Wildlife is an important part of all surrounding Eco-systems. However, that does not mean we want them as guests. Whether inside or out, wild animals are highly destructive to a property. After putting in hours of hard work into our lawns, gardens, flowers beds, and landscaping, it can be incredibly discouraging to find it all destroyed by a hungry swarm of squirrels, raccoons, skunks, and other common types of local wildlife. Although you might want to get rid of nuisance animals, you certainly do not want to harm them in any way. Now that it\u2019s time for spring, these threats are right around the corner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Making Homemade Animal Repellent<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Wild animals like raccoons, opossum, skunks, squirrels, and chipmunks are very sensitive to intense smells and tastes. For this reason, you can use basic household spices, herbs, and essential oils to create a repellent that will keep them far away from your yard. Ingredients like cayenne pepper, menthol, peppermint, spearmint, chili pepper, black pepper, eucalyptus, and hot sauce, are effective at repelling all sorts of wild animals because they hate the tastes, smells, and how they react with their senses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simply mix them together with clean water inside of a clean plastic spray bottle, and you have your very own animal repellent! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Apply Your Repellent<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although the ingredients are safe and non-toxic, they can\nstill cause extreme irritation to the eyes, nose, throat, and skin. For this\nreason, be sure to keep dogs and cats away from treated areas. The best way to\nuse your repellent is to apply it around areas that have the most wildlife\nactivity. If you notice raccoons are digging up grubs in your lawn, spray the\nhomemade solution around the perimeter of the yard to create a\ngenerously-dressed border. Or, if you have skunks or chipmunks eating up your\ngarden, spray the solution on your plants and around the perimeter of your\ngarden beds to keep them away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You Might Need Professional Help<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The best course of action to take would be hiring a local\nand trusted wildlife removal and control company. Even if you do not require\nanimal extraction, they can provide a wide range of professional services that\ncan prevent nuisance wildlife from gaining access into your house, as well as,\nreduce the level of wildlife activity around your property. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
