Product Information
Full details
STV Cat and Dog Scatter Granules are designed for homeowners and gardeners looking to protect their outdoor spaces from unwanted digging, scratching, and fouling by pets. These granules provide a long-lasting, scent-based deterrent that discourages repeat visits to specific areas like flower beds and lawns without harming the animals. While the product is highly effective for maintaining garden cleanliness, users should note that heavy rainfall or manual watering will likely necessitate more frequent reapplication to maintain the protective scent barrier.

FAQs
Are these granules safe for my own pets?
Yes, when used according to the label directions, the granules are formulated to be safe for both humans and pets.
How often should I reapply the granules?
Reapply as needed, particularly after heavy rainfall, lawn watering, or when you notice the deterrent effect beginning to fade.
Can I use these in my vegetable garden?
The product is designed for garden areas to prevent fouling and digging. Avoid applying directly onto edible crops; instead, use them on the perimeter of the beds.
Do these granules dissolve in the rain?
They are designed to be weather-resistant, but they are not waterproof. Heavy rain will reduce their effectiveness and require fresh application.
Is the 750g bag enough for a large lawn?
The 750g bag is best suited for targeted use in specific problem areas like flower beds or entrance paths. For very large lawns, you may require multiple bags.
Troubleshooting
Pets continue to visit the treated area
Ensure that the granules have been applied evenly and that recent rain or watering hasn't washed away the active scent. Consider increasing the frequency of reapplication.
Unsure about dosage
Apply a light, even layer across the affected surface. You do not need to bury the granules; they are designed to release scent from the surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To apply, ensure the area is clean of existing debris or fouling. Scatter the granules evenly across the target surface, focusing on entry points or areas where pet activity has been previously observed. Store the product in a cool, dry place to ensure the shelf life and potency of the scent-releasing oils are preserved. While the granules are safe for use on most outdoor surfaces, it is recommended to test a small, inconspicuous area if you have delicate, ornamental plants or specific paving materials that might be sensitive to the clay base. Always wash your hands after handling the granules and keep the container tightly closed when not in use.
