Unfort- unately, their effect Is of short duration and continued spraying or dusting must be done to keep the dogs away. The best repellent is one made of stiff wire, such as is used in coat hangars. File one end to point. make a right angle bend so that the point sticks out from the tree, and put the other end in the ground. A half-dozen of these placed about the evergreen should do the trick,
