LITITZ, Pa., Sept. 7, 2011 – Hear something rummaging through your garden? Wake up to find the trash cans knocked over, and trash all over the yard? Before consumers go searching in their gardens or backyards for pesky critters, they can search for solutions online at Havahart.com (http://www.havahart.com/). Havahart®, which manufactures caring animal-control products, has launched a new Critter Control Product Guide that helps consumers learn more about nuisance animal problems and how to control them.
Using the interactive guide, consumers search for a solution three ways: by animal, by trap or by repellent.
• Search by Animal: This tool is for consumers who know what nuisance animal is causing their problems. Clicking on a critter’s photo reveals the repellent and trap solutions specific to that animal. The guide includes more than 15 animals - raccoon, deer, skunk, squirrel, rabbit, mouse and more - many with informative audio and video links that help consumers learn important details about specific animals. For instance, raccoons are noted as one of the most difficult animals to control due to their curiosity and persistence.
• Search by Trap: This section allows consumers to browse Havahart live animal traps by size: extra small (mouse and vole, for example), small (rabbit, squirrel), medium (skunk, opossum), large (raccoon) and extra large (stray dog). For those not sure what size trap is needed, an illustrated list of animals appears below each size of trap. Explanatory videos are available for all traps.
• Search by Repellent: Here consumers can browse Havahart repellents by brand name:
o Critter Ridder® - a multi-species animal repellent that targets their sense of taste, smell and touch
o Deer Off® - powerful deer repellent formula that targets a deer’s sense of smell and taste
o Defence® - rain-resistant rabbit and deer repellent that boasts the highest concentration of scent deterrent on the market
o Spray Away® - infrared technology and water combine with this hi-tech device to protect from animals of all sizes
o Electronic repellents - works like an electric fence to give deer a mild, harmless static shock
“The Product Guide is designed so that our consumers can easily find a solution that’s best for their animal problem. If they think they know their nuisance animal but don’t know what the best solution is, we provide them with suggestions for that particular animal. If the consumer knows they want a trap, they can click to browse all traps, and same goes for repellents.” said Lauren Eyer, Category Development Associate for Havahart. “We wanted to create a more interactive way for people to learn about the solutions out there for their animal problem, and give them the opportunity to make a purchase that best fits their needs right from the same tool.”
Havahart’s Critter Control Product Guide is designed to help consumers easily find the best solution for their animal problem. It’s easily accessible from the Havahart.com home page, as well as through the site’s Trap Guide or Repellent Guide pages.
