Tools and Hardware Reviews of Shake Away 8004520 20 ounces Small Critter Repellent Fox Urine Granules
Customer Review: Didn't work on squirrels.
Summary: 1 Stars
I surrounded a few very vulnerable plants with a giant, stinky ring of this stuff, and the squirrels disregarded it completely, continuing their invasive incursions into my garden. Apparently fox urine is more repellant to humans than it is to the fox's natural prey, because the reek was overwhelming to me.Customer Review: Does Work!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Finally a product that works on chipmunks and squirrels. I did and experiment in my flower beds- sprinkled half (directly onto the shurbs and flowers and left the other half alone- lo and behold half gone half perfect needless to say it's on all now!!Customer Review: Don't waste your money
Summary: 1 Stars
Bottom line, the chipmunks play in it. They roll around in it like it's the first snowfall. The squirrels simply hop over it. The rabbits don't seem to take any notice of it at all. Nor do any of the deer (in fairness, the deer repellent is supposed to be coyote urine). So, which animals is it supposed to repel? It's unsightly, it stinks, it's really expensive and it does not work. If there is an animal that is actually frightened away from your plants by this stuff, I can assure that animal does not live in Ohio. Here, if they notice it at all, it's just something white and powdery that they like to roll in. It would seem to be chipmunks find it a very compelling perfume.Customer Review: Great product and customer service
Summary: 5 Stars
I must disagree with the review that state that the website provides no route to a refund. Though the website states that it is being revised, there is a toll free number listed. I called to inquire about a refund because initially the product wasn't working for me. Though the agent was more than accomodating about providing a refund, she also took the time to ask me how I'd been using the product. As it turns out, I was applying it all wrong. She talked me through how I should use it, and it's been working like a charm ever since. It takes a little bit of time to begin to work, but it was worth the wait. ****
I've had a couple of requests to clarify what the correct way of applying the product is, and my apologies for not including that in my original review. I had applied a heavy dose of the Shake-Away on my garden,and was downright furious the following day when I saw rabbits eating away! That was why I had called. The girl instructed me to apply it lightly 2 times a week for 2 weeks, and said that it may take up to 2 weeks for it to start working. She said that once it started working, to apply it once a month to keep the bunnies away. So that's the trick, light but consistent applications.
Customer Review: I Doubt This Works
Summary: 2 Stars
I don't think this works, but I haven't extensively tested it. I bought this product initially to keep the squirrels from eating my just emerged lillies, but I think chicken wire/cage is probably a better (yet physical) barrier to keep the critters away. Chicken wire is at least a better investment, although an ugly one.
