Animal Repellent - Repels Deer, Rabbits, Elk, Moose, Hares, Voles, Squirrels, Chipmunks and Other Herbivores; 3.5 LB Granular Shaker Jug (PS-VRD-3)

I think Plantskyyd is genius! It is ridiculously expensive for dried cow blood, but it doesn’t take much and it’s brilliantly effective against squirrels in my riverside town in northeastern Delaware. Squirrels treat my four 4’ x 4’ raised beds like their personal playgrounds! Like sandboxes! They dig holes all over them just for fun. They don’t bury nuts or seeds there. I check. For burying nuts and seeds, the squirrels prefer my flower beds or potted plants. In my raised beds, where there’s nice loose soil, they just like to play, to dig for fun – or sometimes for mischief. I’m certain it’s a game. Just before I started using Plantskyyd, I had this experience: I planted 8 small lettuce and kale plants in one raised bed. That night, squirrels dug big holes right next to 7 of those plants and then pulled up the 8th one and layed it on its side to die, as if to say “Look what we did? Now it’s your turn!” Next morning, after a little giggle over this, I bought Plantskyyd. I filled in the holes and watered the little plants, leveled off the soil in the bed, and sprinkled Plantskyyd over the surface. After that I never saw so much as a squirrel footprint in that raised bed! It was as good as a wire cage. My garden remains undisturbed by squirrels for months at a time UNLESS – and this sometimes does happen – I stir up the soil surface somehow, like by raking my hand over it, by digging out an old plant or putting in a new one, or even by pulling out a big old weed. Once the soil surface has been disturbed, I have to sprinkle Plantskyyd again, or the game’s back on and I’ll find little pointless holes dug in any area where the soil was overturned. Squirrels are not intimidated if the Plantskyyd has been dug into the garden soil. It must be on the surface. Just a sprinkle, not a pile. I sprinkle Plantskyyd after I scatter seeds, but if I go out later and thin the seeds, I sprinkle a little more. A squirrel can do a lot of damage to a sea of minuscule spinach sprouts. But once the garden surface is coated and the beds start filling out with vegetables, I don’t have to give squirrels another thought all summer. Even after rain. If I’ve still got crops growing in the fall, and see a hole-shaped message from a squirrel, I might give the area another sprinkle of Plantskyyd, but in the many years I’ve been using this product now, I’ve noticed that squirrels seem to lose interest in my raised beds once they’re cluttered with vegetable plants. I think they’ve got some other game on by then, somewhere else. It helps to have a garden layout and planting schedule worked out in advance. Put everything where you definitely want it to stay and grow and then sprinkle Plantskydd over the soil surface, not on the plants themselves. Though the directions tell you how often to reapply it, in my experience, if the soil surface remains undisturbed, Plantskyyd can work all summer. Admittedly, I have a single pest – just squirrels – so I cannot attest to how well Plantskyyd deters other animals. For me, it’s the perfect solution to my squirrel combatants. Nobody’s hurt, but I win. It allows me to grow the food I eat all spring, summer, and fall. That’s worth the price I pay for Plantskyyd.

My brother told me to buy this stuff that it worked great for him in keeping the critters out of his garden. He lives in town . However I live in Appalachian and we have a huge problem with Critters. When I used this product and I used a lot of it the next day I got up and looked out the window and there was actually more squirrels and chipmunks around my garden and bird feeder. I thought it was rather expensive it was a waste of money for me.

Got the product sprinkled the entire bottle around my grass and not. 30 min later rabbit was in the grass , I went around the entire fence and layed a nice layer down , just sprinkled money on the ground is how I feel not sure if needs to sink in the ground or water it , directions didn’t say to do any of that , hopes it just needs to settle in the ground but for now I feel waste of money if I see any change I will update my post but for now no stars and didn’t help just after 30 min of sprinkling on the ground the little rabbit came running in the yard like it was almost inviting to them to come in , we also sprinkled around our hay barn rabbits love to come in and eat the hay and of course make their droppings all of over the hay it’s so nasty I’m guessing it doesn’t work for rabbits in our area I read reviews on so many products before I purchased this one and this one had good reviews said it was expensive but it worked so figured if it works who cares how much you spend right but not the case here again if things change I will make a note to update because reviews I feel are so important especially since we all spend so much time buying things online now and everything is so pricey these days

Have found this to be fairly effective in my flower gardens in keeping deer from nibbling as long as I apply it early in season and reapply every few weeks or so.

Good price!

I have a rabbit problem in a suburban neighborhood. Theyre everywhere. And I can’t fence in everything. I planted a pumpkin plant unprotected last year and sprinkled this stuff around it. I gave the plant two days to be eaten. It never happened. Plant grew full maturity.

Any Plantskydd product - liquid or granular - is the most effective deer and critter repellent I have ever used! Well worth the price. One application in the spring will protect all summer, rain and shine. Another application in the fall will keep the deer from stripping tender bushes.

Maybe it works for deer but did nothing to repel my neighbors goat that they refused to fence in.
