Baekground of the In~ention The destruction of bushes, shrubs, and trees in residential areas, nurseries, tree farms, refores~ation products, woods, and forests is an epidemic problem of significant magnitude. The economic losses resulting from chewing, grazing and feeding by animals is a world-wide problem resulting in annual losses of millions of dollars.
Furthermore, when destruction occurs in residential areas, nurseries, woods and forests, there is an aesthetic value which i~ lost, as well.
Thus, there is a need for a p:roduct which is economical ; to use, and prevents the chewing and grazing of woody articles by animals. There is a further need for a product ; which may be applied to materials which are misappropriated ~20 by animals for nests, bedding, etc.
In order to be an effective deterrent to animals, the composition must have a foul taste which deters chewing or gnawing of the wood or other material. The foul-tasting composition must also be contained in a binder which easily adheres to woody products, resists evaporation in hot and , ,.~" ... .

The composition generally comprises a latex, a bitter or foul tasting compound, and optionally surfactants, anti-foaming agents, dispersing agents, thixotropes t wetting agents or other constituents depending on th~ intended application.
The coating composition generally comprises an effective amount of a latex comprising about 1-60% solids and an effective amount of denatonium benzoate. Typically, the coating composition comprises about 1-30 wt%, preferably 3-20 wt% of a 0.05~ water base solution of denatonium ~enzoate, with the remainder of the composition ~' being latex and water.

The dispersed, discontinuous or internal phase is the liquid that is broken up into globules. ~he surrounding liquid i~ known as a continuous or external phase.
~; Emulsions can be thin or thick fluids, paste or gels.
The viscosity may be increased by adding thickeners or gelling agents that are compatible with the emulsifier.

2 ~ 8 ether~ of alkyl phenols or long chain fatty alcohols. The alkoxylated alkyl phenols or the alkoxylated fatty alcohols can contain from about 3 to about 40 moles of the alkylene oxide, or mixtures thereof, in combination with one mole of the alkyl phenol or fatty alcohol. Preferably, an ethylene oxide surfactant, available under the trade name Igepal RC-520 and commercially available from Rhone-Poulenc is used.
However other surfactants are useful with the present - invention.

., Dis~ersing aqents Optionally, the composition of the present invention may also contain a dispersing agent dispersed as an element of the solid phase or dissolved dispersed as an elemen~ of the liquid phase. The dispersing agent functions to efficiently disperse the denatonium benzoate of the present invention within the latex. The dispersing agen~ may also be used to lower surface tension and modify rheology within the system providing a composition which may be applied easily to the intended substrates.
Solid and liquid dispersing agents which are exemplary .

of those useful in the present invention includes those film forming agents having a dispersing character disclosed as useful in the coating composition of the present invention. Useful dispersing agents include colloidal compositions such as casein, soybean protein, cellulosic compositions such as carboxymethyl cellulose, carboxymethyl starch and hydroxy ethyl starch; silicatesl such as sodium ortho silicate, sodium metasilicate, sodium methyl silicate, and sodium disilicate.
10In the coating composition of the present invention, the concentration of the dispersing agent may vary from 0 wt-% to 5 wt-%, preferably from .5 to 4 wt-%, and most preferably from 1 to 3 wt-%.
