Just seems a little insane to me. I've lived rural all of my life - I don't try to deter anything and I have never had a problem with wildlife worthy of putting out deterrents to keep them at bay. In fact quite the opposite I enjoy and benefit from their presence - yep, even the ants. Good luck with your efforts though!
