"Additive" to make a scent last??

[leroyd92]

Probably up there on the weirderer list of questions, but I figured this would be the best place to ask. There's got to be some mad chemist on here who has an idea

My friends and I are trying to draw feral pigs into an area where we bait for them. I built a sprayer for covering bushes and the ground with whatever smelly concoction we come up with.

I was curious if there was some sort of soluble oil or something that dissolves that I could mix up with the liquid to encourage the smell to stay on whatever I spray it to.

DMSO?

Oh , that kind of " sent " .

With pesticides, we use an additive called "spreader-sticker": "A spreader sticker is an additive that boosts the performance of a chemical control or fertilizer. It helps pesticides spread onto plants easier and stick to them longer."

Not knowing what your scent is, it's tough to know if a spreader sticker would work.

Sorry, should have mentioned that.

Sour corn brine. ( Water, sugar, yeast , corn ) This is the constant.

We are playing with fruit punch, fermented juices, Fish attractant.

Feral pigs are pretty smelly on their own and taste bad.

Mineral oil?

Juvenile sows taste ok.

Mineral oil?

Yes I would start with a cheap oil but corn oil maybe

 

[leroyd92]

Will mineral oil or cooking oils homogenize with the water based liquids?

Doesn’t really need to as long as some of the stench is oil soluble- in fact maybe you don’t a homogeneous solution
