Accepting doesn't mean it's the best answer, it just means that it worked for the person who asked.

How to prevent unicorns from eating daisies

I love the unicorns who hang out behind my kitchen, but they do tend to eat rather a lot of the daisies. What can I do about this?

The easiest solution is to spray the daisies lightly with corn syrup using a standard vegetable oil sprayer. It won't hurt the flowers, but unicorns hate the sickly-sweet smell and will avoid it at all costs!

Plant more daisies! Contrary to popular belief, unicorns do not actually eat corn, which is only tasty in the late summer months anyway. Without daisies they tend to get grumpy and dehydrated.
