Bonide Repels All 3 lbs Animal Repellent Ready-to-Use Granules for Outdoor Use

before i got this, the deer got most of my little garden. After sprinkling this around the little garden, we got all our veggies. Efficent and wonderful stuff. Recommended already to some of my family that have a bad deer problem.

I was faced with a dilemma recently. I was going away on vacation for a few weeks in the fall. I have been feeding birds from my deck for months and knew the birds have come to rely on the seed to bulk up for the winter. However, I live in a rural area where you can't leave birdfeeders out during the night, unless you don't mind bears and raccoons playing havoc with the feeders. During my absence, I wasn't sure if I should just take the feeders down or take a chance that the nocturnal wildlife will destroy them while I was gone. Up to that point I did have raccoons visit most nights to see if there was anything worth their while - even though the feeders were taken down. I looked into this product and decided to leave the feeders up and sprinkle this generously all over the deck before I left. I have cameras to watch the deck from my phone, so I was able to check to see if there was any activity. There was none - for almost 2 weeks! I did have one raccoon come by a few days before I got home because we had rain for several days, so the product must have washed away. But I was absolutely amazed. Now that I am home and the feeders are taken it every night, I don't mind if they stop by at night - and that they do, almost every night. A squirrel has found a way to get to one of my feeders recently - so I just sprinkled a lot of this on the railing near the feeder. So far, they get close to it and change their mind.
