The Voice of the Peeple

Well, I think that I can officially(with great fear and trepidation)announce that Spring has arrived in my neck of the woods. Flowers blooming, birds chirping, and some of the mud starting to dry up are all good indications. However, people are still skiing on Sugarloaf, so not all of Maine has been released from the icy grip of winter.

So, I got this little tidbit in my peemail today, and I thought it was worth passing along. I can tell you our stuff works, but it sounds even better when other people say so, too. So, find below another in the ongoing Don’t Just Take My Word for It series.

“I am a satisfied customer, having purchased the exact same product about 3 years ago. . . I knew I was looking for some predator urine to keep whatever is pooping all over my boathouse, and on my boat, away. The poop is primarily fish scales. This boathouse is in Pickwick, Tn. I used Google, and found your company with a wide selection of products. I didn’t think Bobcats would scare away whatever I had. Some of the coops around here sell bobcat urine crystals. I think it was my preacher who first suggested I look for that. I figured whatever the offenders were would recognize and fear coyotes. I have found that one bottle of coyote spray lasts about a year, but it has all worn off now.”

Just another in a long line of satisfied PredatorPee customers.

Have a good one!

Keep Skulking Skunks Away from Backyard Chickens

Hello from the Maine woods! The temperatures has soared today well into the 60’s, and after I finish this post, I may have to hit the back roads on my motorcycle. I may or may not wear my helmet – just don’t tell my daughters.

Well, according to my reading, the black and white fluffy creature that lurks near trash cans and under porches in the wee hours of the morning can also be a vicious threat to poultry. The Mephitis mephitis or common striped skunk will devour eggs and occasionally kill young poultry, and its relative the spotted skunk can be even more of a threat due to its ability to climb. I don’t know about you, but each and every egg Brown Betty lays is precious to me, so the thought of some egg-sucking predator getting to them makes me mad.

Lucky for Betty, and for you, the skunk relies heavily on its sense of smell because it has poor eyesight. This makes it an ideal pest to control by use of the predator-prey instinct that 100%PredatorPee takes advantage of. FoxPee is what we recommend for use against those monochromatic weasels of the night. But, you know, as I always say, don’t take my word for it . . .

“I live in San Diego, Cal. and we have so many skunks this year. I’ve called all over town asking how to get rid of them. Everyone said to get a trap and take them to the country to release them. I’m in my 70’s and am not about to trap a skunk! My son in Seattle, Wash. sent me some Fox urine. He said everyone up there uses it but down here they laughed at me. However, it has worked for 3 weeks, but now they’re back. Help! How can I order more ?”

Hope the sun is shining where you are, and prayers for those in and around Boston. The PeeMan

PeeMan’s Gotta Have Hobbies – Airstream Refurbish Post #1

Howdy!

In earlier posts, I alluded to my current non pee-related project – my metal beauty – vintage Airstream International Land Yacht – just typing it gives me the chills. Well, this project began in the fall of 2012, was briefly interrupted when I had a heart attack(look for future blog posts on my personally developed heart healthy, low sodium menu), and has been kicked into high gear in the last month or so. My goal is to refurbish her in a manner consistent with the vintage quality, but I am not a stickler, and I won’t be searching for months for some authentic Airstream toilet bowl handle. My family knows that minutiae is not my strong suit. I am a big man – 6ft. 7in., and I have big ideas and tackle big projects, but I never sweat the small stuff. Anyway, enough talk. Check out the before pictures:

Front bed obviously dismantled

Bed/couch 2 as yet untouched

Bath/shower complete with fishies – the wife will definitely want those GONE!

The door to adventure

The rear end

Well, that is what she looked like BEFORE. Stay tuned to see my first AFTER pictures. Extreme Makeover Airstream Edition – PeeMan style! Until then, have a good one.

Oh, and for all you RVers out there, did you know that squirrels, mice, rats, raccoons etc can easily do $1000’s of damage to wires and upholstery in any type of vehicle. Our PeeShots are perfect for this application. Check out our Car-Boat-RV Pack. Oops! I let a little business mix with pleasure, but I just couldn’t help myself. The PeeMan

Coyotes Creeping near the Coop? 100% Wolf Urine is the Solution!

Hello! Can you believe that it SNOWED here yesterday. Ridiculous even for Maine! Anyway, while trying to conserve warmth, I stumbled across an informative article about the coyote as a threat to chickens. The below text is from http://www.backyardchickens.com/a/coyote-chicken-predators-how-to-protect-your-chickens-from-coyotes. (For full disclosure – this is information obtained from Backyardchickens.com. They have not in any way endorsed PredatorPee.)

COYOTE (Canis latrans)

General Information

Coyotes are most active at night and during the early morning and late evening hours. In areas where they are not disturbed by human activities, and during the cooler times of the year, they may be active throughout the day. Urban coyotes are becoming very tolerant of human activities. Young coyotes tend to be more active during daylight hours than adults.

Description

Coyotes are medium sized animals belonging to the dog family. Most adults weigh between 22 to 25 pounds on the average, with males being the larger sex. With large erect ears, slender muzzle, and bushy tail they resemble a small collie dog. In the hotter drier regions , coyotes are tan-brown in color with streaks of gray. In the more mountainous or humid areas, the color is darker with less brown. In the winter the coats become quite dense, especially in the colder areas. The voice of the coyote is quite distinctive, consisting of various howls, high-pitched yaps, and occasional dog like barks.

