Make Your Own Liquid Critter Fencing – The garden is in, sprouting new shoots every day & you’ve been watching it grow. Unfortunately, so have the rabbits, moles, gophers, and deer!

Homemade Liquid Fencing to keep Animals out

Homemade Liquid Critter Fencing

You’ll Need:
1 gallon jug
12-18 Eggs
3-5 Tbs Minced Garlic
1 Tbs. Cayenne Pepper
Water

  1. Start with a 1-gallon plastic jug.
  2. Puree 12-18 eggs in a blender- this makes them smooth, rather than clumpy, pour them into your jug.
  3. Add approximately 3-5 tablespoons of freshly minced garlic.
  4. Add one tablespoon of cayenne pepper powder.
  5. Tighten the top and shake the container vigorously to fully incorporate the ingredients. Add water to fill to 3/4 of the way full.

Let the container sit for 7-10 days, allowing the eggs to putrify. Label it as poison and keep it OUTSIDE, out of the Sun. Shake well prior to use.

To Use: Open outside, attach a spray nozzle to the top and spray around your garden. You will need to reapply once weekly as well as after any heavy rains. While it will stink upon application after several hours it will dry and not smell (to you anyway!) The critters- moles, deer, rabbits, gophers, will not come anywhere near it!

👩‍🍳 About the Author

Melissa "Liss" Burnell started Budget101.com in 2001 because she needed it to exist — not because she saw a market opportunity. She was feeding a family of four on under $200 a month, and people kept asking how, so she started writing everything down.

That turned into 25 years of recipes, debt-busting strategies, and DIY content — including figuring out how to make 128 loads of laundry detergent for less than $2. Millions of families have quietly used this site to stretch a dollar without feeling like they're sacrificing anything. She's also the author of two bestselling budget cooking ebooks, available on Amazon.
