Wildlife Research Center Coyote Urine Predator Calling Masking Scent for Coyote Hunting

I read on the ASPCA's website that if your dog will only defecate inside the house it may have a fear of going outside. They recommended getting another dog so it will make it easier for him to go outside (yeah right!), borrow a friend's dog for a while (um, no...) or to get some dog urine from a family or friend and spread it across the lawn. That last idea seemed a lot more reasonable. I didn't know how to do it though but thought I had seen dog urine or some type of carnivore urine online somewhere. I also wanted to get it to try and keep a cat out of our backyard that had attacked one of our cat's.I searched on Amazon and this was the cheapest and best reviewed stuff online. Plus, it is from a canine so I decided to give it a try.I'm really glad it doesn't have a strong smell. My brother, whom we rent the basement from, would have killed me if it did. It's kind of a musky smell but not very pungent. I held my nose right over the top of the bottle and it wasn't bad, not saying that it was a likable smell though!I went outside to spray it using the sprayer that came with it. The sprayer can be hard to attach but if you press hard while screwing it down, it will eventually go. If you press the spray head down hard, it will mist very finely. If you press it down halfway lightly, more drops will come out than mist. I had a tiny bit blow back toward me when spraying and I could smell it easily but it didn't stick around. After that, I pressed lightly and only halfway down. I sprayed every post on our chain link fence and every tree trunk plus some of the foundation of the house, some wood on the bottom of the porch. Then I sprayed it all over the grass in the corners of the yard.I brought my puppy out and immediately he could smell it and took a dump right away. He seemed to smell it on the grass the first day and a little bit on a fence post. Then he started smelling the rest of the fence posts after he was done. Smelled the trees too and the lawn corners. Didn't smell it on the foundation or the porch posts though.The cats didn't seem to notice it as far as I could tell. The neighborhood bully cat attacked our cat again that night. So I don't think it works well on cats.Our sprinklers came on in the morning the next day and from what I noticed, cleared away the urine that was on the grass and most of it that was on the fence posts. I think the porch posts and foundation were wiped clean or are not strong enough. The trees apparently soaked in the urine or at least held onto it longer. My dog still sniffs the tree trunks and defecates close to them. It's been a few days now since I sprayed it the first time.I used 3/4 bottle the first time. I sprayed some fence posts and the trees again the second time after a few days. Then I tossed what little I had left near the fence where the other cat keeps coming in. I haven't seen the other cat, but I might have scared really good the last time. Our dog still defecates by the trees. Not so much by the fence posts.I'd say if you use it for hunting, spray it downwind. Maybe on some grass or dirt. If you're determined to have a coyote come to where you want it to, find some trees or other wood and spray it on that and then retreat a distance away from it to be safe. If you mist it, make sure you don't get hit with it by the wind slapping it back in your face. It's a really good product though. But I'm not a hunter, so this whole review may be irrelevant. I do hope the hunters can use some of this information to help them out on their hunt. Good luck to you hunters that use it!

I have four dogs. 3 different breeds. I emptied the bottle on the side of my yard, drenching about 4-5 different spots. I set up a gate and locked my dogs in the area and waited. They sat right by those spots and not one of them was able to pick up a scent. They just stared at me for five minutes. The smell to me is like a vinegar/ alcohol smell. It doesn’t smell like urine. I’ve never smelled coyote urine, but this did not smell like urine at all. Waste of money.

I had a problem with a squirrel moving into my garage to two previous wintersBut last fall I bought this and no squirrel this winter.

I had multiple raccoons coming on my porch every night. Sometimes up to the door! Thanks to the product, I haven’t seen them in months! A little goes a long way!!

I bought this on the chance it would deter the local squirrels from dining on the tomato's. I sprayed the garden area and some of the tree's. It seemed to work the first few days. I sprayed it again to freshen the scent but they returned. In all honesty this stuff smells nasty and should repel critters. I really do not want to put this product down, it just didn't have the effect I hoped it would.

I used the coyote urine to train my dog to go to the bathroom in the backyard. I sprayed it in certain areas of the yard where I'd prefer him to go to the bathroom and I saw immediate results. He went straight to where I sprayed and pees and poops all the time now in those places. For this purpose it did a really great job.

I'm really not the one to leave a bad review but I own and run one of the most successful wildlife rescues in Palm Beach county. I'm a wildlife rehabilitator and wildlife specialist and I specialize in raccoons. I run a non kill rescue. In 9 years I've never had a problem with repellent until I tried this product .. honestly it's like watered down and very thin ... It should stink to high heaven that's how you know if it's good or not. I actually let a customer smell it right from the bottle and it took him like three times to actually say yeah that stinks. Normally the stuff I use the good stuff is mixed from all different coyotes giving the animal you trying to repel humanely the assumption that there is a pack around. This stuff did not work and all it did was just maker stay on high alert. I applied my other brand which was unavailable at the time and by morning she had taken 3 babies and relocated. If you're buying this to keep animals away that are a nuisance for you then try a different brand. Maybe the company will read this being I am one of those knowledgeable experience raccoon experts in South Florida and use pure 100% coyote urine and if they are better stop watering it down.

After trying numerous products and asking for help, a feedstore owner recommended this product. It worked for us. I thought my cameras might not be functioning since they hadn't recorded any skunks, raccoons, or other creators. Then, after 3 months, the camera started recording the creepy crawler again. This told me it was time for another application. It really does the trick. I'm very satisfied with this product and already order more.
