Hi,

Anyone have successful experience with a diy tree repellent against Australian marsupials (eg. Wallabies, possums, etc) who tend to browse on trees in special when other food sources are more scarce for them?

I was thinking about bone sauce but I haven’t found anyone describing the use over here to control those animals.

I’d love to hear some stories.

Cheers

While I have no knowledge, it seems the way the bone sauce is made has something to do with its effectiveness.

So making it with Wallabies bones would make it effective or so it seems.

For folks not familiar with bone sauce:
