Didn't work. I saturated my purchased chrysanthemums with it, and the rabbits loved it! Should call it Mums-Be-Gone. Stank to high heaven for about three days before it calmed down. Rabbits ate the flowers whether they stank or not.

Failed miserably!!!! I bought it for my vegetable garden and even though the description said good for all gardens, once I read the label it said do not use on food. POOR!!!! Would never use again it attracted flies on the flowers I sprayed it on

I've used this product before in another area of the country and was happy to see that I could still find it . It works well and keeps the darn chipmunks off my plants ! I recommended it to a friend of mine and she is having success as well . I do use it every 10-14days . If I don't , the chippies are back . The product does have an obnoxious odor , so be prepared !

I purchased the easy pump which was uncontrollable. When I pumped the nozzle flowed. Lost much of the contents before even using it. Faulty design or simply damaged product. Don want to bother anymore.

The spray seemed to kill the plant on it's own. No help from the squirrel was required. A BIG waste of money. Generally, I find HD products top notch but this one just doesn't cut the mustard

The rabbits used to come to my yard for an “all you can eat salad bar”! But not anymore...since I started using Bobbex-R Animal Repellent, they don’t touch my plants! I hate rabbits but I love Bobbex-R! I wish Home Depot would stock it so I wouldn’t have to order it.

Finally a product that work, I have so much problems with squirrels that keep digging holes on my front of my house,where I have mulch!! Very frustrated until I got this product and it does work, for how long I do not know but even with rain it keeps working. At least I do not have holes, all over my mulch front of the house and mulch all over the side walk. We will see if it keeps working.so far so good!

Like most of you who are reading this you are hoping for a great product. I had high hopes in the beginning because boy does this stuff smell bad. At first it worked great. Only the birds were able to tolerate it but then I noticed that if you don't apply it every week to 10 days the animal kingdom starts drifting back. So the raccoons, chipmunks and squirrels have returned which means its time to reapply. I suppose if you bought 3 bottles for the spring and summer you could remain quasi critter free which is why I only gave it 2 stars.

worked so far
We have a black walnut tree in backyard and the squrrils loves it in fall. They have a habit of running accross the roof and also occasionally drop a nut with a thud. Wakes us up. I applied this to three trunk and branches where they access roof and i have not seen any activity in these areas or heard any activity on roof. In fact i do t see any squrrils this morbing near our house. No rain, midwest average temp 50-75F. I applied a fair amount. It does have an odor when first applied but not very strong. So far 5 STARS, recommended for midwest squrrils.

      Works perfectly!
      Great product! I had a big problem with squirrels going around my plants and even eating some of them. Now they pass straight by it. The smell is really strong so I suggest you don't have guests in that day.

        So - So
        The other reviewers were correct on the smell. It smells horrible, but as the description states, it only lasts a few hours. That said, I would say it works fair! It has helped in ridding my strawberries of rabbits and ground squirrels, but it has by no means cured it. I find I have to spray every 2 weeks to keep them at bay at all. I recommend with caution that no one expects there small animal problem to be cured with this product. It only works so-so for me.

        It Works....For awhile.
        I noticed an increase of chipmunks in my yard for the past few months. They've tunneled under my house and dug holes in the yard. It started in the backyard where they were using my neighbor's overgrown weeds and vines as home base. However, when they moved to my front yard I knew I needed to get rid of the cute litters critters and their offspring. I sprayed the Bobbex Animal repellant all around the base of my house and trees. It took the whole bottle and smelled pretty bad. But I stopped seeing any chipmunks (and squirreds) immediately. However, it is now two weeks later and they are slowly returning. I'm going to do another round of Bobbex and hope I can again reduce their population. I had no problems with the e-z pump. It was easy to use and didn't break like the plastic used in a lot of those lawn sprayer bottles.

        Do not waste you money.
        1 hour after spraying the yard the chipmunks were back in my flowers and the rabbits all over the grass then a few new animals appeared. I think it attracted them, not repelled them!

        So far, so good!
        Deer were eating the blooms off my newly planted rose bushes. Used this product, and so far they have stopped. Much appreciated!

        Works as advertised.
        Critters won't come near an area treated with the product. Be sure to wear gloves and stand upwind of the spray when applying it. You may want to let a treated area air out overnight before planning any outdoor activities in the vicinity.

        Extremely disappointed with this purchase.
        The rabbits usually wait until my lillies bloom before muching on them. Although I took care in following the instructions for this product, the plants are almost completely gone with nothing left to bloom. It's as though the Bobbex -R was dressing and the varmits loved it. Very expensive with no results.

          very effective
          My first season of planting vegetables in our backyard. I was so excited to get beans started (one of my favorite veggies to grow) I got them started to about 6" inside and then transplanted them into the garden. The following morning I found that my beans had been eaten down to the dirt. I didn't have much of a problem with my other plants but this was the one that I was looking forward to. I had no idea what kind of critter I had in my yard and was surprised that I even had that issue with my dog back there all the time. I noticed a week or so later that I had a chipmunk living in my front flower bed and since then I have found what look like vole tunnels on the other side of my yard. I was referred to this item because it is specifically for rodents, okay around domestic animals and use around veggies. It is definitely potent. I opened the box after it was delivered and I could smell the garlic oil. I sprayed it 2 weeks ago (it has rained quite a bit since then) and I can still smell it some when I go out to the garden. Since then I have not had any of my veggies munched on. I will have to mention that my garden is about 12x5 and I used half of the bottle after one application, but so far one application is all that it took. So, it can be a little expensive if you have to use it on a big garden. I would say however, that for keeping critters out of my veggies and doing so organically, I am extremely pleased. Also, want to mention that my dog was not attracted to the smell which was another one of my concerns. Now, to just get those stinkers digging the tunnels out of my yard :)

          Product worked very well
          This product has a very strong odor. The smell lasted about 36 hours after initial spray. The good news is that the chipmonks and squirls are now gone.
