Repela is a unique solution for deterring animals from chewing compounded materials, such as electric and fiber optic cables, plastic pipes, foam insulation, and many other materials. The work that lead to the creation of Repela was first done by the USDA and released in whitepapers in 1999 and 2000. Aversion Technologies took these great ideas and created a manageable product. The USDA worked with two powders that are very fine and extremely aversive - denatonium benzoate and capsaicinoids. Both of these powders can be difficult to handle, but Aversion Technologies` Repela minimizes those handling issues by putting the powders into a carrier that matches the customer`s requirements.

Colocynth, commonly known as `bitter apple` in the Middle East, is the fruit of a vine which grows in dry, sandy soil. The lemon-size fruit is a cousin to the watermelon. Colocynth grows from the eastern Mediterranean and North Africa to India. Colocynth is an extremely bitter substance. Aversion Technologies` colocynth is extracted from the flesh of the colocynth fruit. The skin of the fruit, the roots and the stems are discarded, making this the most pure and potent available.

Denatonium benzoate is one of the most bitter substances known. Just a few parts per million will make a product so bitter that children and pets will not be able to swallow it. Denatonium benzoate makes sweet but highly toxic products such as antifreeze and detergents taste foul. Research shows that people can detect denatonium benzoate in water at 50 parts per billion. Denatonium benzoate is bitter at 1 to 10 ppm and most products will become undrinkable at 30 to 100 ppm. Denatonium benzoate is also stable and inert. In addition, so little is needed that the properties of the product remain unchanged.

Denatonium saccharide is possibly the most bitter substances known. Just a few parts per million will make a product so bitter that children and pets will not be able to swallow it. Denatonium saccharide makes sweet but highly toxic products such as antifreeze and detergents taste foul. Research shows that people can detect denatonium saccharide in water at 50 parts per billion. Denatonium saccharide is bitter at 1 to 10 ppm and most products will become undrinkable at 30 to 100 ppm. Denatonium saccharide is also stable and inert. In addition, so little is needed that the properties of the product remain unchanged.

This is the most spicy-hot substance known to man. Capsaicin is the `gold-standard` for hotness. The tiniest amount will make your product fiery hot. How hot? Take a look at this Scoville scale to see the relative degrees of `hotness`. This is the substance that causes the burning feeling in the mouth or nose (any contact with mucous membranes) and it also increases secretion of gastric juice. Capsaicin comes in two forms – natural, which is made from hot peppers, and synthetic, which is produced in a laboratory. The efficacy of the two forms appears to be identical.
