Customer Reviews for Havahart Critter Ridder II Outdoor Natural Animal Repellent Spray for Moles, Deer, Cats, Dogs, Rabbits, Skunks, and Other Rodents

$15 at Home Depot and the product is worthless. Sprayed all over our front porch to discourage feral cats. Cameras showed it attracted more feral cats all of whom slept comfortably on our rugs and outdoor furniture. Save some money and use Cayenne pepper instead. It actually works.

Even after spraying around the perimeter of the house, cats still come to my yard. I have proof that it does not work. Please refund.

I have a problem with squirrels chewing on everything in my yard including the roof of my new vinyl shed.This product is expensive and has not deterred them one bit. I keep spraying but they just continue to chew on everything especially the roof.

Works real well to keep away deer. Not so much for the guy in the pic.

Those critters disregarded this spray and they STILL came and peed on my freshly planted mums

We have a 5 month old puppy. This product did nothing to stop him from digging in our yard.

It didn’t work as I expected. Probably it won’t work against strayed dogs. My neighbor’s dogs are still roaming on the spots that l had sprayed.

Rabbits ate plants right after spraying. Used 3 bottles. tried every production the market. Looking to buy coyote urine as a last resort.

Our dog laps up this stuff as soon as it hits the ground. It doesn't repel her at all. Don't waste your money.

Used to try to protect a bird feeder on a Shepard's Hook. Put two coats on the pole, and on the ground around it. Applied some to the bird feeder itself. This is what I see:

My usual product was not available at the store so tried Critter Ridder instead. I treated my Hostas a couple times the past 2 weeks and after rain but noticed a few bites here and there. Then upon seeing deer in the neighborhood last night I sprayed my garden before going to bed. There was no rain overnight but this morning my tomato and paper plants were destroyed. So disappointed. Guessing they found Critter Ridder a tasty topping.

I purchased it due to groundhogs eating my garden. It seems as if even more groundhog came after I sprayed. Squash, pumpkin, eggplant cucumbers, tomatoes and peppers, all gone! I wish I could get my money back.

With all the other reviews indicating that this product does not work, I am surprised that Home Depot still offers it for sale. I purchased it despite those reviews, because the manufacturer has responded to negative reviews by asserting that repeated application was required to effectively repel pests. Unfortunately, that proved to be untrue. Over four days I repeatedly sprayed the affected area, using almost 2/3 of a bottle, without discouraging my burrowing ground squirrels in the least. I sprayed down the hole, covered the hole, and saturated the entire area around the hole with the repellent. The photo shows the latest hole following 4 days of applications, exactly as it was when I started. As an added bonus, the manufacturer has equipped the bottle with a cheap sprayer that leaks this product, designed to repel by unpleasant odor and taste, all over your hand. Buy this product only if you are willing to repeatedly apply it for a period long enough for your pest to die of old age! I returned it for a refund.

I have one lone, bold chipmunk hanging around. He scurries into my garage and has been closed in startling me. I am concerned he will cause damage. I have repeatedly sprayed this product around perimeters. I reapply after rain. Does not repel the chipmunk. The odor is not offensive, the chipmunk is certainly not repelled. After spraying around my porch he came right up twice and watched me while I was reading. i just opened up my garage and there he was. I guess I should name him. I will use this product up, search for another option and hope to get rid of the critter. This is a waste of money if you want to control chipmunks.

I have given this product two months and give up. Overpriced for a product that does not work long term. As soon as I noticed a woodpecker on our Palo Verde tree I began applying Critter Ridder and have applied it weekly for over two months in hopes it would deter the woodpecker from damaging the tree. At most the treated areas would deter the bird a week in the AZ heat (no rain) and then the woodpecker would return - so certainly not the 30 days the product claims. As of today, two months later, the woodpecker just moves up the tree to non-treated areas. Attached is a picture of how the tree looks after two months of Critter Ridder treatment - product did not work.

Used it to get rid of squirrels in my attic before sealing a hole and it seems to be working well.

it's a good product to keep cats and squirrels out of my ganden and flower bed using it as a liter box thanks for s good product

Critters ignored it and ate away

Did not work for me. Squirrels ate flowers on newly planted mums. Only the flowers.

The ground squirrels walked liked the smell and entered the yard that was sprayed

I love this product. It really does work and I wish I would have known about it a long time ago. I have been using it now for about 6 months. I have recommended it to many people.

I found cat poo right where I sprayed and also where I put the same product that you shake around. Seams to not work well.

Didn't stop or keep raccoons away

Seems to be working we no longer have any raccoons in the backyard
