If anyone ever comes up with one, let me know so I can invest in it. There a rather HUGE market out there just waiting for a breakthrough product.

Hand tools and things that imply that there is work to be done seems to be good repellent.

If you want to keep them off of your property, just lean some shovels on your fence..

That might explain why they never come round here ... I've got at least a dozen shovels in plain sight, and worse, some even have dirt stuck to 'em, like they've been used or something!!

Wasn't that back when they called 'em "revenooooers"??

Ya know, them old timers were smarter'n they looked. We really oughta consider goin' back to usin' rock salt. Bear spray ain't workin' any better on gubmint workiers than it does on grizzlies!!

I've always thought that the problem with bear spray is that you have to get "WAY TOO CLOSE" in order for it to be effective.

Gotta agree, that is a problem... "If you're close enough to the bear for bear spray to work -- WHAT WERE YOU THINKING??!"

Now, rock salt, that's got a mite more range
