take in the traps. DO NOT P**S OFF THE FAIRIES! Bad idea. Distract them with shiny things on the edges of the garden-some glass marbles under an oak tree will occupy them for decades. Some ginger bread now and then will make them your BFF.

For wildlife, it all depends on what's nibbling the plants. Old CD's, or disposable aluminum pans on a string will sparkle and shoe away crows and other birds.

You can buy little slug traps (load with stale beer) for cheap. To keep away deer, woodchucks, and other furry things, try dog hair clippings, or coyote or bobcat urine powder (no joke, someone makes money selling coyote tinkle!)

Good luck!
