4. Pest Deterrent: Upturned Fork
Supplies Required: Plastic forks

Just place them upside down on the ground with their spokes pointing upward. The animal is deterred by the spikes’ strength, which is sufficient to give them a small fright but not enough to cause them any real harm. Additionally, packs of forks are only $1 each, which makes this hack quite affordable.
