  • Garden pest control device
    Patent number: 6192621
    Abstract: A pest control device is provided for deterring or attracting creatures which feed on vegetables, fruits and flowers grown by farmers and gardeners. The device includes a base portion within which an odorous substance is disposed. The odorous substance is selected to either deter or attract pests and insects. A cap portion is removably securable to the base portion and covers the base portion to prevent the gravitational accumulation of rainwater therein. An unsealed region between the base portion and the cap portion allows odors from the odorous substance within the base portion to flow into the ambient environment.
