Dog repellents are the diverse approaches designed for repelling unwanted canine intruders from a specific area. These include the usage of various substances keeping the dog away. The most widely used dog Repellents are Powders, Granules or Sprays. They need to be sprinkled or sprayed on the ground. Their basic disadvantage is that you need to reapply them after rains or after a period of time when the strength of their odour diminishes. This category of dog repellents includes the homely products like Ammonia and Vinegar found in the kitchen. It is advised that you should not spray ammonia or vinegar directly onto any landscape plants or lawn grass as it will kill vegetation if sprayed in sufficient amount. They should be used around the perimeter of your property, thereby forming an invisible barrier for keeping the dogs away.
In addition to Ammonia and Vinegar, dogs dislike the smell of citrus and thus, you can use orange, lemon peels, or grapefruit as dog repellents. You can use these fruit peels as natural product which is easy to obtain, however, their use will be restricted to backyard garden areas from where they cannot be seen. The Commercial Dog Repellents are also very popular. One of them is Get Away® dog repellent based on the smell of citrus. This dog repellent is available in both granule and spray form. Other example is of Critter Ridder® which is an organic dog repellent that comes in both granules and sprays form and produces a smell of black pepper that drives the canines away.
Liquid Fence® is another dog repellent that masks the smells seek by dog in areas to do their business.
In addition to dog repellents, there are various gadgets that keep the dogs away like Scarecrow Sprinklers. You need to simply hook one in the garden hose and allows its motion-activated mechanism to do the work. Another benefit is that there’s no need for taking separate control measures against different types of pests. Yard Gard® is an electronic dog repellent that is effective against other pests.
