• Fruiting trees, vines, vegetable patches and herb gardens (and even fish ponds and water features) offer rich rewards to baboons and attract them to residential areas.
• Nothing is more infuriating than your lovingly tended veggie patch being destroyed by baboons in a matter of minutes!  Baboon-proof your vegetable garden – there are various options for this such as wire or mesh that will let the sunshine in but not baboons.
• Use contained composting bins, rather than an open compost heap,
• If possible, plant indigenous plants that offer no fruits or seeds that baboons will eat. 
• Try to keep your garden fairly open and minimise dense thickets of plants which will provide cover for the baboons and places for them to hide.
