may take a bite, but they’re not going to stick around to wipe out flowerbeds anymore. Now, if someone could only invent AnnoyingPeople Out … www.deerout.com


4. WeedStopper Landscape Fabric // Fabriscape
So far, we’ve rid the world of pesky fungus, squirrels and deer. How about now taking aim at the aggravating weed? WeedStopper stops weed growth while allowing air and water to pass through to plant roots. It bars approximately 95 percent of weed growth and is a permanent solution when covered from sunlight. From the “to boot” category, it also cuts quickly, with no fraying, and is easy to install. www.fabriscape.com
