Same goes for marigolds, those are mostly for certain types of insects (they do nothing against groundhogs and cabbage moths). Fake predators last a bit longer, but only if they are the kind that have some moment to them and you move them from location to location a couple times a week.
The best things to keep animals at bay are other animals. Like dogs for instance. But, they need to be semi-trained and placed right where the problem animals are coming to.
An electric fence, that is properly built can stop anything, with some modifications. It's the most work. To do it right you need it high, to prevent deer from jumping over (6' to 8' at least). You need a skirt to prevent rabbits and groundhogs from digging under. If you have prairie dogs you need an in-ground barrier.
