Shrews can be a real headache for gardeners.

These rodents dig long tunnels, thereby causing harm to plants.

Agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh suggested how to drive away shrews from a plot.

Why are shrews dangerous?

Shrews feed on various insects, helping to “cleanse” the garden or vegetable garden from pests.

But at the same time, they can also harm plants.

The underground passages that these rodents dig can damage the root system of plants. They can also gnaw through root crops.

An effective method of struggle

Shrews are sensitive to strong odors and noise.

Therefore, cow dung, fish and other substances with unpleasant and strong odors can be placed in their holes.

You can also put a rag soaked in ammonia into their hole. Then lightly sprinkle it with earth.

In addition, you can install special sound repellents.
