| Granular vs Liquid | Both of these products work the same to prevent animal damage. However, users might find it easier to pick one over the other based on use area. For example, if treating garbage cans to keep raccoons away, the liquid would work better, while the granular may be preferred around vegetable gardens. |
| Application Method | For granular repellents, shake the container before use or use a garden spreader. For liquid repellents, spray a fine mist on surfaces or around problem areas using the trigger bottle. |
| Coverage Area | Granular covers about 750 sq. ft. per pound, while liquid covers 1,000 sq. ft. per quart—just enough to protect your garden or yard with ease. |
| Duration of Protection | Each application provides up to 30 days of weatherproof protection. Rain, watering, or outdoor conditions won’t reduce effectiveness during this period. For persistent animals or heavy pressure, increase your coverage: start applications earlier in the season, apply more generously, and ensure your perimeter has no gaps. Combine top-of-plant sprays with granular or liquid treatments, or rotate scents—like Deer Stopper and Deer Stopper II—until animals learn to stay away. |
| Safe for Animals | Our repellents deter animals naturally—without harming them. They’re a humane, wildlife-friendly solution. |
| Safe to Use Around Plants | Due to possible allergic reaction to one or more of the ingredients used to make this product, do not apply to plants that are grown for human or animal consumption. When spraying, ensure that the product does not contact food plants. It may, however, be used on dormant fruit and nut trees. This product works by smell and taste. |
| Safe to Use Around Kids & Pets | Made with plant-based ingredients, this product is safe to use around children and pets. However, as with the plant-use guidelines, it should not be applied directly to edible plants or to any plants grown for human or animal consumption. Always review the guidelines to ensure safe and effective use. |
| Re-Entry After Application | Once sprays or granules have settled and dried—typically within a few hours, depending on weather and application rate—people and pets can safely re-enter the treated area. |
