HOME-MADE SOLUTIONS
- Ammonia
Household ammonia used full-strength is inexpensive and available in food stores. We recommend you try ammonia first.
- Bleach
Some people report that laundry bleach used full-strength is especially effective in repelling cats.
- Deodorant Soap
Strong smelling deodorant soaps have been reported as effective in repelling deer and other animals. But be sure to hang the GARDEN SCENT-ry - groundhogs and other rodents may eat the soap if they can get to it. Cut the soap into pieces and place in the reservoir. You might want to add a small amount of water.
- Dog Hair - Cat Hair - Human Hair
Reports on the effectiveness of hair (from any animal) vary. In some instances we are told that hair was used with total satisfaction. Other people tell us it does not work at all. Pet groomers , hair salons and barber shops will usually give you as much hair as you want. You might want to add a small amount of water when filling the reservoir with hair.
- Liquid Oil-Based Soap
Use full strength. Pour directly into the reservoir. We suggest you put a piece of paper towel, a rag, or sponge material in the reservoir prior to filling.
- Mothballs
Place directly in the reservoir. Fill to the top.
- Unique Home-Spun Concoctions and some "Silly Solutions'
... my Grandmother once told me about..." Parts of fish or egg yolks. Smelly old clothing or pieces from old leather shoes or shoe insoles. Sachet of garlic, tobacco and onions. And a bunch more - just ask your neighbor!
COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE REPELLENTS
Garden centers and hardware stores sell a variety of repellents appropriate for use in the GARDEN SCENT-ry. Use the GARDEN SCENT-ry to prolong their effectiveness and to protect your crops and ground water from chemical contamination.
ATTRACT BENEFICIAL INSECTS
Place your pheromone lures in the reservoir to protect them from the sun and rain. When the beneficials rest on the GARDEN SCENT-ry you can easily move them from one location to another.
TRAP SNAILS AND SLUGS
Fill the reservoir with beer or a yeast bait to trap snails and slugs. Dig a hole about 1½" deep and 6" in diameter, so the reservoir is partially buried in the soil. This will give snails easy access to the bait.
END NOTE: The GARDEN SCENT-ry was developed with the home gardener in mind. Like your plants and flowers, it needs some attention and should not be left unattended for weeks at a time.
