Safer® Brand Critter Ridder® Animal Repellent works to protect your yard from wildlife and stray pets. Without harming the animal, the dual-action formula repels by overwhelming their sense of smell and taste. Thanks to highly potent active ingredients, these granules are fast acting, teaching the pests quickly to avoid the area.

Scoop with capsaisin and hot pepper

Simple and Effective

Critter Ridder® contains three intense ingredients that trigger the animal’s senses and teach them to avoid the area. The granules inside the canister combine piperine, oil of black pepper and capsaicin to create a strong repellent that causes an unpleasant taste and smell for nuisance animals.

Product did not work

We applied this product per instructions, in the flower bed and over lawn. It did not deter the squirell at all. He came across where the product was spread and proceeded to eat all the suet cakes we had in the cage. At the cost of this product, this is very disappointing. Since it was used, the store will not return it. What is your policy?

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. This product is a conditioning agent and it may take several encounters with the treated area for animals to learn they are not welcome. Our products have a 30-day guarantee, please reach out to us at 855-767-4264 with any questions! -Kathryn

Applied as directed, it didn't stop the Racoons from doing the same damage as they did the evenings before. Non effective.

I applied the entire 1 kg container of granular Critter Ridder on Monday, on Wednesday morning most of the area that I had applied it to had been rolled back from raccoons.

I'm sorry to hear that you didn't see better results Mike! This product is a conditioning agent and it often takes several interactions before the animals learn to avoid the treated area. If the product has been applied for a few weeks and the raccoons are still not deterred, feel free to give us a call to take advantage of the 30 day return policy.   Best regards, Susan

This product ABSOLUTELY DOES NOT WORK! I spread it around my garden, being generous, and the very next day there was cat poop in the soil. I had removed all the netting beforehand because it is so unsightly, and hoped that this product would do the trick, but I WAS TRICKED into paying over $20 for a product that does not do what it purports to do. DO NOT BUY THIS if you are hoping to keep cats out of your dirt!!

The product is designed to work over several days as the animals associate the area with an unwanted scent. We do have a 30 day refund policy on this product, please give us a call at 855-767-4264 to assist you.

I bought this with the advice from a home depot rep who said it will definitely work. Sad to say the racoon who was pulling up my freshly laid looked me straight in the eye and continued about his business. The smell definitely did not deter him.

Thank you for sharing this experience. This product is not an instant repellent. The product works as a conditioning agent to repel animals over multiple exposures to the treated area. This product is backed by a 30 day return policy. Please email us directly at consumers@woodstream.com with any questions.
Critter Ridder works as advertised.

We had a problem with squirrels and chipmunks eating our flowers in containers. The chipmunks would even dig and destroy what we had growing. I sprinkled Crittter Ridder on the ground around the containers and even in the containers. They would not cross where I used the Critter Ridder. This is a great product and I have even noticed fewer rabbits in the yard.
