Wildlife behavior can be influenced by the deployment of sensory cues in a landscape, but different vary strength and duration their effectiveness. We aimed to identify most effective cost-efficient countermeasures (sensory cues) deter wild boar (Sus scrofa) entry damage cornfields Hunchun, Jilin Province, China. These have experienced severe boars during critical 30-day period when this crop was ripening. From 2016 2021, were applied sequentially seeking control using either (1) visual deterrents, i.e., solar blinkers colors; (2) auditory playbacks Amur tiger (Panthera tigris altaica) calls, or wolf (Canis lupus) calls; (3) tactile electric fencing; (4) olfactory Adult feces; (5) various combined deterrents. first evaluated effectiveness these broad categories, then performed detailed analysis individual assess specific deterrence duration.
