Human Urine To Detour Vermins?

[Crystalline Green]

In Louisiana, we have alot of deer, raccoons, squirrels, armadillos, opossums, etc. that could wreak havoc on one's outdoor plantation.

So I was wondering how I could keep them away from my plants. It occurred to me, hunters use deer urine to attract deer, right? So if I peed around the area of my bushes (not anywhere near them, just around the area), it should DETRACT them, logically, since deer are petrified of humans.

Am I being ridiculous or is this a real solution? And if not, then what could I use to prevent pests & bugs from eating my grow?

:thumbsup:

I think it would work for a while. After a while though critters tend to get use to the smell and will come anyway. During the summer if you planted corn a ways away from your grow they might go for that instead.

back in the day when i did grow, i used to have problems with deer all the time. pissing on my plants helped tremendously, but I'd still lose a few due to "vermin". probably because i had my plants spread really far apart, and well, i just didn't have that much piss.

When I went hiking into Black Bear territory we peed all around our camp before sleep to keep the bears away.

It's up to you, but if you only have plans for a half-dozen plants or so, I'd use a chicken wire cage around each one.

IDK if this would work for you but, my grandfather would always have a garden of edibles, and they would always be eaten by pests, so one day he went to the barber shop and collected the hair, he put it in a perferated bag and hung it up.

supposedly the smell of humans would scare off the animals. you can also ge those puppy pads and pee on them, and put them all around your plants then stake them to the ground. (they will reak and probably never move)

i have heard about the human hair idea as well, planning on trying it this summer

I've applied - um- 'stinky spray' to my share of outdoor cannabis plants... lol! Yes, it helps keep herbivorous pests away. Predator urine, be it human or coyote, is good for that. I wonder if a strict vegan were to apply his own mello yello to his plants, if it would work so well?

I strongly believe that animals keen noses can detect something in the urine that tells the sniffer that the urine in question is from a carniviore. Possibly the protein traces.....IDK. I have watched the reaction of animals to different types of urine, in hunting situations . From my VERY limited experience, individual animals react diferently. Some go on alert, some don't. But none that I have ever seen actually run away as if they were truly spooked by it.

I think the use of human urine as a deterrant may work, but I'd NEVER bet a crop on it, myself. Use C-4 on tripwires for sure-fire deterrants:thumbsup:
