I want to use it to prevent the wild turkeys from digging up my mulch and flinging it out of the garden and onto the pathways. Will it work for this?

Probably not. This is very flimsy and they'd probably just rip it down. Sorry!

Good question. I don't know much about turkeys. A dog could chew through it in no time at all. If the turkeys don't bite it, I'm guessing it would work. Anyway, it's cheap enough to try it out in a small area.

I am not familiar with the habits of wild turkeys, so I would have to defer to the answers below. Another suggestion might be to use the scarecrow - motion activated pest deterrent. It squirts water and makes noise at pests. I don't know how smart turkey's are but cats & dogs will learn to not mess with that area after getting wet & started a few times. It is made by contech and you can find it on amazon.

i was using it to keep chipmunks and raccoons from nibbling on my garden. i don't know what it would do to hawks.

Yes it works very well for what you are looking to do. we have two large 45 pound dogs and have them restricted from a area of the lawn and chicken coop/ run.

Never really tried turning mulch. I would think it would spear the pieces of mulch. I'd rake the old mulch and then use the Weasel.

I use it to kill brush around the perimeter of the cemetery I manage. It thwarts vegetation growth for at least 2 mos.

It does help keep them away from my plants, so maybe it will work on the wood. Do you salt your steps in winter? I placed a salt block for the deer on a wooden bridge in my yard two years ago and they continue to eat the wood right where the salt used to be. Just a thought...

I can't say for sure. It keeps raccoons n deer out OK. Not sure if it will scare them enough to keep them away. When the ground is wet, it hurts to touch it,even worse in bare feet.

Yes, I'd guess that it would work for that purpose. The weakest point is probably where the hook attaches to the pole... so make sure you get a strong pole. Once the hook is securely threaded on your pole you'll be ready to do battle with those vines!

I can't be sure about that, I can say that most wild birds are NOT deterred by my Yardgard. It should work on cats though.

NO, it will not. I use it all over my gardens to repel Bunnies and it works 100%. I have a dog and it does not "repel" her from the garden.

I doube it will work. I used it to scare rabbits and squirrels from the yard. It works for a couple of days, then they came back. As long as they have a nest nearby, they will get used to the smell in a few days.

I don't know how large your garden patch is however, if you were to build a frame to support it as well as dig trench a few inches down to bury it (against burrowers) it should work. If you have lots of deer you may also want to build sectional removable top panels as well for the jumpers and squirrels that will climb over. Hope this helps you.

I have to disagree with "Jay" and say, in my experience, yes! I bought this specifically to keep deer out and it works. I live in a town that has no culling, so deer are everywhere. I just wrapped this around my plants and I didn't lose anything this year! What might have worked in my favor is that I didn't try to make a fence or anything. I container garden, so I just wrapped the netting around my plants so they were completely covered. The plants I didn't wrap, a few flowers, did get eaten toward the end of the summer.

it should. It keeps the birds and my puppy out of the garden. However when it rains it doesn't work as well. You need to keep the power source out of the direct weather.

I am currently trying it for rabbits ... doesn't seem to be keeping them out of my garden.Also, be aware it is very stinky and red in color so it will stain.

I don't think it will work with birds. I bought three units to deter racoons which were destroying my garden beds which had fabric/ mulch. They didn't do the job and I wound up using a haveaheart trap. That worked!! 13 racoons last year.

I haven't used it for that purpose. I have just been spraying weeds on the ground. Sorry I can't answer that for you
