Abstract:
A repellant composition for ground rooting animals is disclosed that includes a limestone carrier of capsicum powder and a limestone sorbent for castor oil that each has a limestone coating bound to them by a binding agent. The limestone sorbent is porous and provides a long-sustained release of repellant elements from the composition, while providing a composition that is dry to the touch. The repellant composition is spread on the ground, drenched to work it into the ground and then allowed to dry. The composition maintains effectiveness for several months while being beneficial to soil.
