Placing plastic forks in a garden with prongs facing upwards serves as an effective deterrent against pests like birds and squirrels. The forks can cause animals to fear a predator, stop digging, or cause discomfort when they step on the forks. Locating the forks 4-6 inches apart creates a barrier, with human scent potentially confusing animals further. Bright or reflective forks work best as they reflect sunlight, further disorienting pests and enhancing their deterrent effect.
Using plastic forks in your garden with prongs facing upwards effectively deters animals by making them think it is a predator or causing discomfort when they step on it.
It's important to space forks 4-6 inches apart around beds and ensure they're securely planted in the soil, allowing for effective pest deterrence.
The color of the fork impacts its effectiveness; bright or reflective colors are best as sunlight can dazzle animals, enhancing the deterrent effect.
Human scent on the forks may also contribute to their effectiveness, making animals reluctant to approach areas where the forks are placed.
