Safer Brand Critter Ridder Repellent

While the formula uses ingredients that smell like garlic to animals, it dries odorless to humans. You won't notice a lingering scent in your garden once the spray has settled.

No, this product is not labeled as pet or child safe. You should keep pets and children away from the treated area until the spray has completely dried, and avoid applying it in areas where they play frequently.

The formula is weather-resistant and designed to last up to 90 days. However, you may need to reapply sooner if you experience heavy rainfall or if you notice new animal activity in the area.

This product is primarily designed for flowerbeds, lawns, and ornamental areas. It is not recommended for use on edible plants or vegetables intended for human consumption.

The repellent works by targeting both the animal's sense of smell and taste. By creating an unpleasant sensory experience, it trains deer, rabbits, and squirrels to avoid the treated area entirely.
