Yea but invites small ones like foxes and rats and ahit they will dig around the plant in hopes of finding something under.and a hot fence i saw a deer jump 2 meters to get in.it got stuck after but...
Foxes don't usually dig where there is a blood smell unless it's a hole and they are tracking their hunt. Coyotes are more or so the ones to dig. And its not like thick pasty blood, it's diluted down in a sprayer and sprayed evenly around the ground, not just specifically around just the plant. As far as rats go. They literally can pop up at any point anywhere. Usually there's an infestation if your seeing rats in the country area of California. I lived in Orville right outside of Chico. Where I live now, I run a 5 ft cattle panel around each plant, then I run a hot wire about 2' up the 4' and one at 7'. They can clear 7' fences easily if they can see the other side clearly, so I use a bunch of trees that were skinny to make their jump not clear so they don't try to clear the fence. The cattle panel is for fawns. They are the ones to make it past the hot fence, just not tall enough to get past the cattle panel. The other things I have to deal with here are mountain beavers, opossums, moles. I had a mountain beaver knock a plant that had a four inch base stock. I didn't even know we had beavers in Washington till I seen his little fat ass going after tomatoes after thinking one of my neighbors didn't like me growing or something, it felt like sabotage. But I over thought it and found the culprit
