I purchased this to keep the rodents from chewing my car wires. It did not work.

We are sorry to hear about this! This product is not recommended for use inside of a car. It is a conditioning repellent so it will likely take a few exposures before the rodents learn to stay away from the treated area. If you continue to be unhappy with your purchase, you may contact the original retailer for assistance with a refund.

Should have read the reviews
Did absolutely nothing to repel the rabbits in our yard. I used it for 2 weeks and nothing changed. Critter Ridder has a 100% guarantee written on their label. On the website it states full refund if within the first 30 days. I wrote to get a refund and was told it takes multiple uses for the animal to learn (I had) and that they can’t refund when purchased from suppliers. Hmmm…. Don’t waste 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. Please feel free to contact us at 855-542-8242 with any questions, we're happy to help!

    We're sorry to hear about 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 results, you may contact the original retailer for assistance with a refund.

    Does not work on Cats
    Does not work on cats. I have numerous cats who pass through my yard nightly. I applied this to the area they pass through and within 4 hrs cats passed through the area!

      Doesn’t work
      Don’t buy this product!!! It lasted one day. My dog dug up all the holes that I fixed. I’m going to try Dog Mace by Natures mace.

      Sorry to hear this! Animals may initially be curious about the new smell, but eventually learn to stay away from areas treated with Critter Ridder®. Their nose and mouth are immediately irritated when they contact the product. It may take a few unpleasant exposures for them to get the hint and realize they are not welcome. If you continue to be unhappy with your results, you may contact the original retailer for assistance with a refund.
        Does rid cats at all.Used two bottles, don't work

        Didn't work on our Squirrels
        I bought this product as a Google search said it was one of the top products to use to repel squirrels. I needed it to stop the varmints from eating all the sunflower seeds we put out for our wild birds. The description says it will repel squirrels, it didn't. I tried two applications and it had no affect. The squirrels just kept right on like nothing was affecting them. I returned it to the store.

          Gave Havahart a try and it was safe for animals. Was hoping this spray would repel dogs on my lawn so they stop pooping, but did not work. Saw a couple new cats around too. I give up.

          spray bottle doesn't spray, It's more like a stream. I guess it doesn't matter because it doesn't deter deer from eating my bush! waste of money.
