GLAN is an unknown quantity at this point
I was sitting next to a gentleman at a trade show Tuesday......One of the continuing education talks was about wildlife.........very interesting.......I don't have a wildlife problem around me........other than recently Racoons.

Anyway......this guy was from Westchester County....a more rural area than mine.

When the speaker was discussing moles and voles and the use of a barrier border.......The guy mentioned to me that doing a several foot wide barrier of pea gravel along the back edge of his property worked very well on keeping deer and other wildlife out of his yard.

I guess it's the loose under footing that the animal does not like

I dunno......if that is the case and why he has been able to keep deer and others out of his yard.......it makes sense.
