One of my local garden stores sells predator urine for discouraging
pests. I know that they collect it from captive predators
but I keep getting this image of some poor guy chasing a mountain
lion with a beaker in hand, calling "here kitty kitty..."]
My lawn has a terrible gopher problem so I tried peeing on
the gopher mounds. It wasn't all that effective but I'm a
vegetarian so maybe my pee dosen't smell predator... maybe
after a couple big macs it'd work.
I have some sort of rodent which I havn't seen that collects
acorns and puts them in the exaust pipes of my motorcycles.
I set out some rodent bait in the back corners of the garage
and a couple months later picked up a motorcycle muffler that
had been laying on the workbench and had rodent bait (and
acorns) dribble out.
