What types of animals does this repel?

How often should I reapply the gel?

Typically, reapplication is recommended every few weeks, or sooner if there has been heavy rain or significant animal activity.

What should I do if the gel gets on my skin?

Will this harm my plants?

Troubleshooting

Animals are still entering the treated area.

Ensure the gel was applied evenly and at the recommended dosage. Reapply if heavy rain has occurred. Consider if the animal pressure is unusually high, which may require a more robust or combined deterrent strategy.

Product effectiveness seems reduced after rain.

While weather-resistant, prolonged or heavy rainfall can reduce effectiveness. Reapply the gel after such weather events to restore the deterrent barrier.

Unpleasant odor noticed by humans.

The repellent scent is designed for animals. If it is noticeable and bothersome to humans, ensure the application is not overly concentrated and is applied at the intended locations (e.g., borders, not in high-traffic human areas).
