Humane Product Solutions Designed To Repel and Deter Wildlife
An often successful humane wildlife control method is to simply deter or repel wildlife away from your
surrounding area utilizing various specialty items.
Today's market is saturated with such products, however, some may
contain ingredients harmful to you, your pets or the environment and some are far from being humane
- in spite of what their packaging says. Consequently, we wanted to share with you some products we've
successfully used that we feel are truly humane. Whether or not these products will work for you
in your specific situation will depend on a variety of factors including weather, application and targeted wildlife.

The Coyote Replica Goose Deterrent
If you've ever driven past a local golf course and had to do a double take to see if the stoic
coyote in the rough was real or not you may have already seen one of these replica products.
Coyote replicas
are a humane wildlife control method and are often used by golf courses or homeowners with
ponds to help deter geese away from the area. On occasion, they can also help deter geese from
swimming pools as well. However, like other replica wildlife control products on the market,
if they're not used at the right time and place, they
may not work quite as well as you might expect, regardless of the manufacturer's promised results.
Deterrent Versus Repellent Wildlife Control Products
Often these two words are used interchangeably, incorrectly or not, and their meanings are similar. In other words,
you can't always count on an item description to be grammatically correct as to which word is
used to describe a particular product's function or design. Some products
could even be classified in more than one category, depending on how you want to look at them. But, just for
fun let's look at the subtle differences between the words with respect to wildlife control.
A deterrent, which is the noun equivalent of the verb deter,
could basically be considered something that blocks, delays or discourages something an animal may want to do.
A wildlife barrier attached to your structure such as a vent guard or weep hole cover
would fall into this category because it "blocks" the animal's ability to
enter your home. A repellent, which is the noun equivalent of the verb repel, would be something
the animal encounters that it actually finds unpleasant to the senses,
often to the point of driving them away. The yard guard products
are a good example for this category, as animals find the sound they make annoying and
usually leave the area to get away from it.
The word repellant is listed in many dictionaries as an alternate spelling for
repellent, so for the most
part when it comes to wildlife products these two words can be considered as one in the same.
