Animal and insect repellents are deterrents that are designed to keep specific creatures away from certain places, people or other animals. While this seems like a simple enough proposition, there are many different ways that a good repellent can keep your property safe and sound from a variety of different pests. Because each type of repellent is so specific and as there are so many different varieties, it will be wise for you to learn a little about repellents and how they work.

Despite what you may have heard, nearly any animal, no matter how wily or how immune, can be repelled in some way. There are many reasons why you may wish to keep certain animals off your property. Insects can be especially dangerous to your plant-life, whether you have a small garden or many acres of land to take care of. Similarly, you can have issues with stray dogs, coyotes, raccoons or possums, all animals that are known to be destructive and a nuisance to humans.

Some repellents are applied directly to the subject, in the form of sprays. Spray repellents are especially good for use against insects. As they are applied to skin, clothing and other surfaces, they can be carried around wherever the bearer pleases and thus result in a method of staying pest-free that doesn't involve carrying around heavy gear. This is an ideal choice for outdoor events like camping and fishing.

There are also mechanical methods of repellent. Most obvious is barbed wire, a metal wire with sharp spikes wound along its length. Barbed wire is ideal for situations on ranches and farms, when one is trying to keep coyotes away from your stock.

For those seeking a more natural repellent, there are ways to make sure that the area you are trying to protect is an unattractive one to the pest in question. The urine of large predators is one way to keep your garden free of vermin: for example, the urine of a fox, will send most rabbits, squirrels and woodchucks packing!

Chemical repellents are also quite common, especially when used to combat insects. Essentially, a chemical repellent either masks the prey that a predator may be interested in or acts as an irritant to deter pests. Citronella and the oil of the lemon eucalyptus are both substances that can drive off mosquitoes. Meta-N,N-diethyl toluamide, more commonly known as DEET effectively blinds insects and makes them unable to detect nearby prey. In the case of stronger repellents, like permethrin, the chemical in question also acts as an insecticide.

Whatever your problem there's no need to play host to a variety of unpleasant party crashers. Read up on repellents and evict them today!
