Not In My Garden You Don't ... Deer (and other safe, frugal forms of pest control)

Step 4 Groundhogs, Woodchucks and Other Burrowing Animals

The safest non toxic way to get rid of groundhogs is by sprinkling a 50/50 mixture of Red and Black Ground Pepper in your flower or vegetable gardens, the smell drives them out of your yard but won't harm your plants, kids or pets.

(I couldn't get the peppers to show up in my pictures so I had to use one of them in bowls)
