Response from Woodstream TeamJun 21, 2024
We are sorry to hear this! 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 animals 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. If you continue to be unhappy with your purchase, you may contact the original retailer for assistance with a refund.

Critter Ridder does not work. I spread it on among my vegetable plants. The next morning, I noticed that the chipmunks had a feast.

The canister was 1/2 full. Not good for the price the store charges.

This product settles during shipping (just like a bag of potato chips). The bottle is filled by weight rather than volume.

Do not waste your money on this.
I purchased this product, obviously hopeful it would work. I followed the application directions, etc. There is literally nothing about this product that works. It did not deter any of the rodents, animals, etc. They continue down the same paths they've always been on, standing directly on the applied "repellent". Save your money!

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. This product is a conditioning agent and it may take several encounters with the treated area for animals to learn they are not welcome. If you continue to be unhappy with your purchase, please feel free to contact the original retailer for assistance with a refund.
    Does not work!
    I bought this to help keep the prairie dogs from eating my lemon and orange trees, but, just like everything else I have tried, it did not work! The bottle came half full and didn't have much in it. Won't buy again.

      Critters Welcome if You Buy Thos Product
      Absolutely worst product. Between my neighbor and I we had 40. If I could upload her and my yard I would need no further explanation of how useless this product is

        Waste of time and money. Got this to deter cats. Within hours after putting it down they are all over the area that we applied it. Tried it a second time and same results.

          I used the entire container where I have chipmunks and they do not seemed bothered by it. I haven’t seen other small animals, but the chipmunks are still here.

          Not good, there's no effect after applying this product. Squirrels still roam around freely on the areas where this product was applied.

          Containers were half full. It seemed like I was paying for half the product.
