What customers say
Consumers value this repellent for its humane, natural ingredients and tolerable scent, offering an appealing alternative to harsh chemicals. Ease of application is a clear benefit. However, the primary frustration centers on reliability due to poor weather resistance. Many users report that moisture quickly diminishes the product's effectiveness, requiring frequent, costly reapplication. Furthermore, results vary significantly by animal size, with larger pests often remaining undeterred. While effective immediately in dry conditions against smaller animals, the consensus suggests this product functions best as a temporary deterrent rather than a robust, long-term solution.
