  • Publication number: 20170208821
    Abstract: A bear repellent composition and method of making the same. The bear repellent composition includes onions that have been frozen, subsequently thawed, and allowed to rot for an extended period, such that the onions liquefy. A method of making the bear repellent composition includes inserting a plurality of onions into a first container, maintaining the first container at a temperature of less than zero degrees Celsius for at least seventy-two hours, thawing the frozen onions and transferring them to a second container, shaking the second container until the contents are liquefied, and transferring the contents to third container for four to six months, and subsequently agitating the third container for a half hour once every three or four days. The composition can then be left outside, or may be placed in a spray bottle and sprayed outside to deter bears.
