I know some of you will think I'm just kidding due to my recent run-ins with
the raccoon but this is serious - no kidding. Yesterday I was at Petco and was talking to the guy in the fish department and I mentioned I had a pond. He tells me that he used to but gave it up due to being constantly trashed by the raccoons. So I mentioned to him that I had 4 visits from coons in the last week and I was thinking of trading in the goldfish and koi for 200 4" piranhas to remedy the problem. (OK I can't help it - just kidding about that part). So he tells me I should get some coyote urine...that if it was available when he had the problem, he's probably still have his pond. For a second I thought HE was kidding and I said, "You said coyote urine?" He said that they sell it across the street at Green Thumb Nursery. So I went over there and bought an 8 oz bottle plus a couple of dispensers. Last night was the first time I used it and didn't have a visit - coincidence? I don't know but I had to try it even if it was $16. Anybody else hear of it? And it IS actual 100% pure coyote urine, not some chemical (according to them). I'll take their word for it.

Okay. I gotta ask. How *do* they 'harvest' it? When in doubt, go to the website! Not only can you get Coyote urine but Fox, Bobcat, Wolf and Mt. Lion (!!!) Website says "All urines are collected naturally from domestically raised animals on farms that are controlled by appropriate state and federal agencies" I can't imagine naturally collecting a urine sample from a Mt. Lion. Mt. Lions occasionally eat people in our area of the country. k30a |

Yeah, that's what I asked too - everybody I asked said they didn't know and
didn't want to. *LOL* I just hope I don't trade a raccoon problem for a coyote problem and other coyotes are actually ATTRACTED to the scent! That's probably how they sell the mountain lion urine.:-) BK "K30a" wrote in message ... bobkiely wrote And it IS actual 100% pure coyote urine Okay. I gotta ask. How *do* they 'harvest' it?

Well you know, I've heard that when the raccoon smells bottled coyote urine
they laugh themselves to death at the thought of a coyote being forced to pee in a bottle. ;o) Keep us posted if it keeps working and how often you have to re-apply. I think I'll stick with my scarecrow sprinkler. ~ jan On Mon, 7 Jul 2003 18:07:05 -0700, "bobkiely" wrote: I know some of you will think I'm just kidding due to my recent run-ins with the raccoon but this is serious - no kidding.

For $16 you should have gotten the whole coyote! It is supposed to
work if there are coyotes in your area. The coon may just think it is cheap cologne if it does not recognize it as a predator. I looked out this morning to one furry bandit in a Hav-a-heart. I think I'll take the little guy to the park today. Good luck with yours. I hope I only have one. "bobkiely" wrote in message news:nQrOa.99793$%42.80004@fed1read06...

Here in NJ that was quite often. In your area it wouldn't be that often. I think the scarecrow does a much better job! -- Bonnie NJ http://home.earthlink.net/~maebe43/ |

That's like paying $2. for a bottle of filtered water or $1. for a

BK snip I still think I would look forward to the...snap the lights on...come out shouting with a paintball gun. Seems like it would scare the crap out of the coon, and be fun while you are at. You could also take a 20oz Pepsi bottle with about 3 inches of water in it. Add 5-6 dry ice pellets, screw the cap on tight and toss out by the pond. Makes one hell of a boom. Should scare everything within a quarter mile. Oh, and hurt anything with 10 feet or so, so don't aim for a direct hit. Scare the little dude, don't hurt him. BV. |
