I agree that predator urine is the best non-toxic deterrent to pest mammals. I had great success in encouraging skunks to vacate the premises under my house when I sprinkled cougar urine liberally around the hole they dug.
Bear urine might be effective, or perhaps you can find some wolf urine (although I should think coyote, while non-native to the UK, would have the same effect as wolf? I’m finding an ad online for “thepeemart.com” and they sell wolf urine as well. $21.99 in US dollars, so not very expensive. We have foxes at our museum, but since we have 54 acres and are in a semi-arid climate, there’s no well-manicured lawn to disrupt, only native plants in the landscape. Rattlesnakes and scorpions, however, are a different problem. *Susan Buce, Museum Registrar* Columbia Gorge Discovery Center and Museum 5000 Discovery Drive The Dalles, Oregon 97058 collecti...@gorgediscovery.org 541-296-8600 ext. 242 www.gorgediscovery.org *From:* 'Adrian Doyle' via MuseumPests <pestlist@googlegroups.com> *Sent:* Monday, February 08, 2021 5:55 AM *To:* pestlist@googlegroups.com *Subject:* RE: [EXTERNAL] Re: [PestList] foxes and sound emitters Dear pesty people Thanks, I’ll pass this over to our contractor Adie *From:* 'McManus, Blyth L' via MuseumPests <pestlist@googlegroups.com> *Sent:* 08 February 2021 12:51 *To:* pestlist@googlegroups.com *Subject:* Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: [PestList] foxes and sound emitters I agree with the suggestion of coyote scent.
