Deer & Rabbit Control and Repellents
This article will discuss deer and rabbit control, the differences and effectiveness of quality repellents. Although there are many choices of repellents, you must be wise in your selection. To get the most of your money’s worth one must keep several key factors in mind. The product that is right for them, the application method in using the product, the mode of action for home use, square footage of property, reapplication timing, and safety. All these aspects contribute to the proper riding of deer and rabbits.
Dee and rabbit control is essential. When shopping for repellents online or in the store one must be cautious of the concentrate percentage, the form of repellent, and the active ingredients. The active ingredients will indicate what kind of repellent it is. When products use dried animal blood it targets the deer/rabbits senses of smell and signals danger. This notifies the deer and rabbit that the area is not secure. If a product uses putrescent egg solids, this attributes to the deer and rabbits sense of taste as a direct signal that the food is undesirable. These come in spray bottles for the most part, yet can also be sold in granular for big open fields. The concentrate percentage is determined by how potent the repellent is. With more concentrate being used the better chance you stand against these critters. During seasons such as mating or fawning you can step up your frequency of concentrate. Use on a regular basis to coordinate with a deer and rabbits feeding patterns.
Take care of your pump sprayer. The sprayer may clog over periods of use, and you need it ready for winter. Yes I said it winter. If you fail to apply it on your bushes before winter, deer will quickly decimate them before you know it. As the spring month floats around once again, be diligent in your spraying at first. The new buds of trees will blossom quickly and you will have too continuously spray them. Just get it done in one swoop when the blossom is fulfilled.
Wearing proper attire when spraying any product is essential. Gloves are recommended and if contact occurs with the liquid, wash it off immediately. Most safe deer and rabbit control products are all natural and will not cause harm, but you can never be too safe. The repellent may give off a bad odor, so recommendations of using before a cookout is advisable.
