How do I keep birds from pooping on my porch rails?

• <div><p>When it comes to keeping birds from doing their business on your porch rails, you have several DIY options and home remedies you can try: </p><ul><li><p>Tie a fishing line from one end of the deck post to the other. Birds won’t be able to see the line across the railing, so they can’t land on it. </p></li><li><p>Hang wind chimes close by, which may scare birds away. </p></li><li><p>Apply a bird gel repellent to the railings, which contains smells that birds generally don’t like. Or, similarly, you can apply citronella or lemon oil around the railings, since birds don’t like strong smells.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

How do I keep pests away from my garden?

• <div><p>There are a few ways to keep pesky bugs away from your garden. One option you have is to plant flowers so beneficial insects like ladybugs can control pests for you. A similar method is companion planting, which means you’ll grow vegetables that’ll discourage pests, like garlic, onions, and basil. The best pest prevention method will depend on the bugs you have issues with and the plants in your garden. </p></div>
