Brand Critter Ridder Animal Repellent Granules - 2 LB Granules for Organic Pest Control - OMRI Listed for Organic Use - 5926 - Easy to Spread, Protect up to 120 Sq Ft - Repel with Scent & Taste

Absolutely not worth it, followed instructions to the T and it was like I did nothing at all. Did not affect my dog or squirrels one bit. I would not recommend this product to my enemies.

Well this was a huge waste of money. Followed instructions completely and it was 100% INeffective. Our dog is 10 years and her yard is well seasoned. Additionally, we have a racoon that is eating our fish in the small pond we have and the product was not a deterrent to the racoon whatsoever.

I love that I was asked to rate "flavor" on this- ha ha ha! I live near a park and people love to walk their dogs down my street on the way to said park. I sprinkle this on my lawn closest to the sidewalk. I don't see much "action" from dogs on my lawn, so I suppose it's working. The downside is that even when I only use a little, it seems to go pretty quickly (and it's pricey, IMHO). Plus, I have to reapply after a couple of waterings. NOTE: This product is no joke! This stuff is spicy hot, so do NOT let the wind kick it back on you when you're sprinkling it. Keep it off your hands and wash up if you get it on you.

I purchased this after making a small garden in my backyard. The nice soft garden soil and mulch turned out to be an attractive place for a local feral cat to use as a litterbox. I like the cat, but needed to discourage using the garden as a bathroom, so I purchased this product. On the first day I cleaned up the cat waste and sprinkled some Critter Ridder around the garden, but the next morning the cat had again provided some free fertilizer. That day I cleaned up again and sprinked it heavily around and in the garden and that seems to have done the trick - it's been over two weeks without any issues even though we see that cat just about daily. This is a bottle of a flaky material with a very strong pepper smell. It seems like it would work well over surfaces that won't get disturbed (such that the flakes don't get buried), and the instructions say it will need to be re-applied after rain. Gloves are recommended for manual spreading and I wouldn't want to spread it on a windy day.

I bought 3 of these canisters to help keep the neighbor's cats away from my new astroturf lawn. It only worked for 1 day. Afterwards, the cat kept coming back to poop on my lawn despite reapplying new repellent over and over. I also think I got used products because there was no seal on these and all 3 cannisters were only half full. Waste of money.

Okay…so earlier this week I spent several hours deep in reviews of products on Amazon to get rid of whatever animal is living under my porch. Raccoons were suspected but I thought it could be opossum or groundhog since I’ve seen all of them in my yard. I happened upon this product and the review that talked about shaking the bottle down the chimney and the mother left with her babies sold me. Added to cart. But how was I to know when said anima vacated and it was safe to board up the hole I’ve been dealing with for years not knowing when I would be trapping an animal under to perish? Added a $40 security camera to cart. Items arrived and I waited for Friday night stakeout. Around 7:30pm I doused this product liberally into the opening and around it. At 8:25 a motion alert on the security camera went off. Raccoon was identified and it seems be be turned off on what was sprinkled around. (Noticeable scent of pepper to me). I don’t know if it was coming back or came out due to the substance. By 9:44pm the mama raccoon was leaving with her two babies. I quickly jumped to action and blocked the hole. But one of the babies followed me back in the house and I screamed and had my daughters sleep over terrified of the intruders. It found its way back out quickly when I opened the door. Sleep over never to forget. This is a tue story. I don’t know if the repellent is the star of the show here or the security camera and they were already going out for the night foraging but I would buy this and do the exact same thing again. Hopeful the groundhog under the shed gets the memo and moves out too since I splinkled it al over.

I had really high hopes for this product based on the reviews, but I have a very serious problem with cats getting into my car from underneath and then basically hiding under the hood, etc, and these are part of a cat colony that I am TNR-ing and they trust me, so I guess they think they can trust my car. Are used up the whole canister sprinkling the granules all around my car exterior right at the side of the wheels and I got up this morning and the first thing I see are the kittens coming out from underneath the car yet again walking right across the granules without a single problem. They’ve been back-and-forth across it a bunch of times and it does not have any effect on them. They don’t seem bothered by the smell at all and now I do not know what to do. I feel like I wasted $24.99 and money is insanely tight right now so that’s not cool, and I still have a problem. I thought about attempting to get a refund, but I don’t know how I would do that since I don’t even have the canister since the trash picked up last night and I don’t have any product left.

I’ve used this for years. Don’t know if they changed formula or something. Used to help. Might work for mice or chipmunks? Does *not* work to repel rats.
