Box of 2 PEST AWAY Garden Scent-rys

by Tricia

Box of 2 PEST AWAY Garden Scent-rysPEST AWAY Scent-ry Animal Repellent System Odors offend and repel animals, keeping your garden pest-free .

The Pest Away GARDEN SCENT-ry concept is control – not elimination. Use odors to repel dogs, cats, deer and other animals. Establish and maintain an aromatic repellent barrier and animals will find other places to visit and feed.

In some instances during the growing season, animals may “hold their nose’ and brave the repellent odor because the crop is so irresistible or other food sources are not available. But then damage to crops and plants can be controlled – no animal can hold its nose forever!

Each sturdy green plastic Pest Away Scent-ry in this set of two safely holds small quantities of repellents that last longer due to protection from rain. Fill with Shake-Away ( active ingredient is garlic oil) or everyday household repellents to protect gardens, flowering plants, and ornamentals.

How to Use Pest Away Garden Scent-ry: Choose repellent such as ammonia, bleach, mothballs, liquid/deodorant soap, human & pet hair, citrus peels, dried blood, etc. Fill the reservoir Add the screen and cover Push stake into ground, set unit on a deck or patio, or hang it from a tree. Additional Uses: Fill Pest Away with beer and use it as a slug trap. Attract beneficial insects with commercially available pheromone solutions. Place it outside next to your garbage container. Bring it camping.
