Predator urine is known to be an effective repellent against many animal pests, including deer, squirrels, rabbits, raccoons, grounhogs, and many other animals. It’s an organic option that offers excellent protection without harming animals, people or the environment. We get a lot of questions about using it. Here are some.
How Does it work? Animals are born with an instinctive fear of their predators, and are quickly alerted to the smell of a predator in the area. Farmers and gardeners have a long history of using this natural fear to keep unwanted animals away. Dried blood, and predator urine are both fear “triggers” that will cause an animal to flee the area.
Do I have to cover the whole area? NO you do not. When using a predator urine, the idea is to mimic a predator marking its territory, so a few drops every 5-6 feet is all you need to send the message that a predator is in the area- stay away!
Can I use it inside the house? Not recommended, because, well, it smells like urine. If you have squirrels or another pest animal in the house, remove them by another means first, then put down the repellent outside to keep them from coming back in.
How is it collected?Are the “donors” harmed? Our predator urine is collected from animals who are domestically raised on farms carefully monitored by state and federal agencies. The animals are trained to use a certain area of their habitat in which a collection device has been installed. The animals are not interfered with and are completely unaware of their “contribution.”
Will Bobcat urine attract other Bobcats to the area? None of the urine products will attract other animals of the same species. Most predators are very territorial, and mark their territories to keep others away. So by using this you will deter not only prey animals, but also other predators.
Using a predator urine to control pest animals is a gentle, natural method. There are no chemicals, no toxins that will harm animals, plants or beneficial insects. It is a natural, instinctive way of training wild animals to avoid a particular area. If you are troubled by animals eating your landscape, invading your trash cans, or endangering your livestock, predator urine may be the effective, economical control you’re looking for.
