sonic device work?
I went to the nursery where I got my coyote urine, and talked to them some
more. They sort of turned their eyes sideways when I asked if it really worked. Then some statement like, "well, if you have coyotes in your area, then it will work." I refrained from saying well, if they're in my area, I wouldn't need the urine. At any rate, they recommended a sonic noisemaker thing. Has anyone tried it? They claim to use it themselves (I saw the box). Years ago I tried one from Costco for moles, and it didn't do anything. My family thinks it's a bad idea based on that. Electric fencing seems way over kill for a whiskey barrel water garden! Thanks! B-- infoseeker |

I would not use a sonic device. Even if they did work. I always worry about overkill and the possibility that some poor dog will be getting the 'effects' and not be able to get away (like the poor dog on our street sentenced to live in a tiny concrete run). k30a |

If by sonic device you mean the crack of a .22 caliber bullet exiting the barrel of a rifle, then yes, they work. BV. |

Well, my neighbor's already think I'm strange. I wonder if sitting in the
driveway with a .22 would change their opinion! *LOL* "BenignVanilla" wrote in message ... "infoseeker" reply by post thx wrote in message ...

I tried one, worked great on my wife and daughter, they wouldn't go
near the pond once it was installed. It worked on the Racoons as well, but since my wife is the one that spends the most time by the pond it was untenable for us. |

IFSKR: Hey....I might have rushed to judgement about the coyote urine when I
said it doesn't work....I'm now undecided. I didn't take it back like I said I was going to and it has been there for 8 days and he only came back the one time. I'm going to let it ride a little longer before I make up my mind. As you may have seen me write...we DO have coyotes here. BK "infoseeker" reply by post thx wrote in message ...

I used one made to repel rodents only and it did not work. Squirrels
built a nest in my garage three feet from it. If it would have kept my wife out of MY garage I would have kept it. ;-) "infoseeker" reply by post thx wrote in message ...

Unless your an excellent marksman, a short barrel shotgun is the preferred weapon. A discussion in another newsgroup about home security came up with that as "the ultimate point and shoot weapon". For "Varmits" a small bore gun will do, as the sound of the shotgun chambering should be enough to stop any two legged night crawler in their tracks. |
