People insert plastic forks into the soil,pronging upwards, it creates a hypsical barrier that pests will be unable to cross.

This hack can help in putting off pests by light reflection.

But this hack has its own limitation: it does not work on smaller pests like aphids or mites.

The viral going hack can not be used as a first hand solution, use it as a secondary solution with other organic pest control.

A sea of plastic forks in flower beds is not a pretty sight.
