Those fake owls (if you're talking about the ones that just sit there and look grim) don't work. I know: I have a pretty extensive patio garden and for the first year or two keeping the critters (rabbits, squirrels, various birds) away was an ongoing battle. When I ended up doing was getting a kinetic owl, mounted on a stake near the patio. "Kinetic" because the wings move whenever there's a breeze. Pest problem down to almost zero.
It doesn't have to be an owl, by the way. It can be any one of several birds of prey. I saw a kinetic osprey that was pretty impressive.
