Worked for 3 weeks.
I was really hoping that this solved my problem with cats pooping in my flowerbed. Well it didn’t work, didn’t even work for 2 weeks

Thank you for this feedback. Critter Ridder® is a conditioning agent and not an instant repellent. It works over time and multiple exposures to the product to teach animals to stay away from the treated area. Each encounter with the product will irritate the animal's nose, mouth, and paws. Over time, the animal will learn to associate this unpleasant feeling with the area in which it was applied. If an animal has been coming to that area habitually, it may take longer for them to be repelled. This product has a return period. We recommend reaching out to your local retailer for assistance with a return if you are not satisfied.

DONT BUY
Complete waste of money. I sprayed my entire deck and they are still here every single evening.

Waste of $22.97, does not work.
The raccoon that digs up my newly planted flowers cannot read the label so she did not know that the Critter Ridder was supposed to deter her. I sprinkled the whole bottle in a 4'x12' flower bed and she walked right through it. She even stopped to dig a hole and play with some hand-painted rocks. $22.97 plus tax down the drain. DO NOT BUY!

Cat trespassing
Sprinkled it on the sidewalk leading to my home, but two cats walked theough it and my ring door bell notified me and took video. Unsure why they walk to my front door then walk back. Will sprinkle more granules today, but then I think about a slipping hazard.

Critter Ridder Not worth it
This stuff meant NOTHING to these FIVE cats that keep coming in my yard! I put it down in the front garden and along the fence. Then when checking the camera videos, I watched 2 of them the first night walk through it like nothing was there to deter them. Do not your money on this.

Dont buy this product
Applied to raised garden bed to keep cats from using it as a litter box. The same night and next morning the cats were in the garden. You’d be better off buying something else because this simply is a waste of money.

This stuff really works. Had squirrels eating flowers and neighbors cats constantly in my yard. Put this down and no more squirrels or cats for two weeks. Will see if it lives up to the 30 day timeline. So far this is a life saver.
