What Are Your Secrets For Pest Deterrence?
I have a small property that should have a much nicer lawn, but a number of pests are doing quite a bunch of damage, so I am looking for methods of humanely deterring pests from my yard, but there are a lot of choices. Ultrasonics, granules, sprays.

Here are the pests. Stray cats, rabbits, voles/moles, skunks, raccoons and the occasional coyote. I think that I am going to need multiple approaches because I don’t think that one method will work for all of the different types of pests that I have living on my property rent free.

I want to go with ultrasonic and use different settings for different pests, but I can’t find any reliable customer feedback. Has anyone ever tried them or has had success with other methods?

I've had no luck with ultra sonics.

From my experience the only way is take away what they are coming for or if that's not possible... inhumanity is sometimes the only thing that works.

Why didn’t I expect non humane answers lol. I have used what I call liquid death. It is made of dead animal blood. It works amazingly well, but the property reeks of death for two days.

Cats, skunks, raccoons, and coyotes don't really cause any harm. Its joggers I'd want to prevent.

Thanks for the feedback.

Some of them are neighbors cats that the let roam the neighborhood. The hunt the moles/voles/mice, but aren’t doing a very good job and are just marking the yard, killing the grass with so much nitrogen from their pee.

Does anyone know of any good products like liquid death that don’t smell so awefull?

Yes, I was, but that doesn’t mean that cat pee can’t kill grass.


[link to homeguides.sfgate.com (secure)]

“ A small amount of cat urine can actually have a fertilizing effect on your lawn. You might see a plush, green patch of grass that appears to grow more vigorous than the surrounding grass. However, a larger amount of cat urine can burn the grass, resulting in a dead, brown patch that's surrounded by a green ring. Over time, the grass might recover, but sometimes the damage can be significant to the point where sodding or reseeding is required.”

Anything else derp award winner?

The obvious answer. Also, screw you and your lawn, OP. Get a natural landscape that doesn't require dicking up the local ecology and waste water.

A fence won’t keep all predators away. Just the ones that can’t climb or dig. As for your reply to having a yard. Screw you and your hatred for lawns. People rent apartments, apartments need yards, so yards need maintenance. Should I force tenants to picnic and play in a foot of grass with wild animals that can bite/scratch/infect them?

Insert joke here about sitting on your porch all day and night waiting to shoot varmints.
