Critter Ridder Animal Repellent Granules

No. Critter Ridder is a humane repellent that uses natural ingredients like capsaicin and black pepper oil to irritate an animal's senses of smell and taste, encouraging them to leave the area without causing any physical harm.

This formula is effective against a wide range of common nuisance animals, including raccoons, skunks, dogs, cats, squirrels, groundhogs, and chipmunks.

Under normal conditions, the granules provide up to 30 days of protection. However, you may need to reapply sooner if you experience heavy rainfall or if the area is heavily trafficked by pests.

Yes, it is OMRI-listed for organic gardening, meaning the active ingredients are compliant with organic standards. It is safe to use around your plants, though you should avoid applying the granules directly onto edible parts of the crops.

Application is straightforward; you can either scatter the granules by hand or use a lawn spreader for larger areas. For best results, ensure you create a perimeter around the space you want to protect, such as flowerbeds or trash cans.
