Product Information
Full details
Vitax Stay Off Rabbit Repellent is designed for gardeners and homeowners seeking a humane, non-toxic method to protect their flowerbeds, vegetable patches, and lawns from rabbit damage. By utilizing a specialized odor that triggers a natural fear response, it creates an invisible barrier that effectively discourages rabbits from entering protected zones without causing them harm. While highly effective at safeguarding your greenery, users should note that the product requires reapplication every 6 to 8 weeks to maintain its protective potency throughout the growing season.

FAQs
Is this product harmful to pets?
No, it is a non-toxic repellent designed to trigger a scent-based fear response in rabbits, making it safe for use in residential gardens.
How often should I reapply the granules?
For optimal protection, reapply every 6 to 8 weeks or sooner if you experience heavy rainfall.
Will I smell the repellent in my garden?
No, the product is specifically formulated to be undetectable to humans.
Can I use this directly on edible crops?
The repellent should be applied in a band around the perimeter of the crop area, not directly onto the leaves of edible plants.
Does it work on other animals besides rabbits?
This product is specifically formulated as a rabbit repellent.
How does the nitrogen affect my plants?
The nitrogen content acts as a mild fertilizer, which can help promote plant growth and improve the color of your lawn.
Troubleshooting
Rabbits are still entering the protected area.
Ensure the barrier is continuous; any gaps or 'breaks' in the band will allow rabbits to bypass the deterrent.
Product effectiveness seems to fade quickly.
Check if there has been excessive rainfall in your area, as heavy water saturation can dilute the repellent scent. Reapply if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Application is straightforward: simply sprinkle the granules directly from the 500g container to form a continuous strip around the area you wish to protect. For best results, ensure the ground is relatively clear of debris before application. The product is compatible with most garden soil types and plant varieties.
To ensure continued success, monitor your garden after significant weather events. While the formula is designed to withstand normal conditions, heavy downpours may wash away the scent barrier, necessitating a light touch-up. Always store the container in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is tightly sealed to maintain the potency of the repellent scent.
