Default Cheep Cure...

Bob can't hit the side of the barn with a rifle,that is why he has subbed out the job to his cats...anyway ..
If you want to keep critters off your property use Meekers Magic..
It is a fish based compost manufactured in the Manitoulin Islands and one of the unexpected by products of this compost is that it repels all kinds of critters.
Squirrels..skunks..raccoons hate it..slugs..rats..mice..Canada Geese..deer..cats and dogs..
We don't know why./.there are chemists now from Lambton University that are working on it now ,but it works..
I am in involved in a Goose repel project right now on Petrie Island in Ottawa,and we did a test patch of 75'X75' square ,cleaned completely free of goose poop..and the after we applied it the geese were waiting to feed on the grass where we set out the patch and we watched as the geese landed on the sand beach,walked onto the grass and started to feed..they continued to walk forward and feed until they came to the edge of the treated patch..and then the heads all came up..they turned left and right and worked their way around the square like it was an invisible fence //amazing to watch..
The city roads and grounds people had their maintenance person check the patch daily and the patch was almost completely free (95%) of goose poop..
I went back after two weeks and there was not a goose to be seen anywhere..and a month later..went back again and the same thing..and the patch is still free of goose poop..so it is quite possible that one patch has rid Petrie Island on Geese..
Not saying 100% sure but I haven't seen any sign of them since we laid down the patch..

Check out these links..

I can't sell it but if you want some in Ontario,Home Hardware handles and it OR can order.. if you want some PM me and I will give you the information to get it..
In Northern Ontario they stock it.
In Southern Ontario it is available from the warehouse,but it has to be requested at this time of year..Hopefully next year it will be in stock year round..but call your Local Home Hardware and ask for it by name..
Should be around $15.00 for a fourty litre bag +tax..

Default Cheap???

At 40 square feet per 40 litre bag (from their web site) it could get expensive covering Bob's "back 40" (acres).
Lets see....... 40 acres x 43560 sq.ft./acre x 1 bag/40 sq.ft. x $15.00/bag = $653,400 which sounds like an awful lot of CMP parts to me.
I think Bob will probably spend his money on CMP parts and keep the pussies, on the other hand he wouldn't mind if a few beavers swam away from the property, does anyone need a nice beaver fur hat?

Picky picky Grant..
You want all the critters from all over Hammond County to run away..??
Scatter a fourty liter bag around your vehicle and that should do it.
You are trying to keep the animals away from and out of your vehicles..that is where you use it,....and it is only sawdust and fish guts .,.but no smell..it has been heated and sterilized for three days so no smell.
It works..

With Rob's luck on the critters, he'd put a stripe around the HUP and every stinking critter from miles around would get inside the stripe and then be afraid to leave.

Good questions, Alex. I think that Saturday 30 October would do just fine. I will put out "feelers" to the Charter Members. Gunner is back in town for now - he will be heading back to Jamaica soon, tho'.

Ok my first question is the company listed on the stock exchange and do they want a distributor in the United States?

Listing a company can be pricey. The disclosure requirements for small businesses are more than some can manage. But funny enough penny mining companies that do little actual productive work always have a few stock-humpers who'll brag up 6 acres of Northern Ontario swamp as a prime gold ore body. The trout fish farm is probably a registered sole proprietor.

As long as the product has provincial agricultural and environmental department approvals, you might be able to get it across the border as the agricultural product it claims.
