"Elctronic Pest Control"

It's safe and effective and keeps raccoons, skunks, posseums, birds, and unwanted animals out of your yard or area you desire to protect. It's a wireless device, with a ultrasonic deterrent system, that keeps animals away. It's triggered by a motion sensor, and has a 45 ft. detection that is constantly emitting a sudden burst of noise (23,000HZ), which gets animals attention and they stay at a safe distance. Humans can't hear it, but it's uncomfortable to animals. We used this method to keep our dogs in our back yard which wasn't fenced.

Critter-Repellant.Com/"Shake Away"

This will keep Raccoons away. It's a 100% organic safe repellant. As we know raccoons are active at night and goes through garbage and looks for places to nest for the night. This product is a strong granular of coyote's urine, that you shake on areas you want to protect from raccoons. The Coyote's urine scares the raccoon because they're rivals. The scent marks the area like coyote's do and keeps raccoons away. It's safe and effective.

And here is poor little me who is scared to death of spiders and for some bizarre reason pidgeons.

Triffids are giant carnivorous plants that can move around. (See Attack of the Triffids - old sci fi horror film from same genre as the Blob). When I lived in New Jersey, there was a sign announcing "Caution, Large Plant Crossing", and someone had added, "watch out for triffids". (oh, the things that still take up valuable brain space!)

Am I the only person who has heard of the classic horror/ sci-fi film and book, "Day of the triffids"?
Triffids are giant carnivorous plants that prey on human beings, specifically clients who turn out to be guilty and don't pay up.

I saw part of the movie as a kid. I have been scared of Amarillus plants/flower for some reason ever sense. I was so darn scared, they made this eerie noise too.

Jstkdn, you need not worry now. The only surviving triffids now live Behind Closed Doors.

Clever of you Lady Grey to have trained them to specifically target none paying guilty clients. I'm with jstkdn on this I was pretty well looking at ever tall plant with suspision after I read the book.

Oh yeah, I know now. Though I didn't see the old sci fi movie, I recently solved a Nancy Drew game called: "Curse of the Blackmoor Manor", and while downstairs looking for clues in the planetarium, I saw this letter beneath a tall looking plant that looked somewhat like a clam with sharp teeth around the edges. I proceeded to remove the paper when the plant started attacking my hand and making this loud slapping noise on the table. It scared the bajeevees out of me and made my heart skip a beat or two..lol. It took awhile to figure out on how to remove the paper without being hit, but finally I took it a piece of my left over turkey, which it ate and allowed me to take it. Wow, this was my first encounter with this type of plant. I sure wouldn't want to go near one in real life...lol. Actually when you mention triffids, I thought at first this was the name of your pet, and perhaps a snake. Anyway, thanks ladies.
