Abstract
Disclosed is a composition for repelling pests (e.g. insects and birds) from an animal carcass. This pest repelling composition contains a repellant (e.g. pepper extract) in admixture with a fluid vehicle, such as a light cooking oil. The repellant is present in a sufficient concentration to repel a pest when it contacts the animal carcass to which the composition has been applied. The composition may also include salt to help preserve the animal. The composition is applied to the exterior of the carcass. Repeated applications may be performed. The invention also includes a process for making the pest repelling composition.
