Animal Stopper 073095, 32 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Messina Wildlife SQ-U-016 Squirrel Stopper 32-Ounce Trigger Bottle, Organic

So I have an acrylic bird feeder that attaches via suction cup to my kitchen window. For a while the squirrels weren't able to access it as it was 6ft off the ground and not in proximity to any trees of close or equal height. But they are a crafty bunch, the squirrels, and I won't deny it...they can adapt to many situations. They now have proven to be astonishing jumpers, not unlike the Velociraptor in its heyday.The squirrels get up onto a small plant that brings them 2ft closer to the feeder, then proceed to launch themselves vertically in such a way as to make Elon Musk proud. Their accuracy in the launch leaves something to be desired, so they do not always hit the sweet spot of the feeder window-but as I said before, they can adapt. Sufficed to say, their launches are getting better. The birds have noticed. My kids have noticed. And their increased weight and size due to the seemingly unlimited supply of birdseed has not gone unnoticed.So here I found myself, and this product, with a rejuvenated sense of hope for the winter fliers, only to be left disappointed and frustrated by a small-sized critter of enormously-sized annoyance. I applied the spray as directed in copious amounts around the ground and even on top of and underneath the feeder, and when the first application failed, I applied it directly to the birdseed as an all or nothing gambit. You'd think the sweet peppermint smelling spray enhanced the taste of the birdseed in the same fashion spices might enhance the flavor of items prepared in a master chef's kitchen. The squirrels spent more time than ever on the bird feeder, hoarding their score with sheer disregard of thwarting attempts and sinister gluttony that Dante would write about. I daresay I even caught a few smug stares from the furry vermin as he chomped away at my not inexpensive birdseed.I find myself invigorated with wrath at this point, and will most likely end up sacrificing my place in heaven if it means I defeat this nesting nemesis. That being said, this spray fails to live up to its name, and I cannot recommend its place in the preventative spray sections of any vendor, be it online or elsewhere, as method to curb a squirrels insane ambition for nutritional procurement.

This product really works!

I was so hopeful for this product as it seemed like a solution in a bottle for the chipmunks and squirrels, who were digging all of my landscaping beds up. After receiving the product and gertting ready to use it the spray nozzle would not work. I had to contact the company who graciously mailed me two new sprayheads quickly and for free. The application of the product was difficult because the solution has a white milky film in it, which clogs the spray nozzle every 2 to 3 squirts. I wound up, transferring the solution into a industrial sprayer to actually use the full bottle. Unfortunately, the digging activities seem to increase after I sprayed the areas with the most traffic and damage by these critters. I do not know if it was just ironic timing or if it incited them to dig more. Amazon would not allow me to return the bottle or get a refund and suggested I contact the manufacturer directly. By time I contacted them many weeks went by as I was concentrating my efforts on protecting my landscaping instead of getting my $10 back. It was worth a try, but it was not successful for me. I wish anyone purchasing this product more success.

I was pretty skeptical that this would work. The squirrels have been out of control in my yard for a long time. They deposit fleas in the lawn on their way up and down the trees to roof causing months of flea infested misery that would get tracked into the house. Also, they’d bang and thump on the roof all bloody day long sounding like construction work, and they’d taunt my dog. I had tried DIY peppermint oil sprays with no success, so I didn’t expect this to work, but low and behold, I sprayed a MODERATE AMOUNT of this on the trunks of the trees and on the branches that I could reach without getting it splashed back on me and…NO SQUIRRELS FOR 3 DAYS NOW. I’m shocked. Even if I have to reapply once a week, it seems like a pretty good deal seeing that I only used about 1/20 of the bottle. I’ll update my rating here as time goes on, but I am super relieved so far.UPDATE:The second bottle I bought was an absolute disaster. The egg product formed ribbons in the bottle and clogged the spray. It was a MESS to sort out.

Bought this to keep the squirrels from eating my trailer lights. It works pretty good as long as it doesn't rain and then you have to reapply.

It works. Our miniature plum has a full head of blooms this year. The squirrels didn't eat all the buds. Same for several flowering bushes.

Shook bottle vigorously before using, sprayed well then sprayer clogged. Poured into new spray bottle, continued shaking solution vigorously. Clogged the new bottle’s spray mechanism. Going to pour out and buy spearmint spray. Complete waste of money.

I was very disappointed with the product. It is supposed repel for 30 days. I sprayed on and around my bird feeders and it kept the squirrels away for less than 24 hours. I thought maybe I had not sprayed well enough, so I sprayed again, actually the spray was running down the feeder. Before the end of the day, squirrels were on the feeders eating my bird seed.
