What Customers Are Saying
Customers report mixed results, with most praising effectiveness against cats in flower beds and patios, noting immediate deterrence and consistent success when reapplied after rain. However, many find it ineffective on dogs, which often ignore or are attracted to the product. The strong, persistent odor is polarizing—some view it as proof of potency while others find it overwhelming. Reapplication every one to two weeks is widely accepted as necessary maintenance. Despite some reporting no effect, most customers consider it worthwhile for cat deterrence.

Didn't hold my dog back!
Would Not RecommendMy dog keeps digging in my flower bed. I tried several different sprays and "remedies", so I thought let's try this one. I cleaned up my flower bed and sprayed a good amount of the Liquid Fence dog & cat repellent. A few hours later Jack had made a mess again. I can also tell you that this spray had a very potent unpleasant smell!! This is my very first negative review.
Stray out
Would RecommendWorks for me. I don't have a dog but two of my neighbors do. My section of the yard has become the poop area. I noticed one of my neighbors as soon as the back door opens they throw a toy out away from their area of the yard into my area. Well the dog has been in the house all day and night so he goes chasing after the toy which landed in my yard then let's it all out. So for the past two weeks I've been using this stuff and haven't found any turds.

Would Not RecommendDisappointed with this product. Used two treatments to keep our cat in the yard, but he just walked as if there was nothing there. Returned to the store.

WORKS FOR A FEW DAYS
Would RecommendWe use this on our front lawn of artificial turf. Seems to work for a few days; then the dog poops start to appear again. Wish it would last longer.

Would RecommendSo far this is working. I have not seen a dog doing its business on my mailbox.

Does not work. Neighbors' dog was shying away at first in their morning walk and by the afternoon, was walking right through the grass where the product was sprayed. What ever odor was supposed to make them stay off the grass or walk away, is not strong enough. Waste of money.

Not Recommended
Would Not RecommendThis product doesn't work. We have two dogs that we're trying keep from digging back up refilled holes in the yard and the flower beds. After we sprayed the areas, our dogs rolled around in it. They loved it. Of course now they have that garlic-like smell all over them. We had to bath them immediately. The smell was that bad. We should have checked the reviews first before we purchased this expensive bottle of spray.
This product works! It just smells horrible. FYI wear a mask when applying this product. It needs to be applied at least twice a week for the product to continuously work.
Doesn't work
Would Not RecommendSprayed entire perimeter of area trying to keep cats out of garden. Next day the evidence was there that they weren't bothered by it. So for my own proof I sprayed my jeans with it to see if my indoor cat would be effected..not at all..rubbing on me numerous times

it really works!
Would RecommendI use it to keep away the stray cat that comes around my property. This stuff really works. The cat was popping and urinating on my front lawn beds and grass and getting on my car. So I sprayed it around the car on the ground. I sprayed it on my front lawn beds and the grass. When the cat tries to come on the property or my car it make a bee line away from my property and the car. I like this stuff.

smells terrible
I sprayed one cushion on my porch to see how it did. It smelled so bad you would not be able to sit on it. It says you need to spray every few days so you would never be able to sit on the porch. NOW IT MIGHT WORK IN THE YARD BUT NOT ON PORCH CUSHIONS.
