BonideRepels-All Animal Repellent Granules, 3 lbs. Ready-to-Use Deer & Rabbit Repellent, Deter Pests from Lawn & Garden

This stuff is da bomb! We live in a country setting and have lots of critters ( deer, raccoons, opossum, squirrel's ,rabbits etc…). They used to eat my flower beds as if it were their personal salad bar, but not anymore! This stuff works great! I used it last Summer (and now) and all my plants were safe from being eaten.I also like that it won’t hurt my cats/ dogs. I reapply about every 3-4 weeks (or after a hard rain) and my plants are flourishing.One happy gardener here

Really did hope this would work. I used the entire container on a lawn that is only 20x30 feet. So, that’s a lot of product on a fairly small lawn and then lightly watered the whole thing, as instructed... I’ve watched Mr. Raccoon come every night since. It doesn’t seem to bother him. He digs around in the lawn, eats some bugs and leaves. Oh well. No anger over it not working. It was worth a try. I was plenty warned by other reviews.

I have lots of plants in my balcony and the squirrels are a real nightmare. I tried this product and the first time it didn't work, as you can see in the picture. Then I realized I had to pour more, until my own eyes itch.After one week, more has to be added, it seems the smell fades away and then the squirrels come back. In other words, a lot has to be poured to keep the squirrels out.

This is a great product…I live where bunnies, skunks, jack rabbits, and deers also live and so far my plants this year are getting a chance to thrive. This was recommended by “Garden Answer” and I too highly recommend it. Put it around all my trees, flowers, etc to try and avoid the critters coming and having a dinner party!

I live in the country, and my freshly planted flower pots were getting disturbed at night. I set up a camera and saw it was a racoon. I ordered this product, and I dragged my flower pots into my garage each night until I got the product. The first night I applied this, I had a little trouble as the shaker part of the lid faced the handle. It made it hard to sprinkle it evenly and get it cleared off the top in order to close the lid. It had kind of a garlic smell, so I liked that it didn't smell toxic. The next morning, most of my flower pots were disturbed again. I thought maybe I didn't apply enough, so after fixing all of my pots again, I sprinkled the product on heavily. I even put it on the ground around the flower pots. The next morning, it looked like a crime scene! It was the worst night yet with all of my pots tipped over, the flowers set to the side, and the dirt dumped out of all of the pots! It was like this product enraged the coon and set him on a warpath! Discouraged, I redid all of my flower pots again. I put peppermint essential oil on a cotton ball in each of my flower pots, and this seemed to deter my coon. We'll see if that continues to work. So this product might work on your racoon, but it did nothing to deter my country coon! Maybe my coon loves the smell of garlic?? Anyway, you could always try the peppermint oil trick as well if this product doesn't work for you.

Alright, folks, buckle up because I'm about to tell you about the magical, critter-banishing unicorn dust known as Bonide Repels-All Animal Repellent Granules. If my backyard were a nightclub, these granules would be the bouncer, and let me tell you, they don’t let any uninvited guests past the velvet rope!For years, my garden was basically the salad bar at a wildlife rave party—squirrels, rabbits, chipmunks, you name it. If it was fluffy and had a pulse, it was chomping through my petunias like they were going out of style. Enter Repels-All, my knight in granular armor. One month down, and not a single bloody squirrel or its freeloading friends has dared to crash my garden gala.This stuff must be packing some sort of olfactory nightmare that sends these critters packing to therapy. The label says it irritates their nasal passages, and honestly, I imagine it’s like walking into a perfume store and getting blasted by every scent at once. Whatever’s in it, it triggers their "Oh heck no!" instincts.And the animals it repels? It’s like reading Noah’s Ark’s blacklist—squirrels, deer, rabbits, even that skunk that thought my backyard was his personal bachelor pad. Not anymore, Pepe Le Pew!Applying it around my fortress of solitude—aka my suburban homestead—was easier than convincing my dog that the vet isn’t a serial killer. Just sprinkle your magic critter-chasing dust around your gardens, garbage cans, and, unless you’re into live-action Disney movies, your bird feeders.Plus, the stuff is biodegradable! So not only am I keeping Bambi and Thumper out of my veggie patch, but I’m also not hurting the planet. Talk about an eco-friendly guilt-free solution!I’m planning my next sprinkle-down in two months, setting a reminder on my phone and everything. It’s like setting a date to renew an anti-critter restraining order. And believe me, with how peaceful my garden’s been, I might just throw a little sprinkle party with a side of barbecue.So, if you're tired of hosting the Animal Planet after-party in your backyard, get yourself a bag of Bonide Repels-All. It’s like telling all those furry freeloaders, "You SHALL NOT pass!" Go forth and protect your green kingdom, my fellow garden warriors!

We have many cats that cross the front of our house every night. We see them on Ring Cam and a Trail camera. One spot on the lawn is like a community toilet for these cats. They dd not change their habits with a liberal distribution of this product.

I’ve been using this product for a while. Seems to work . I live in a mfg home in Fla which is prone to critters under the house. I sprinkle around the house 1-2 times a month. So far, so good. I just had my underneath checked for leaks and critters by professional plumber. All good. Note: I wear gloves and a mask when I use. The product can be irritating to your skin and nostrils. I believe that’s why it works as it irrates the animals nose. Smells like hot peppers to me.
