That's the difference between you and I. I speak from experience, you're
showing your ignorance, especially when you included rodents in your claim.

I recently visited the northeast VA/ DC area to quote a project. I usually
visit the local garden shops. Several do carry bloodmeal, some with other
ingredients. Seems like it hasn't done much for the rats in that area.

I would tend to stay away from bloodmeal & bonemeal also. I think
cottonseed meal or something from plant sources will lesson the
"wildlife" encounters. I know birdwatchers like to use moth balls to
mast their sent when visiting nest trees. The animals we're talking
about are curious by nature, especially of unusual scents.


Respectfully, I don't know why you would say that. Bloodmeal is a very
effective deterrent against all rodents, as well as deer, racoons, and
opossum. They abhor the odor and shy away from any area where it is laid.
