We got a fence up but when we looked at the garden tonight something has been munching on my squash, zucchini and a little bit on my tomatoes. We are thinking that it's a groundhog (as a HUGE one lives next door in the foreclosed house) but not sure what else we can do to deter it from coming into my garden and eating up my veggies! I am soooo ticked. The above mentioned veggie plants were loaded with blossoms........
Thanks in advance!

Thank you everyone for your wonderful advice! I may do both the dial soap and the fox urine! lol

I have something that's eating all the flowers off my squash plants.  It's making me very angry!
We have a fence (chicken wire), I don't think small mammals can get it. I may be wrong though.

Kelli Jo~ I have had an ongoing battle of wills with the groundhog that lives here. He ate all of my peas and beans. What finally worked for me was ---fox urine. I bought it in a spray form at Lowes. It smells so disgusting but won't harm the plants and keeps everything away. I even sprayed some around the shed i think he is living under to try to convince him to find a new home 0 I think it is working!

Get a bunch of bars of original dial soap. Unwrap them and drop them all around the garden, or hang them from a drilled hole and a string on a stake. It will deter most animals. Just not cats and dogs, which I have a problem with.
