A synthetic resin composition for forming an article, such as a container or bag for garbage, or electrical wiring insulation, which repels animals such as rodents, opossum, cats, dogs, and birds. The composition includes a thermoplastic polymer and from 10 to 15,000 ppm by weight of an odorant compound such as a salicylic acid ester, menthol, corn mint oil, eucalyptus oil, and camphor, and combinations thereof. The resin composition may comprise more than one thermoplastic polymer, polyethylene and ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymer being preferred first and second thermoplastic polymers, respectively. In a method for forming the synthetic resin composition, the compound is added to the second polymer in a ratio of about 1:2 parts by weight to form a master blend that then is added to an amount of the first polymer at a master blend percentage of about 1.5%.
