2. Use castor oil

You probably know that castor oil is a miraculous ingredient that makes your hair healthy, stronger, and shinier and helps it grow longer and faster, but this magical oil is just as great for keeping wild animals away.

The way it works is quite simple because ground squirrels, moles, skunks, voles, and gophers absolutely hate the taste of castor oil. Go to the pharmacy and grab some castor oil. Combine 3 TBSPs of it with 1 TBSP of dish soap and 1 gallon of water, and you’ll have the perfect natural spray to keep wild animals away from your garden.

Take notice of the areas where pests tend to have fun and spray the solution to discourage their behavior. They surely don’t expect you to do something like this, so you can say goodbye to pests!
