Wildlife Research CENTERCoyote Urine

I read on the ASPCA's website that if your dog will only defecate inside the house it may have a fear of going outside. They recommended getting another dog so it will make it easier for him to go outside (yeah right!), borrow a friend's dog for a while (um, no...) or to get some dog urine from a family or friend and spread it across the lawn. That last idea seemed a lot more reasonable. I didn't know how to do it though but thought I had seen dog urine or some type of carnivore urine online somewhere. I also wanted to get it to try and keep a cat out of our backyard that had attacked one of our cat's.I searched on Amazon and this was the cheapest and best reviewed stuff online. Plus, it is from a canine so I decided to give it a try.I'm really glad it doesn't have a strong smell. My brother, whom we rent the basement from, would have killed me if it did. It's kind of a musky smell but not very pungent. I held my nose right over the top of the bottle and it wasn't bad, not saying that it was a likable smell though!I went outside to spray it using the sprayer that came with it. The sprayer can be hard to attach but if you press hard while screwing it down, it will eventually go. If you press the spray head down hard, it will mist very finely. If you press it down halfway lightly, more drops will come out than mist. I had a tiny bit blow back toward me when spraying and I could smell it easily but it didn't stick around. After that, I pressed lightly and only halfway down. I sprayed every post on our chain link fence and every tree trunk plus some of the foundation of the house, some wood on the bottom of the porch. Then I sprayed it all over the grass in the corners of the yard.I brought my puppy out and immediately he could smell it and took a dump right away. He seemed to smell it on the grass the first day and a little bit on a fence post. Then he started smelling the rest of the fence posts after he was done. Smelled the trees too and the lawn corners. Didn't smell it on the foundation or the porch posts though.The cats didn't seem to notice it as far as I could tell. The neighborhood bully cat attacked our cat again that night. So I don't think it works well on cats.Our sprinklers came on in the morning the next day and from what I noticed, cleared away the urine that was on the grass and most of it that was on the fence posts. I think the porch posts and foundation were wiped clean or are not strong enough. The trees apparently soaked in the urine or at least held onto it longer. My dog still sniffs the tree trunks and defecates close to them. It's been a few days now since I sprayed it the first time.I used 3/4 bottle the first time. I sprayed some fence posts and the trees again the second time after a few days. Then I tossed what little I had left near the fence where the other cat keeps coming in. I haven't seen the other cat, but I might have scared really good the last time. Our dog still defecates by the trees. Not so much by the fence posts.I'd say if you use it for hunting, spray it downwind. Maybe on some grass or dirt. If you're determined to have a coyote come to where you want it to, find some trees or other wood and spray it on that and then retreat a distance away from it to be safe. If you mist it, make sure you don't get hit with it by the wind slapping it back in your face. It's a really good product though. But I'm not a hunter, so this whole review may be irrelevant. I do hope the hunters can use some of this information to help them out on their hunt. Good luck to you hunters that use it!

It didn’t work for me

I had multiple raccoons coming on my porch every night. Sometimes up to the door! Thanks to the product, I haven’t seen them in months! A little goes a long way!!

I had a problem with a squirrel moving into my garage to two previous wintersBut last fall I bought this and no squirrel this winter.

Applied it in an d around our garden and the groundhog holes coming out from under the shed, and it appeared to work for a time, but, unless applied on a daily basis, it wears off quickly, and the groundhogs return. Regrettably, I think the only effective way to deal with groundhogs is to eradicate them - or else, live with them eating everything in the garden.

After trying numerous products and asking for help, a feedstore owner recommended this product. It worked for us. I thought my cameras might not be functioning since they hadn't recorded any skunks, raccoons, or other creators. Then, after 3 months, the camera started recording the creepy crawler again. This told me it was time for another application. It really does the trick. I'm very satisfied with this product and already order more.

Did not work at all. Don't even believe it was coyote urine as others I purchased in the past were different and better.

Only thing I have found that actually works for keeping the stray cats out of my yard
