Here' s another idea, if they seem to ignore the tape. We tie Walmart, etc. plastic bags on strings around our garden. The white especially look spooky in the dark. Make sure you pierce the bottoms of the bags or they will fill up with rain. The slightest breeze will set them to flopping. We' ve got them around the garden plot that has peanuts, corn, melons and string beans. No raiding so far. They are about 3 1/2 feet from the ground. My five food plots may be taking the place of the garden, tho. They all show some heavy use.
