The effectiveness of repellent action of selected scent repellents available on the market in Poland against wild boars was tested in the experiments. The study was conducted in three populations of animals of different density and various degrees of human impact. The study areas were forage plots, separate areas of maize fields or the whole fields of corn. The results of the effectiveness of repellents against selected populations of wild boar in the forage plots showed that none of the products protected sufficiently for a long time due to a habit of constant feeding on corn at this particular site that animals developed over time. The experiments clearly show that in most cases the resistance of wild boar to tested repellents appears relatively quickly. The phenomenon is permanent and animals, which learn quickly, after a short period of time do not respond to the scent repellents. The results are similar for the different populations of tested animals. This indicates that the fast acquisition of resistance to scent repellents is a feature of wild boars.
