Abstract: The animal repellent canister is a chemical dispenser. The animal repellent canister is configured for use in driving away nuisance animals (hereinafter pests). The animal repellent canister stores and dispenses a repellent material known to repel pests. The animal repellent canister dispenses the repellent material in a gas phase. The animal repellent canister contains the repellent material in a water impermeable structure such that precipitation will not wash away the repellent material. The animal repellent canister comprises a dispenser, a ground anchor, and the repellent material. The dispenser contains the repellent material in a phase selected from the group consisting of a liquid phase and a solid phase. The dispenser releases the repellent material in a gas phase. The ground anchor anchors the dispenser to the ground such that the dispenser is elevated above the ground.

Abstract: A refillable animal repellent canister comprising a housing with a removable cap, a spike attached to the base for mounting the canister into the ground and vents to allow repellent fumes to escape said canister. A canister is refillable by removing a cap from the housing and said canister is weatherproofed with the cap on. A canister with the housing comprising an open top with an oversized cap secured to an interior center shaft standing above the rim of the housing to give an umbrella effect and comprise a singular vent. A housing comprising a closed top with a cap inserted slightly down into it, and the brim of said cap resting on the rim of the housing and said housing comprising a plurality of side vents elbowed downward to a forty five degree angle.

Abstract: The color-stability of disinfectant formulations comprising bacteriocidal quaternary amine compounds, a non-ionic surfactant, and water is enhanced significantly by adding color-stabilizing amounts of an alkali bicarbonate. An alkali bicarbonate can be used in lieu of the art-accepted EDTA/NaOH builder in quaternary amine-based disinfectant formulations to enhance color stability without sacrificing the bacteriocidal efficacy of the formulations.
