Havahart Critter Ridder Animal Repellent
Best organic solution for gardeners needing humane, non-toxic pest deterrence.
This organic granular repellent is the most effective way to train garden pests to steer clear of your flowerbeds without resorting to harsh chemicals. It relies on a potent pepper-based formula that works on both smell and taste, though you will need to reapply it after heavy rain to maintain that protective barrier.
