I needed concentrated coyote urine, which works great to deter skunks from feeling at home under a porch, because they perceive the scent of a predator. So I went Ace Hardware Union Ave in Laconia. The men at the counter laughed as if I were joking. A female employee apologized for them and said the store must have some since it works so well to deter unwanted wildlife. But we couldn't find any on the shelf. She asked the man in charge if there was any in stock. He also laughed as if we were joking, in a really condescending way, and said "What do you want me to do, lady? Milk a coyote?"
On the other hand, Jeff at Gilford True Value Hardware took me right to the product on the shelf and explained that I should put some holes in small plastic containers and then fill the containers with cotton balls soaked in the scent. This would help the scent last longer. He was as helpful as they always are at Gilford Hardware. Personal attention, patience, and education.
And that is the difference in knowledge, experience, and customer service between Gilford True Value Hardware and Healh's...

These guys are true...
