‘Evening-I live in a lovely Gorham neighborhood, in the last house on a dead-end street, surrounded by woods. For five years, I’ve had only occasional problems with deer but this year — after the lightest winter in history, go figure — it seems the word is out. Deer are coming right up to my family room windows and have stripped a yew, a holly, and two arborvitae. These are… *ahem* were well-established plants that have survived harsh winters and two big, rowdy dogs, so it broke my heart to see them defoliated. I generally have a live-and-let-live attitude about these things but in this instance, there are plenty of other nutrients in the immediate area, so I didn’t see the humor AT ALL.My question is this: there are quite a few coyotes in the surrounding area and the deer don’t seem to be in the least perturbed by their presence (or mine, or that of my loud German Shepherd). Does this mean that I should consider using, say, wolf urine instead of coyote urine? My personal preference would be a flame-thrower but I’m pretty sure there’s a municipal code that prohibits it… regrettably.By the way, I came to your website by way of my vet’s recommendation. She has chickens and relies on your products to keep them safe, which I thought was a wonderful endorsement.Thanks in advance,Cynthia
Cynthia,
With coyotes in the neighborhood, we do recommend going with WolfPee. It has the added benefit of not only keeping the deer away, but the coyotestoo! Here is the direct link. Thanks for finding us…send me the name of your vet, so I can thank her.

Q. I am contacting you from Nova Scotia Canada desperate for help. Our roof is being torn up by 
I’ve recently started “taking care” of a stray cat. We built him a house outside and I give him a meal twice a day. I want him to stay.
Q. My nephew lives well away from a creek corridor in an established neighborhood in Richardson, TX. In the past month, a bobcat has attacked first two small dogs in his backyard, and after a break of a couple of weeks, returned and attached a third larger blue heeler dog in the same back yard. Other neighbors have missing pets as well. Animal Control has put traps with live chickens by his pool and outside his gate in the hopes they can get them, but so far, no luck, and then there was this second attack. Animal Control thinks the bobcats travel from roof to roof to look into the yards to see if there is something they want to eat. Since they are creatures of habit, they keep to the same travel patterns, and obviously they are wary of the traps or not interested in the chickens.
“ratty” questions I have gotten in my PeeMail lately. Enjoy!
