Squirrel Repellant

The last time I was trying to keep Squirrels out of the garden I used Red Fox Urine.  And it worked to an extent.  This time I used Coyote Urine, and the results are amazing.  Not only did the Squirrels run out of the area right away, I've not seen them get close to the back yard.

I placed Coyote Urine around the garden, on the tree the Squirrels have a nest in and on all of the fence posts.  It has not rained yet, however as soon at it does I'll reapply the urine in the same spots.

It only took about half an ounce.  We sell it in 4 oz. Bottles for only $8.00  Depending on the amount of rain and the size of the area you want to treat, one bottle should last you about 30 to 65 days.

Check us out at www.DixieTrapper.com, on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and Pinterest.

We now offer a full line of non-lethal safe and non-toxic repellants.

All natural and safe, application service available or purchase the repellant of your choice and apply it yourself.

All repellants come with full instructions and you can call us for advice.

Nine-banded Armadillo

This native of southwestern North America is not a Florida native.

As early as the 1920s they were introduced to Florida

Animals from these various introductions, and those naturally expanding from western populations, merged in the Panhandle in the late 1970s or early 1980s, and they now occur throughout the state. 

Armadillos can be a nuisance to homeowners when they dig up lawns looking for food. They also carry diseases such as St. Louis encephalitis, leptospires, arboviruses, and leprosy.

In most cases these animals will hang out for a couple of weeks and just move on. 

However in some cases they set up camp. 

Trapping is an option, however should not be your first choice.  A little predator urine in the right locations and a few changes you can make to your property will chase off most Armadillo's and/or deter them from coming into your yard.

Armadillo's are very active in Polk county right now.  It's been raining bringing their food source closer to the surface of the ground and the soil is moist and soft making it easier for them to get food.  It is the time of year when Armadillo's are giving birth.  This means you will see them out in the morning and evening while it is still daylight.
