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.

Practical

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The repellent is easy to use and works effectively to keep the pets away from treated areas. The spray distributes evenly, and it does not harm the plants and the animals.

Wasn't very effective

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely hate the smell which is the point I suppose. Sprayed it in the yard around the landing as shown in the pictures. My dog completely ignored where it was sprayed and peed there anyway. It wasn't effective for him. Hopefully it'll be more effective around my herb garden to repel cats. Wouldn't purchase if in the market for this type of product.

Smells bad but works!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow does this stuff stink! Almost didn’t use it because it was such a strong scent. But I put it outside where I put seeds into the ground, that my dog keeps digging at. And sure enough she hasn’t even gone near that spot since spraying. But man, I can hardly stand the smell, apparently neither can my dog.

It works just as it said it would.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband used it outside. The smell was too strong for my senses. Overall, it did what it was suppose to do. I’m pleased with the results from it.

Great!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great pet repellent for plants! Safe to both the plants and cat/dog! Super easy to spray on and around any plant, doesn’t have an odor, and doesn’t leave any residue on the plants.

Smells like cooking seasoning , wouldn’t doubt it’

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to use animal deterrent, instructions provide a quick and easy usage guide. Dispensed no problem just the smell threw me off, it smells like a mix of cooking seasonings. Was some residue from the bottle in the bag upon arrival.

Smells horrible

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product smells so bad and was ineffective. It’s almost like it attracts cats vs deters them. This smells profoundly like garlic and cinnamon and the combination is atrocious. It’s an oil as well, so don’t get it on your skin or the scent will never go away. I know from experience. I sprayed this on some smaller pine trees we have in our front yard which cats occasionally will stop by and urinate on. The cats actually rubbed all over the t...

Seems to work well

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just sprayed this around my office outside today and it honestly works. We have outdoor cats that won’t go away and I haven’t seen them today. I think it definitely keeps them at bay- I don’t think they like the smell.

Powerful rancid stench, probably effective for cat

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The smell is rancid, even through the box it was shipped in I could smell it. I sprayed only a bit of it outside my front window but the stench is so potent I can’t get it out of my nose. I can’t tolerate the smell, but I’m sure it’s effective because I don’t even want to be around it. My dog immediately walked away when I showed him the bottle. If you can tolerate a rancid, rotting garlic smell I’m sure it will work but yuck. It’s worse than t...

Simple, safe, and useful for keeping pets away fro

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product looks like a good option if you want dogs and cats away from plants 🪴 or outdoor spaces without harming them . The bottle design is easy to use with a spray nozzle and the label clearly says it doesn't harm plants and animals which make it safer than a chemical replicant. it seems specially for people who had problem with stray dags

It smells like it should work

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ok this smells so bad, but maybe it will help keep the stray cats from jumping over our fence. I am hoping this really works. It's hard to say, but they have seemed to been staying away. I have a neighbor who has all kinds of cats that she lets run around and honestly it drives out dogs nuts. I have an indoor cat that likes to lay on our porch outside when our dogs go out, but when the neighbors cats distract him it makes him run off. I don't l...

Little goes a long way!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Extremely potent... Definitely use downwind because you will smell like it. 100% positive this works every place and will keep just about any animal from digging whole in or out of your fence line! Not super expensive and goes alllooonnggg way. Has a oil base to it. Very smooth spraying in a good bottle. Carefully read instructions to make sure it's safe for your home before using.

Works Great!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Liquid Fence Dog & Cat Repellent Ready-To-Use2 works wonders. The product has a very strong scent to deter animals but is also safe.Packaging and the added squirter nozzle are great additions. Easy to read print on the bottle.

Safe

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was a life saver we used it to spray plants and even the trash cans outside the dogs and cats were getting into the trash cans and biting plants so this helped keep them out of trash cans and out plants .

The small bottle will NOT be enough for home owner

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Small bottle is nowhere near enough! 😆 I had planned on creating a "no-go zone" in the front of our property, as a couple "neighbors" think it's okay to let their dogs poop and leave on our lawn. Unfortunately, I barely had enough to treat our back porch area. We have a couple male dogs that see the world as their urinal, so I am hoping this will deter them from marking the "people" areas, at least! We shall see. But, disappointedly, I didn...

Effective thus far

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this once last week in my backyard and I don’t see any animal droppings this week in my yard. The bottle is nice and plentiful and I don’t notice any left over residue after using this. So far so good!

Highly recommend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Highly recommend. I use the product to spray my front yard and I dont see any uninvited friends stopping by from my neighborhood. The smell is not very nice but it works.

Safe and effective

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works great! I have had a problem with animals getting into our trash, but I never want to get anything toxic to them. This made me feel more comfortable using to deter them and so far, it’s been a success! No more random trash all around and I feel good in knowing it doesn’t hurt them!

Strong

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product comes in an easy to use bottle. Just spray it around your perimeter and let it work. I will say the product is very strong to the point I felt sick smelling it .
