Porcupines are eating the plywood at the cabin, what can I do to stop this?
There are two products you can employ to deter this behavior. If you review our PORCUPINE CONTROL ARTICLE, you'll read about ROPEL and NON DRYING GLUE. Both are repellents. The Ropel is a bad tasting agent that can be sprayed all over the wood. It will dry invisible and if applied heavy enough, stop them from desiring the wood.

We have been looking for help, and came across your website.
We have a house in the woods in the Catskills of New York, and it is being eaten by porcupines. They have been eating the Anderson doors, so we covered them with stained plywood, and they eat that. They are eating out outhouse. They are eating They have eaten parts of our cars, and much more.
How effective is the Ropel spray?
Is there any problem with spraying it onto a newly stained log cabin?
Two porcupines showed up on Saturday night – one was eating the outhouse, and the other was eating the plywood covering the doors.
We would appreciate any help you can give us. This problem is making us sick.
We imagine that there are many, many porcupines. There are ledges behind us and even an old unused quarry.
Is there any health problem, or problem caused by using the spray? What is it made of?
Please let us know. Thank you in advance.
