Wildlife: How to repel

The fight against unwelcome animals will be effective to the extent that you have correctly identified the responsible for damages. Knowing the habits of the animal can greatly help you understand the causes of the problem and apply appropriate solutions. Remember "Prevention is better than cure".

Here are some prevention methods:

1 - Never feed a wild animal. This can become a routine for him.
2 - Do not leave bowls of food outside. Do not draw!
3 - Do not leave garbage bags on the outside or make them accessible.
4 - Block all openings of your home with wire mesh to prevent rodents to nest ( fireplace, air vent from the dryer, attic hatch, etc.)..
5 - Do not install bird feeders (if possible), some are fond of them
6 - Push them with a water jet for understanding that they are not welcome.
7 - Turn on outside lights at night, many of these animals love to stand in the dark.

Active Method:
If you have access to the burrow of the animal, you can use ammonia liquid as a repellent; this product is in the pharmacy over the counter prescriptions.

Usage 1:

1 - Best to wear gloves
2 - Attach a cloth on the end of a long stick or broom handle.
3 - Good moisten the cloth of liquid ammonia.
4 - Slide the long pole in the burrow of the animal.
5 – Moist the cloth with ammonia once a day, to prevent the complete evaporation of the product.
6 - Continue over minimum of 10 days or more.
7 - After 10 days, make sure that the animal has left by placing flour at the entrance to its burrow. If after 24 hours there is no sign indicating that an animal has come out or is in it, that when you can close it.
8 - You must then install a wire mesh at ground level to a depth of at least 18-24 inches deep.

Usage 2:

Place a cloth of ammonia in a plastic bowl (eg margarine bowl) and make holes in the lid to let out the strong smell of ammonia. Place a few plastic bowls convenient places where an animal could take refuge. Examples, under the balconies around the flower beds around the garden shed, etc..

In many cases, the tolerance may be the best solution, if the losses are minimal. The animal side is perhaps only of-way and in this case the problem disappears soon.

Please note that it is illegal for an exterminator to kill these animals.
