RODENT REPELLENT COMPOUNDS

Abstract

Polyethylene compounds and polyurethane concentrates containing recognized chemical repellents were developed. These materials can be extruded on cables using commercial equipment with minimum alteration. Damage to equipment due to corrosion should not occur when using recommended processing conditions. Based on previous experience with the repellent chemical and short term test installations, the resulting cable jacket should be an effective deterrent to damage by pocket gophers.
