Has anyone used fox urine as a rat repellent? Freakin rats chewed up everything last year my popup blinds, feet off chairs, ropes staking down blinds etc.. I was wondering if a few drops or squirts of fox urine on popup blinds would keep rats away and not scare off deer. I would not think deer would be all that fearful of a fox??? What the GS say??

I've had one try and take a flashlight from me while I sat in the blind.
Maybe I should just put a few snakes in there and take my chances as the chewing up the blinds is my biggest concern.

Neither fox nor coon urine keep rats out.
We learned a long while back to not set up a blind near a big cactus clump.
I saw some repellent pouches that are re-sealable the other day that are supposed to repel bugs and rats. Can't remember the name but the package was green. Also supposed to help keep owls out of your blind as well.
