Doesn't work at all.

Apr 30, 2023
Doesn't work at all. I have a squirrel nest in the corner joist bay of my roof where they chewed through the fascia and ate out the spray foam insulation. I emptied half a bottle into the joist pocket (approx. 1 cubic foot enclosed on all sides) and they are still in there, scratching away.

We are sorry to hear about this! Critter Ridder is a conditioning agent and not an instant repellent. It works over time and multiple exposures to the product to teach animals to stay away from the treated area. Each encounter with the product will irritate the animals nose, mouth, and paws. Over time, the animal will learn to associate this unpleasant feeling with the area in which it was applied. Please feel free to contact us directly for further assistance.

I don't know what's in this, but as soon as I sprayed it, I immediately started sneezing, wheezing and coughing. It's awful. Sinuses and throat feel awful. I didn't have it anywhere close to my head. I have a feeding tube, PICC line, and 9 AI diseases. I will never use it again. It triggered a bad reaction in me. Be careful when using this stuff.

Got this spray for stray cats fighting over territory of my front door. I started spraying from the bottom of the stairwell all the way to my front door. I even sprayed the driveway to no luck! One night I looked out and a stray cat was sitting my by front door right next to this spray bottle. What a waste of my time and money.

Only product i use anymore.

Only product i use anymore. Some other products have blood or urine in them, and it seems ridiculous to be trying to keep animals away from the garden in a humane way by being inhumane to other animals. As for the other products that do so by bad taste or smell (like Critter Ridder), this has been the right balance of effective without stinking up my garden so much i don't want to be in it. You DO have to spray again after a good rain, but it's been my experience that I only need to spray for a few months to train the latest batch of animals lingering around my yard to stay away from the plants i want them to stay away from. Don't need to do much spraying by mid-summer. Love this product and i'm glad Safer is keeping it going.

Product IS effective - at least on plants

Sep 3, 2021
Surprised by the negative reviews - as i read them, i realize I use it differently than some of the others here - I use it to stop critters from eating my plants. As for me, I've used so many brands and have been very pleased with critter ridder for years. I no longer use any that have blood in them - inhumane, attracts raccoons and bears and leave ugly stains on leaves. For the ones with predator urine, I question how the key ingredient could be acquired in a humane way. Some others stink so bad they smell up the whole area and what's the point of that? Critter ridder doesn't smell too bad and it's been very effective for me. I do shake the bottle before applying, apply generously, and reapply after a couple rains (once the leaves have dried) despite the claim that it's weather-resistant. If i start this in mid-spring, the wildlife is typically trained by early summer and i can ease off the applications.

Squirrels were eating our flowers on our patio. Bot this product (Expensive) and sprayed liberally around pots . One day later squirrels were back. Sprayed product even heavier at least 6 times with no effect. Very dissatisfied.

Thank you for your feedback. This product is a conditioning agent and not an instant repellent. It works over time and multiple exposures to the product to teach animals to stay away from the treated area. Each encounter with the product will irritate the animals nose, mouth, and paws, so it may take several encounters with the treated area for animals to learn to stay away. Please contact us at 855-767-4264 for assistance, we're happy to help!
Terrible product. Doesn’t work at all!

Do NOT waste your money on this!!! Have problems with squirrels, chipmunks and raccoons. Bought 2 bottles of this. Sprayed all around my deck where l have several bird feeders. It hasn’t rained here since I used the spray. First day couldn’t keep chipmunks away. That night the raccoon came back and totally ate everything out there. Next day squirrels came back. Brought all my feeders in that night. Today can’t keep the squirrels away. Went out and sprayed again. If animals come back I WILL be returning product for a FULL refund!!!

Q&A

My safer spray unit is clogged up. How can I get it to work? Thanks
Question by: Mark stein on May 9, 2023, 9:20 AM
If clogged, we recommend soaking the sprayer in warm water and rinsing well.
