Scat is a water-soluble powder that has been developed to help repel birds and animals from eating valuable fruit crops and ornamentals. Scat has a bitter taste that repels a wide variety of birdlife, domestic pets, rats, possums, and rabbits. It is not always 100% effective in every situation as all birds and animals react differently to environmental pressures. Not all animals respond immediately and persistence is necessary to ensure that re-training is successful. Scat is best applied in conjunction with other methods where ever possible. Providing an alternative source of food for the birds or animals will help protect the plants sprayed with Scat.
