To provide an animal repellent capable of sufficiently maintaining a repelling effect over a long period of time.

The animal repellent capable of preventing an animal such as a dog or cat from urinating and defecating by repelling the animal by smells includes a coating material having, as a main component, acrylic silicone, acrylic resin or fluorine resin, or an optional combination thereof. The repellent is applied to, for example, the surface of a lower part of a building, the surface of a concrete skeleton or wall A or a utility pole B, thereby the repelling effect can be sufficiently maintained over a long period of time.
