Jun. 18th, 2009 09:52 pmUgh. The past few days have really left me wiped, on so many levels. It doesn't help that I haven't been sleeping well lately either. I randomly wake up in the middle of the night anxious as all get-out, which doesn't make for a restful night. Luckily, I can sleep in tomorrow, so I hope that'll help.
But enough about me. Let's talk about TIGER PISS.
Yes, tiger piss. So I lamented a few weeks ago about how my beans had been thoroughly raped and pillaged, and that it likely had to be some sort of mammal, considering the time frame and the amount of damage done. So we got some liquid fence, which supposedly is safe and has some sort of scent that kept deer and rabbits away from whatever it was sprayed upon. Upon reading that, Dad remarked that it must have tiger piss in it or something. The name has since stuck.
I've been holding back on using it, as the perpetrator(s) hasn't come back, so I figured it was a one-time thing. That was, until yesterday, when I found more damage. "Okay self," I said to myself, "Time to break out the tiger piss and see if it works."
According to the bottle, the scent is strong when applied, but isn't detectable by humans when it dries. "How bad could it be?" I said to myself, and began spraying a perimeter around the beds.
I gotta tell ya, that bottle wasn't lying. The stuff is STRONG. I'm still not quite sure I can describe the scent. It started out musty, I think, then it kinda went rancid over time. When I later took the puppy out, I discovered that the humidity had apparently dispersed the scent, or something, because I got hit with a massive wave of ICK. Puppy agreed, and proceeded to snort a fair bit. When I also discovered it had gotten on my hands, I washed them liberally, and all seemed to be well.
That is, until I went to take a shower. Apparently some had dried on my hands, and reconstituted when I got them wet again. Prompt me making an "AUGH" face in the middle of my shower at it returning.
All I have to say is, it sure works on humans. Let's see if it works on whatever is eating the beans.
