## CPC

- A01M 29/12: using odoriferous substances, e.g. aromas, pheromones or chemical agents
- A01M 1/2038: {Holders or dispensers for pressurized insecticide, e.g. pressurized vessels, cans}

## Abstract

An animal scent composition contains animal generated scents and a visual indicator to allow visualization of scent travel and application. The scent may be used for repelling wild and domestic animals, for attracting game animals, and for masking the scent of humans. Dispersing means provide a pressurized aerosol canister with a dispersing nozzle axially aligned with the aerosol canister to prevent clogging of the nozzle by agglomerated visual indicator particles when the scent composition is dispersed.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A visible, aerosol dispersible scent composition that simulates a natural body scent of a first animal to induce behavior of a second animal containing an odiferous portion derived from glandular and alimentary excrement of an animal, an air supportable particulate visual indicator, a carrier and a preservative, the odiferous portion comprising from 4.6% to 14.6% by weight of the scent composition.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The composition of claim 1 wherein the preservative is isopropyl alcohol comprising 14.2% to 14.6% by weight of the scent composition.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The composition of claim 1 wherein the visual indicator comprises between 20% to 30% by weight of the composition and consists of:
0 to 30% weight percent of corn starch and
0 to 30% weight percent of diatomaceous earth.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The composition of claim 1 wherein the carrier is DYMEL® 134a/P comprising 41.2% to 51.2% by weight of the composition.

### Claim 5

A visible, aerosol dispersible scent composition that simulates a natural body scent of a first animal to induce behavior of a second animal containing an odiferous portion derived from glandular and alimentary excrement of an animal, an air supportable particulate visual indicator, a carrier and a preservative comprising in combination:
41.2% to 51.2% by weight “DYMEL”® 134a/P;
4.6% to 14.6% by weight animal body scent consisting of glandular and alimentary excrement;
20% to 30% by weight visual indicator consisting of 0 to 30% of each of air supportable particulate corn starch and diatomaceous earth; and
14.2% to 24.2% by weight isopropyl alcohol.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The animal scent composition of claim 5 wherein
the animal body scent is urine from a female animal in estrus.

### Claim 7 (depends on 5)

The animal scent composition of claim 5 wherein
the animal body scent is urine from large non-domesticated felines.

### Claim 8 (depends on 5)

A means for the dispersing animal scent of claim 5 comprising:
a pressurized aerosol canister
having a finger operable dispersing nozzle with an aperture opening oriented parallel to the axis of the pressurized aerosol canister of size sufficient to permit free passage of the scent composition and any contained agglomerated particulate visual indicator therethrough.
