I’ve heard that man piss keeps a lot of animals away. The testosterone in it wards off many animals, including predators if you have chickens (I did last year, first my dog killed some, then a bear killed all, presumably a bear. Going with Guinea Hens this spring instead)
No neighbors to speak of here, I will start peeing out there and hope it works, I am most concerned with protecting my apple seedlings I am going to start shortly, previous years fruit trees get eaten.
The pee warding off predators is literally about testosterone, it carries through in the piss and scares off certain predators supposedly, female pee isn’t supposed to work. It’s not my fact I’ve multiple sources telling me that, from Bear Gryllis on the discovery channel, to elsewhere. So I don’t know the accuracy but it is not disputed anywhere I’ve seen yet but accepted and verified.
Not sure about predators, but I believe that the reason it works with herbivorous mammals like deer is because they can smell a human scent and don’t stop to snack there since they think there might be a human nearby.
See I’ve heard the opposite, at least for deer. Deer seek out salts since they grow antlers every year which takes a ton of calcium, so peeing on trees makes them target the bark where you’ve peed. Not totally sure tho
Oh yeah, I had only heard that predators were scared off by the testosterone, but yeah herbivores are salt starved they would try and lick a mountain lion’s balls if it was salty in a no salt area like I am here. Probably best not doing it at all.

I’m not a man. Nothing to do with testosterone.
