  • Patent number: 4944393
    Abstract: An animal repellent trash bag is set forth wherein a flexible bag includes a drawstring contained within a conduit defined by an overlapped layer developed about an uppermost edge of the bag. Adhesively secured to an interior surface of the bag is a tear-away strip overlying a quantity of animal repellent granules, wherein the granules are deposited interiorly of the bag upon removal of the tear strip to thwart animal tampering with the trash bag. A quantity of the granules are adhesively secured onto an interior surface of the bag to maintain the particles in orientatio medially of the bag. A modification provides the tear strip overlying the drawstring conduit wherein the granules are maintained within the drawstring conduit and upon removal of the peel-away layer a series of apertures are exposed to fit into the drawstring conduit to permit seeping of the granules overlying the contents positioned within the bag.
