Scents that attract, scents that deter Recently I read about the killer whales that are killing great white sharks, and apparently this drives the other sharks away because there is something in the killed shark that scares the other sharks away just as blood in the water attracts them. No word about the ingredient or ingredients yet, but what about land animals? Something strong like Vicks Vapor Rub.... is there a scent that drives animals away? I've used scent lure for trapping and we've used various things for mice and rats, but what about a scent or scent that would send a bear or mountain lion away rather than attract them? Any thoughts?
