Unwelcomed Guests

We spoke earlier about keeping unwanted pets out of our gardens. We touched first on dogs. Then we touched on cats. For those of us living in certain rural areas we may find that many more unwanted animals can make their way into our gardens or lawns.

Luckily, modern technology has utilized animals' natural instincts to help keep them away. Animal repellents usually work by taking advantage of an animal's natural aversion to something, and it is often something that the animal has learned to or instinctively avoid in its natural environment.

For instance, some animals will avoid anything that has the odor of the urine of certain predators. Coyote urine, for example, has gained popularity as a deer repellent. Fox urine is sometimes used to repel rabbits, groundhogs,or squirrels. Bobcat urine can repel moles, mice, and other rodents. In the northwest such as Canada, wolf urine is sometimes used to repel moose.

Chemical repellents such as liquid fence animal repellents, mimic natural substances that repel or deter animals, or they are designed to be so irritating to an animal that the animal will avoid the area.

Ideal animal repellents, such as liquid fence products are completely specific for the certain animals. It drives away the animal that one wishes to repel without affecting or harming any other animals or people. It may come in a variety for specific animals. Dog, cat, deer, turkey, goose, etc.
