Plantskydd Animal Repellent - Repels Deer, Rabbits, Elk, Moose, Hares, Voles, Squirrels, Chipmunks and Other Herbivores; 3.5 LB Granular Shaker Jug (PS-VRD-3)

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.

Working great so far.

Got the product sprinkled the entire bottle around my grass and not. 30 min later rabbit was in the grass , I went around the entire fence and layed a nice layer down , just sprinkled money on the ground is how I feel not sure if needs to sink in the ground or water it , directions didn’t say to do any of that , hopes it just needs to settle in the ground but for now I feel waste of money if I see any change I will update my post but for now no stars and didn’t help just after 30 min of sprinkling on the ground the little rabbit came running in the yard like it was almost inviting to them to come in , we also sprinkled around our hay barn rabbits love to come in and eat the hay and of course make their droppings all of over the hay it’s so nasty I’m guessing it doesn’t work for rabbits in our area I read reviews on so many products before I purchased this one and this one had good reviews said it was expensive but it worked so figured if it works who cares how much you spend right but not the case here again if things change I will make a note to update because reviews I feel are so important especially since we all spend so much time buying things online now and everything is so pricey these days

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

I got this product due to the stellar recommendation of an Alaskan (in Anchorage) who swore it kept moose from eating his trees. He said "It stinks but it works." I live in a midAtlantic state where the deer are abundant and hungry. They eat even plants which are "deer resistent". I put this around my fruit trees, flower garden, etc. I don't know if it repelled deer, but my dogs (golden retriever & goldendoodle) won't leave it alone. They eat the dirt and mulch on which it's spread. Not what I wanted.

So far so good at keeping the deer and rabbits away from my plants.

Wonderful product ,has saved countless plants from chewing rabbits. Always always have it on hand.

Not sure if it works but it came with content not matching the photos. it came like 2/3 full, height-wise, below the top of the label, and its been 3 days since message sent and no reply. i wasnt thinking and used it before coming back here and realizing these photos show it filled to the very top. it had the blue tape on it also, but the inside seal was not stuck all the way around so that was unsealed. it doesnt seem to last long at all. one use sparingly on gardens dropped my level down to the bottom of the handle. i think i was short changed on quantity, and got no reply in 3 days. if you buy it, weight it to see if it matches what it says on the container, but what i got did not match the photos, and that should not be allowed. i don't know if it works or not. the deer and rabbits have ignored liquid sprays and are even eating types of plants they never ate for decades.
