Default sonic device work?

I went to the nursery where I got my coyote urine, and talked to them some
more. They sort of turned their eyes sideways when I asked if it really
worked. Then some statement like, "well, if you have coyotes in your

area,
then it will work." I refrained from saying well, if they're in my area,

I
wouldn't need the urine. At any rate, they recommended a sonic noisemaker
thing. Has anyone tried it?

They claim to use it themselves (I saw the box). Years ago I tried one

from
Costco for moles, and it didn't do anything. My family thinks it's a bad
idea based on that. Electric fencing seems way over kill for a whiskey
barrel water garden!


If by sonic device you mean the crack of a .22 caliber bullet exiting the
barrel of a rifle, then yes, they work.

Well, my neighbor's already think I'm strange. I wonder if sitting in the
driveway with a .22 would change their opinion!
*LOL*

I tried one, worked great on my wife and daughter, they wouldn't go
near the pond once it was installed. It worked on the Racoons as
well, but since my wife is the one that spends the most time by the
pond it was untenable for us.

IFSKR: Hey....I might have rushed to judgement about the coyote urine when I
said it doesn't work....I'm now undecided. I didn't take it back like I
said I was going to and it has been there for 8 days and he only came back
the one time.

I'm going to let it ride a little longer before I make up my mind. As you
may have seen me write...we DO have coyotes here.

I used one made to repel rodents only and it did not work. Squirrels
built a nest in my garage three feet from it. If it would have kept my
wife out of MY garage I would have kept it. ;-)

Unless your an excellent marksman, a short barrel shotgun is the
preferred weapon. A discussion in another newsgroup about home security
came up with that as "the ultimate point and shoot weapon".

For "Varmits" a small bore gun will do, as the sound of the shotgun
chambering should be enough to stop any two legged night crawler in
their tracks.

OK, questions:

1. How long am I banned if I don't send you a bunch of locusts?
2. K30a and Joe are first to receive the locusts...will 10,000 each be
enough?
3. Please forward ship to addresses.

Yours truly,
BK

I think "Time served" would about do it.

I'm going out right now to start digging.
