What scares monkeys?

People who live in the places where monkeys are located need to get rid of them or keep them away from their homes without causing harm to them, by intimidating them so that they will not return again, especially in agricultural areas where monkeys eat their crops, and the monkey is afraid of several things that make him run away and avoid approaching, which are as follows:

1 - The monkey is afraid of directing the stick or spraying it with a water hose, so some people resort to using a strong water gun or garden hose to drive away the monkeys.

2 - Monkeys move away when they see stray dogs and large cats, especially when hearing their sounds. A dog or cat can be acquired to get rid of monkeys.

3 - The monkeys are afraid of those who chase and catch up with them when they approach, and that is a warning to them that these possessions are not easy and available.

4 - Monkeys are disturbed by loud noises and loud sounds, so firing shots or firecrackers causes them to frighten and flee, and some distribute loudspeakers around their homes or agricultural lands to annoy the monkeys with loud sounds and prevent them from approaching.

5 - Monkeys are often exposed to snake bites, as they are very afraid of them, and when spreading rubber snakes around the place, the monkeys will not approach, with the need to be careful to change their place constantly, as monkeys are intelligent beings capable of discovering this trick if it is not applied correctly.
