ANIMAL CONTROL RECIPE
Wild Life Repellent
An ammonia-soaked rag treatment signals territory to raccoons, opossums, and other night visitors — a scent strong enough to convince them the area is already claimed.
Prep: 10 minutes
Yields: 4–6 rags
Use with caution
Materials
Household ammonia
Old rags or cloth strips
Small dishes or jar lids
Instructions
1
Soak rags thoroughly in ammonia, wearing gloves to protect your skin.
2
Place the soaked rags in small dishes to catch drips.
3
Set the dishes around garden edges, near trash areas, or wherever wildlife activity is a problem.
4
Re-soak rags every few days as the scent fades.
Caution: Handle ammonia in a well-ventilated area, avoid contact with skin and eyes, and never mix it with bleach or other cleaning products.
