Nelson Deter-it™ Animal Deterrent is a highly effective kinetic energy projectile that is in use by a large number of local, state, and federal agencies throughout North America for animal control. Deter-it is designed to deliver approximately 17 ft/lbs of kinetic energy to an animal and compel deterrence of undesired behavior and compliance without penetration or other serious injury. The gelatin projectiles contain a proprietary dense, non-toxic, environmentally friendly liquid.
Nelson Deter-it™ Animal Deterrent has proven effective on coyotes, wolves, bear, and humans, chasing them from areas where they are not wanted, as well as deterring other undesired behavior. Deter-it is far less expensive than other animal deterrent projectiles, such as rubber shotgun slugs, cracker rounds, rubber buckshot, or pepperball-type projectiles.
Several US National Parks use Nelson Deter-it™ Animal Deterrent as their primary animal control system. According to our government agency customers, the paintball gun Deter-it™ is fired from presents a softer public image than firearms. Agencies also enjoy Deter-it™ because it can be used in much closer proximity to people during quiet hours because of the paintball gun's softer noise signature. It is also being used as the main platform for black bear control in one of the larger Provinces in Canada.

I'm very happy with the performance with the deter-it rounds for hazing animals. We use them on bears and coyotes that frequent roads public areas in our park. My only critique is that I wish they would not break so easily at close range. Within 20 yards they often break on animals. If they they had a higher bursting strength, they would likely be more effective in delivering a pain stimulus to the animal.
