In larger areas, how should hair bags be arranged?

• A. Hang several bags, 3 feet apart, from a fence or cord around the area
• B. Place bags at the corners only
• C. Scatter bags randomly on the ground
• D. Bury bags underground

Answer: (A)

Hair bags deter wildlife by releasing odors that create a boundary the animals avoid. In a larger area, the most effective setup is to stretch a perimeter and place several bags about 3 feet apart along that boundary, hanging from a fence or a cord. This creates a continuous scent barrier that approaching animals encounter regardless of direction. Placing bags only at the corners leaves gaps where pests can enter, and scattering bags on the ground makes the scent unreliable because wind can blow it away and the bags may be disturbed. Burying them underground would prevent the odor from escaping, defeating the deterrent.
