Bonide Go Away Animal Repellent

Bonide Go Away is specifically formulated to deter deer and rabbits. While it may discourage other small animals, it is not designed or tested for broader pest control, such as groundhogs or squirrels.

For best results, apply the repellent every two to four weeks, or after significant rainfall. The frequency may need to increase during periods of rapid plant growth or heavy pest pressure.

This product is intended for use on ornamental plants, flowers, and shrubs. It is not recommended for use on edible crops or vegetable gardens, as it is not labeled for food-contact surfaces.

Once dry, the formula is generally clear and should not leave a noticeable residue on your foliage. However, it is always a good idea to test a small, inconspicuous area first if you are concerned about discoloration on delicate plants.

The product does have a distinct scent upon application, which is part of how it deters animals. The smell typically dissipates quickly once the spray has dried, becoming unnoticeable to humans while remaining effective for wildlife.
