</ref> The farmers in the area were often worried on the attack by Elephants straying into his farm during summers in search of Paddy, Ragi, Mangoes and Water. Forest department suggested farmers, to use bees and beehive boxes to repel elephants. Even the [[Indian Railways|Railways]] use the same method to get away from Elephant attacks. But the method backfired since it attracted hordes of sloth bears who destroyed the beehive boxes, which eventually cleared the way for elephants to attack. The farm owners were desperate to look for an alternate action and Stray dogs were compelled to watch over the farm plots and wind chimes from Bottles were also used to avoid Animal intervention. Bonfires, chain of CDs / DVDs off which solar powered flashlights to reflect light, Chilli plants, Ponds with ducks and fishes to make the water stink, Electric Fencing were the other methods used by Farmhouse owners to keep elephants away.<ref>
