The Forest Department has started spraying a bio-repellent to keep houses safe from wild elephants that make damages while searching for easy food like rice.
Manambolly forest range officer A. Manikandan said the Department had been using a bio-repellent namely ‘Bio Don’ for the past one month.
“We are seeing good results as elephants hesitate to approach places where the repellent has been sprayed. As it is a bio-repellent, there is no damage to elephants,” he said.
