The garden is a unique ecosystem that provides a habitat for a multitude of different animals. Depending on the design of the green oasis, other animals can be found in the garden, ranging from insects and spiders to birds, mammals and invertebrates such as snails. Of course, this includes cats, dogs and other animals that are kept by humans. They influence the balance in the garden and can even have a disruptive effect if, for example, holes are dug or plants are eaten in the bed. Since the variety of animals in your garden can vary greatly, you may have to fight ticks or you want to give birds a feeding place over the winter. Perhaps you are supposed to drive away dormice or have a cockroach problem and are wondering if you need to report them? For example, what dangers lie in wait for your puppies if wasps have nested in your garden? You will find answers to such questions here.
