Will this product work on wicker patio furniture to deter squirels or will the stench just deter us from using the furniture?

This product is designed to be sprayed on leaves, stems, flowers and branches to deter squirrels, rabbits and deer. It should not be applied directly to hard surfaces such such as patio furniture.

The smell will probably last longer on furniture, so I would test a pillow or something you are willing to discard. It definitely has deterred the deer, though. Nice to have my roses and cherry tree looking beautiful.

I have never detected an odor. Just unwrap, straighten stake included, put on stake and stick in ground. Space according to directions. Nothing to be activated. Works for us.

I am currently trying it for rabbits ... doesn't seem to be keeping them out of my garden.Also, be aware it is very stinky and red in color so it will stain.

Actually, no. It is a nice product, but not that effective. The odor will linger; kind of cinnamon and clove, so it is all natural ingredients. Make sure there is no food around your front porch, even bird seed.

It took the odor out of wood cabinets with a terrible mildew smell, but it took a long time. Since leather is also porous, it might. At the very least, it might make the odor less.

I really think it will. It's quite good at neutralizing smells. Although I think I read somewhere that a bowl of white vinegar will kill these smells as well. You might want to search this as an interim solution.

Hello Katrina...I haven't personally used it but I was recommended to use "Goof-off"... You can find it at any home depot.I would suggest you try the product on hidden section of your furniture to ensure no damage is done to the furniture as you apply it.Sorry for the delayed reply and good luck.

This is evidently a general pesticide and it does work on anything that crawls through it. I would be worried about having it out in the open if it you have pets. Treat it with respect! The warnings on the label are very strong!

I won't put it on my lawn because its intended use is for wood and other areas where it can soak into and keep them from biting into it. The taste is horrible and retained in the product. Animals will not bite there or near again. I spray it on the wooden raised bed garden OUTSIDE so it does not get onto my veggies. ALL animals are repelled so far. My house is solid brick except the upper level is cedar. I was told cedar repels animals. No so. I watched them run up a tree and across my attached garage and dig into the side of my bedroom wall. Sprayed, patched (including put in some rough steel wool) and they never returned. Screws hold better than nails. Ropel does have a punchy smell if sprayed onto attic insulation. It isn't permanent. I did spray the tree a bit. Critter Ridder (spelling?) is best when placed in your rocks and area landscaping but not on anything living (some put on lawn edge). It is smelly. Supplement them with ammonia if you can stand it and set some humane traps if you can. Good luck. They are smart pesky critters.

I'm not sure if this will work if something has soaked into the wood. You may want to try a solution of diluted vinegar and water and maybe put an opened box of baking soda in there for a bit. I've also heard that plain charcoal will help absorb odors.

We have only used this product within a "bark collar" for outside activity. The bark collar sprays the citronella when our pup barks to remind her that she is doing so. I do not believe it can be sprayed on furniture.

The pet formula has enzymes that help remove pet odors and deter pets from resoiling in that spot. It's excellent at killing pet odors. (My cat peed in the air duct and it got rid of the ammonia smell.) It's also not green. You can spray it on carpet, furniture, etc and it won't leave any discoloration. I'm not sure you can do that with regular simple green. The smell is very nice. Not strong like regular simple green, and not chemical smelling. I HIGHLY recommend this stuff if you have pets.

We never used it for that purpose so I don't really know. We have seen a raccoon that went after birdfeeders and trash cans, but I never thought to spray for that purpose. I think a strong mint oder repels raccoons. This product has a light mint scent so it might be worth a try, but I can't really say it would work as well as it has for deer damaging plants in our yard.

The product is odorless, or at least I didn't detect any odor. It worked beautifully on my antique oak table. Re-apply 2nd or 3rd treatment if the wood is very dry as mine was. It's a great product!

I think it's worth a try. Basically, they will think a den of foxes has moved in. It's important to follow the directions in terms of "marking your territory" and you should see results pdq. The, uh, odor, dissipates quickly, so don't let that deter you. I've just ordered more in my ongoing battle with the Fekking Squirrel. Hahahaaa

I have found it to be amazingly helpful in many apps for many plants, I must assume it would work for smelly old boxwoods as well. Sorry, my kids insist , as do I, that ours smell like feline urine. (not from feral cats..)

That's hard to say. It has an awful odor and doesn't taste so great. Perhaps if you saturated some type of fabric and left it on the roof, it might work. Have you checked out methods of bear-proofing - boards with nails sticking up, etc.?
