3.5 lb. Granular – Animal Repellent

Seems to work well, I don’t see the bunnies anymore!

The product did not deter rabbits. It was a total waste of money and I’d like my money back

This ended my deer eating my pumpkin patch!!!!

My wife likes to garden and also make potted plant arrangements, but the squirrels kept getting into the potted plants are digging them up. But once I sprinkled this product onto the dirt, no more squirrels.

I planted fruit trees and while I was waiting for tall fencing to be in stock, I sprinkled this around them to keep the deer out. I love this stuff. Dampen the ground and sprinkle this on and dampen it just enough that it sticks. Same with the yellow box. Don’t follow the instructions or it doesn’t work as well. Just dampen the ground sprinkle and dampen it again so it makes a shell.

Bunnies were eating my young plants. This took care of problem overnight.

Put a heavy application on the lawn in areas where rabbits were feeding and it did nothing to inhibit them from returning and continue to feed on the precise areas where the product was applied. Totally worthless. Zero stars would be more accurate.

This is a great option if you don’t want to cage in ALL of your plants. I was a little reluctant to buy this as it is quite expensive, but so are flowers!! This is the first year that I had almost no loss of tulips to the rabbits. I sprinkled it around all of my spring bulbs as soon as the greens were about 4″. I sprinkled it around my perennials as soon as they started to poke through . . . . I have one area at the very back of my yard where the rabbits seem to feel entitled to chew on my shrubs and coneflowers and are not deterred by the product — but it IS working on about 80% of my flora. I am applying it at approximately 6 week intervals.

I think Plantskyyd is genius! It is ridiculously expensive for dried cow blood, but it doesn’t take much and it’s brilliantly effective against squirrels in my riverside town in northeastern Delaware.

Squirrels treat my four 4’ x 4’ raised beds like their personal playgrounds! Like sandboxes! They dig holes all over them just for fun. They don’t bury nuts or seeds there. I check. For burying nuts and seeds, the squirrels prefer my flower beds or potted plants. In my raised beds, where there’s nice loose soil, they just like to play, to dig for fun – or sometimes for mischief. I’m certain it’s a game. Just before I started using Plantskyyd, I had this experience:

I planted 8 small lettuce and kale plants in one raised bed. That night, squirrels dug big holes right next to 7 of those plants and then pulled up the 8th one and layed it on its side to die, as if to say

“Look what we did? Now it’s your turn!”

Next morning, after a little giggle over this, I bought Plantskyyd. I filled in the holes and watered the little plants, leveled off the soil in the bed, and sprinkled Plantskyyd over the surface. After that I never saw so much as a squirrel footprint in that raised bed! It was as good as a wire cage. My garden remains undisturbed by squirrels for months at a time UNLESS – and this sometimes does happen – I stir up the soil surface somehow, like by raking my hand over it, by digging out an old plant or putting in a new one, or even by pulling out a big old weed. Once the soil surface has been disturbed, I have to sprinkle Plantskyyd again, or the game’s back on and I’ll find little pointless holes dug in any area where the soil was overturned. Squirrels are not intimidated if the Plantskyyd has been dug into the garden soil. It must be on the surface. Just a sprinkle, not a pile.

I sprinkle Plantskyyd after I scatter seeds, but if I go out later and thin the seeds, I sprinkle a little more. A squirrel can do a lot of damage to a sea of minuscule spinach sprouts. But once the garden surface is coated and the beds start filling out with vegetables, I don’t have to give squirrels another thought all summer. Even after rain. If I’ve still got crops growing in the fall, and see a hole-shaped message from a squirrel, I might give the area another sprinkle of Plantskyyd, but in the many years I’ve been using this product now, I’ve noticed that squirrels seem to lose interest in my raised beds once they’re cluttered with vegetable plants. I think they’ve got some other game on by then, somewhere else.

It helps to have a garden layout and planting schedule worked out in advance. Put everything where you definitely want it to stay and grow and then sprinkle Plantskydd over the soil surface, not on the plants themselves. Though the directions tell you how often to reapply it, in my experience, if the soil surface remains undisturbed, Plantskyyd can work all summer.

Admittedly, I have a single pest – just squirrels – so I cannot attest to how well Plantskyyd deters other animals. For me, it’s the perfect solution to my squirrel combatants. Nobody’s hurt, but I win. It allows me to grow the food I eat all spring, summer, and fall. That’s worth the price I pay for Plantskyyd.

Worked for a while, but then the animals ignored it. Too expensive to keep spreading more and more and not having the desired affect.

This works just as good as cayenne pepper and cayenne pepper is much less expensive but I am glad I at least tried it