Range
The coyote is found throughout North America from eastern Alaska to New England and south through Mexico to Panama. It originally ranged primarily in the northwest corner of the US, but it has adapted readily to the changes caused by human occupation and, in the past 200 years, has been steadily extending its range. Sightings now commonly occur in Florida, New England and eastern Canada.

Methods of Kill

Poultry, such as chickens, ducks, geese and turkeys, are easy prey, and any passing coyote bold enough to approach an area where they are ranging will help itself. Removing problem coyotes will only make space for other coyotes to move into the area. . . Coyotes are tenacious and opportunistic predators that can easily wreak havoc on your poultry farm. These nocturnal hunters will hunt for food whenever they are hungry or if the opportunity presents itself. A chicken buffet that is laid out for their easy access and convenience will attract not just a lone killer, but a pack of merciless coyotes.

Well, just reading about this gives me the chills. I knew coyotes were a threat to dogs and other small animals, but I just hadn’t considered the threat to chickens. That only make me want to let more people know about our 100% WolfPee as a deterrent to coyotes. http://www.predatorpee4chickencoops.com/ Check it out.

Fox in the hen house? We’ve got a pee for that!

Greetings from the north country!

If you raise chickens, I don’t have to tell you how damaging having a fox nearby can be. A single fox can take multiple chickens if allowed. Not only that, just having a fox nearby can mess with egg production. “. . . the mere presence of a predator lurking around your run area can stress the hens to the point that they stop laying. . . Other larger predators, such as foxes, opossums and skunks, will try and enter your coop as well if you don’t have it securely locked at night.” (20 Possible Causes for a Decrease in Egg Production by Lisa Steele)

The answer to this threat is 100% pure Wolf urine liquid and granules from Predator Pee. Nothing is more feared in the wild than the wolf. When you must repel predators like coyotes or foxes, only Wolf Urine will stop them in their tracks. When they think a wolf is around, coyotes, cats, foxes, elk, beavers, bear, mule deer, moose and other larger animals will want to go away quickly. Don’t wait! Protect your chickens! Don’t accept a substitute for 100% Predator Pee.

On a more personal note, I have purchased new foam mattresses for the Airstream, and I will be working with my daughter to reupholster them soon. The interior walls are also almost ready for painting. Gotta get this thing ready so the wife and I can go camping this summer in the beautiful Maine wilderness with the grandkids. Airstream pictures will be up soon once I figure out how to get them out of my confounded email. An old dog, ya know. Have a good one! Send some warmth up my way.

Protect Your Backyard Chickens with PredatorPee

The PeeMan’s very own Brown Betty

Well, isn’t she a beauty? She lays a mean egg, too. This whole backyard chicken thing is a relatively new experiment for the PeeMan. But, a whole host of critters, including foxes, coyotes, raccoons, hawks, and even dogs have been causing problems around chicken coops for decades. Whether it is in your back yard or a full farming operation, the need for an all-natural repellent to protect your chickens and their precious eggs has never been greater. As many of you sadly know from first-hand experience, foxes, coyotes, raccoons, hawks, and yes, even dogs eat chickens and ruin your prospects for eggs, whether you plan to eat ’em, sell ’em, or hatch ’em.

Wolf urine is an effective fox and coyote deterrent that repels foxes and coyotes from your chicken coop by creating the illusion that a wolf is nearby. Wolf Urine or Coyote urine will take care of raccoons, our PeeCoy Combo is great for birds, and Bear Urin or Skunk’Umcan keep the dogs away. Now you can protect your chickens and their eggs with Wolf Pee, Coyote Pee, Bear Pee, and Skunk’Um from PredatorPee.com, the best and most reliable source for predator urines since 1986.

Create a “pee-rimeter” around your chicken coop by using WolfPee liquid with ScentTags, 33 Day Dispensers or ScentWraps. This will keep fox and coyote away from your chicken coop for good. This is not a chemical repellent, nor are there any additives whatsoever. Wolf Urine is completely natural, organic, and 100% real urine! The one thing that a fox or a coyote fears is a wolf, and wolf urine sends a clear message that a wolf is nearby. Except no substitute.

Well, that is all for now. The sun shone briefly here for a while today and the temperatures actually rose above 50! Brown Betty was enjoying the sun, too! I’ve got some pictures of the Airstream project, and I will post them soon. The PeeMan

PredatorPee for Possum Problems?

Well, I could just tell you how great our products are, but you hear from me enough. Check out what satisfied return PredatorPee customer Paul had to say – “Used your Coyote Pee last summer to ward off possums and other night creatures. Seemed to work best over other products. This year we are trying the granules. Did Internet research through Google. A neighbor also told me about coyote urine in general. Disgusting smell, but it works!”

As for an update from the home front, it was a balmy 27 degrees this morning, and it didn’t get much above 40 all day with a brutal wind. It seems that we are paying in full for last year’s freakish Spring warmth. Oh well, at least I am able to stay out of the wind while I work on fixing up my vintage airstream camper. The PeeMan has to have some non-pee related hobbies, right? Maybe I will post some pictures of my progress soon. Anyway, hope it’s warmer where you are!
