pets if they are near the area.
squirrels are mischievous critters. keep your plants covered with wire if you have a squirrel problem. raccoons are another mischievous house guest. raccoons love trash, so make sure your trash is picked up around your home and your trash bins have tightly sealed lids. using cords and bin locks can also help in case this guest decides to tip the can over. this tip also applies to dog and cat food that might be outside.
birds attack trees with fruit in them. if you want to protect your fruit, use noisy items to scare off birds like clinking trash cans together, add noisy wind chimes
