Bonide Repels-All Animal Repellent Granules, 3 lbs. Ready-to-Use Deer & Rabbit Repellent, Deter Pests from Lawn & Garden

I love love love this product I didnt want to give a review and gatekeep but hey if you are like me you need the reviews to make a informed decision. Well I cannot stand the flies bugs mosquitos and lizard geckos whatever you call them and I have alway used lemongrass garlic hot chili pepper to get rid of them...until one day I was in Home Depot and found this product. I sprinkle it on my front and back porch around my yard and trash can and I'm here to tell you nothing is in site. I sprinkler about very 3 months and this last me for at least 3 sprinkles so a bang for your bucks. Now the down side is it does have a smell but it last only a few days. I will take that in order to not see bugs and lizards.....

We have groundhogs and several other vitamins around our property. I believe this product was going to work. Please don’t waste your time buying it. The groundhog has pretty much dug any hole. He wants no matter whether I put the stuff there or not. The rabbits are everywhere. They don’t care either about it and neither does the deer or any other creature that it says it makes him stay away. I applied the amount they talked about to the area. No use at all please don’t make the same mistake. I did avoid this product.

Smells weird but seems to work. I applied a little while back after noticing some squirrel dig holes in my raised beds. Liberally to the area around the beds Not In The Garden. Nothing has dug in there since but there are a few holes outside of the area I treated so I feel like it's working. Easy to apply easy to ignore and hopefully effective? So far so good, likely to continue use!

I thought this wasn't a very good product, but I had a lot left over so I put it all out. I don't want to jinx it and say what didn't happen to my seedlings, baby sunflowers, and all the rest. Either they've gone on vacation, or, I bought another serving. It's super easy; it's granular, so you don't need a special sprayer or fuss with measuring. Last year the deer were bolder than I've ever seen them. They nibble on some of my perennials, which is alright, if they leave more than they eat.

I’m sure this product works great for most people but just not in my case. I have sprinkled the contents around flower beds and even in the flow pots three times over the past 6 weeks but the young deer are not deterred. They have chomped on the petunias and hostas like a bowl full of salad. Back to the drawing board.

Alright, folks, buckle up because I'm about to tell you about the magical, critter-banishing unicorn dust known as Bonide Repels-All Animal Repellent Granules. If my backyard were a nightclub, these granules would be the bouncer, and let me tell you, they don’t let any uninvited guests past the velvet rope!For years, my garden was basically the salad bar at a wildlife rave party—squirrels, rabbits, chipmunks, you name it. If it was fluffy and had a pulse, it was chomping through my petunias like they were going out of style. Enter Repels-All, my knight in granular armor. One month down, and not a single bloody squirrel or its freeloading friends has dared to crash my garden gala.This stuff must be packing some sort of olfactory nightmare that sends these critters packing to therapy. The label says it irritates their nasal passages, and honestly, I imagine it’s like walking into a perfume store and getting blasted by every scent at once. Whatever’s in it, it triggers their "Oh heck no!" instincts.And the animals it repels? It’s like reading Noah’s Ark’s blacklist—squirrels, deer, rabbits, even that skunk that thought my backyard was his personal bachelor pad. Not anymore, Pepe Le Pew!Applying it around my fortress of solitude—aka my suburban homestead—was easier than convincing my dog that the vet isn’t a serial killer. Just sprinkle your magic critter-chasing dust around your gardens, garbage cans, and, unless you’re into live-action Disney movies, your bird feeders.Plus, the stuff is biodegradable! So not only am I keeping Bambi and Thumper out of my veggie patch, but I’m also not hurting the planet. Talk about an eco-friendly guilt-free solution!I’m planning my next sprinkle-down in two months, setting a reminder on my phone and everything. It’s like setting a date to renew an anti-critter restraining order. And believe me, with how peaceful my garden’s been, I might just throw a little sprinkle party with a side of barbecue.So, if you're tired of hosting the Animal Planet after-party in your backyard, get yourself a bag of Bonide Repels-All. It’s like telling all those furry freeloaders, "You SHALL NOT pass!" Go forth and protect your green kingdom, my fellow garden warriors!

This does not seem to work well for my area/problem. The deer are eating all my tomatoes and my hostas have been eaten to the ground (they used to never eat my hostas) -- I sprinkled this around my tomatoes (I can get how that may not help as the tomatoes are up higher) and hostas -- the acted like nothing was there. There is barely any smell to this so I dont think it was deterring the deer ... at all. Will have to try something else.

This works great to prevent animals from eating and digging in my plants. Only drawback is you have to refresh each time it rains. A must have for gardeners.
