Actually, my Grandfather has big problems with Bush Turkeys ripping apart his garden, and to keep them away (sometimes,but instead keeps away all the other birds) he uses a mix of black pepper and citronella oil, and he just puts it through all the gardens and where he needs itTalven wrote: ↑16 Aug 2019, 09:16 Or you could try a cheap IR door chime that shops use. Every time they land it goes off? Might be more of a pain than its worth though. Ultrasonic ones are a scam.
Apparently garlic oil is a bird repellent. They don't like the smell. Not sure how that would work though.
If I had the money to throw away maybe THIS
I do too! Every single plant that gets put in is dug up by them. Parts of our 'lawn' is also practically dead because of them. Possums are a big problem too - they eat practically any native or foreign plant except desert plants. Even 'possum-proof' lavender gets eaten by themnoah.till wrote: ↑16 Aug 2019, 09:30Actually, my Grandfather has big problems with Bush Turkeys ripping apart his gardenTalven wrote: ↑16 Aug 2019, 09:16 Or you could try a cheap IR door chime that shops use.

Aldi Brands are from Germany, they certainly don't have our big mongrel possums over thereBrisbane_Finches_333 wrote: ↑16 Aug 2019, 11:27 Those possums crap all over our deck. We've had about 3 or 4 runs with veggie gardens but in the end the possums always win, whether it be gnawing a whole in the netting or going under the flap in the Aldi brand 'pest proof greenhouse'.
