Sometimes, you need to keep certain people out of an area, maybe helping your Masquerade by forcing Muggles away, or you need one person to leave for some reason, or perhaps you want your own personal zone of privacy. So you use your magic, psychology, or perhaps some really Mundane Solution to get that privacy. The requirement of signals to create Sexiled situations, means that Sexiled is a Sub-Trope of this, of the usually mundane variety. This may be how Weirdness Censors work, and may be caused by a Perception Filter, with the affected area being a kind of Forbidden Zone. Or, in video games, this might be how Encounter Repellant works, by literally being repellant, and not to be confused with Area of Effect. And for all media, Supernatural Repellent overlaps with this trope if used to create such an effect. May sometimes overlap with Brown Note if the method used involves some kind of sensory input. |

Divinity: Original Sin II: The Nameless Isle that holds the Wellspring of Divinity can normally only be located by those chosen as Godwoken by a deity. By the time of the game, the Gods have been weakened enough to break the Isle's protections. | |

In Monster Hunter, the presence of an elder dragon is enough to cause all other monsters and wildlife in an area to flee or go into hiding. This is due to elder dragons being extremely powerful and capable of inflicting curbstomp battles on any normal monsters they encounter. | |

The Lord Darcy books have such magic. For example, in Too Many Magicians, a murder scene has a spell cast over it to stop people from wanting to enter it. A spell for Perception Filter type invisibility is explicitly stated to be similar in nature. | |

The Dresden Files: A small island in Lake Michigan inspires escalating dread and horror in people approaching it, and was written off the maps when its one small colony collectively went insane from exposure to its aura. It turns out to host a profoundly antisocial Genius Loci and an Extranormal Prison for entities so horrible that their presence creates a Ley Line of overwhelming dark power. | |

The 5th Edition Hallow spell creates Holy or Unholy Ground where Celestials, Fiends, Elementals, Fey, and/or Undead cannot enter, at the spellcaster's discretion. |

How Murray Saved Christmas: The Christmas Special takes place in a town near the North Pole where all the holiday mascots, Santa Claus included, live. The name of the town? Stinky Cigars. The narrator implies that its unsavory name was chosen to keep nosy Muggles away. | |

The Wheel of Time: The One Power can be used to "ward" an area so that specific types of creature can't enter. However, powerful wards can be sensed by Shadowspawn from miles away, so channelers usually stick to setting perimeter alarms for their campsites when traveling and save the stronger effects for warding their homes against rats and vermin. | |

One issue of Thessaly: Witch for Hire sees Thessaly cast a spell on a coffee shop that causes every normal person inside to want to abruptly leave - even the staff and the owner - enabling Thessaly to be alone with the demon she's been hired to kill. Considering that he's a particularly fat demon, and she has to cut all 400 pounds of him into pieces small enough to shove into a very small jar, she needed a lot of time with no witnesses around. | |

In Minecraft various elements can keep certain mobs away to grant you safety. Cats keep Creepers or Phantoms from even approaching. Skeletons avoid Wolves which will hunt them down. Soul Torches and Soul Campfires scare away Piglins, and Warped Fungus cause even aggressive Hoglins to back away. | |

Metroid often uses "hazard" rooms for the purpose of restricting access to certain areas. These are rooms that will continually damage Samus as long as she is inside of them, and many are too large to rush through before she dies. The player is supposed to avoid these rooms until they acquire the Varia Suit upgrade to negate the damage. | |
