Installing protective railings is an effective way to prevent some animals (such as rabbits, squirrels, etc.) from entering your garden. Railings can be made of wood or metal, but they need to be strong enough to ensure that animals cannot pass through or over.

Installing a protective net is another way to protect the raised garden bed. You can use plastic or metal mesh to lay it on the soil surface to prevent animals from walking or digging on it. You can also add grids around the bed to ensure that animals cannot enter from under the soil.

Some animals like to eat flowers and vegetables. You can use natural pesticides, such as chili powder, garlic and vanilla, to protect your plants. Scatter these materials in your garden, which will make animals feel uncomfortable and prevent them from entering your garden.

Chemical pesticides are an option to prevent animal invasion. However, attention should be paid to the use of chemicals, because they may have negative effects on plants and the environment. Before using any chemical substance, please read the instructions on the label and follow the instructions.

Note: The use of chemical pesticides is an effective choice to prevent foreign animals from invading the raised garden bed, but it is necessary to pay attention to its use method and potential negative effects.

First of all, when selecting chemical pesticides, attention should be paid to selecting specific products for target animals and using them according to the instructions on the product label. Different products may have different uses and use methods, such as spreading, smearing or spraying. The correct method and dosage should be followed during use to minimize unnecessary effects.

Secondly, attention should be paid to safety and environmental issues when using chemical pesticides. When handling and using any chemical substances, appropriate protective equipment, such as gloves, masks and goggles, should be worn. Wash your hands and clothes thoroughly after treatment, and store the remaining chemicals properly. Chemical pesticides may have a negative impact on the environment and non-target plants, so we should understand the scope of impact of the product before use and avoid using excessive chemicals.

Finally, attention should be paid to the timing of using chemical pesticides. Some chemical pesticides need to be used before the plant growing season to ensure that the invasion is contained before the plant growing season. In addition, if you have herbivores in your garden, such as deer, you should try to use chemicals that do not harm them.

Some plants can produce odors or chemicals to prevent animals from entering. For example, rosemary and lavender can prevent rabbits and deer from entering the garden. You can plant these plants around the garden bed to help prevent animal invasion.
