Does this have a bad odor to it? I've heard of some people say there is but would like to know from people here who purchased and used the product.

Yes, there is. It's really what keep the deer away. However, it is not an overly powerful smell. You don't really notice it until you are close to it.

It does have a bad odor straight out of the bag, but once you've added it to your soil it's not noticeable at all. It's not a lingering odor in your garden/yard, if that's what you're concerned about. And I must say this product works very well; I definitely recommend it!

As others have stated, there's no smell once applied to lawn. The instructions do suggest to wash hands thoroughly and do not inhale dust from it but that's common sense. It works really well and won't burn grass. You won't be dissappointed.

Yes, milorganite has a strong fertilizer smell. But I don't think any plant fertilizer does not smell. I have used milorganite along with other fertilizers and I really like it. Overall it improves the quality of the soil, makes it richer. I have earthworms in areas where I have been using milorganite. I do not use it exclusively, though.

It has a strange odor, but not bad per se. Like some vitamins have a strange odor. It did make my grass greener and the odor didn't linger after watering.

Yes there is an odor but only noticeable during storage. I keep it in the garage and didn't close the package, the odor isn't as strong as cow manure. When applied on my grass, I don't notice the smell.

It smells like a sewer. As this product is actually sewer sludge, it does smell accordingly. Your bigger concern should be the fact that it contains pathogens (disease causing organisms) and coliform (the bacteria from human waste) and heavy metals (from industrial waste). I doubt the bag shows this but the MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) info shows it.

If you apply it heavier than it is suggested then you will smell it until it becomes watered in. It is not normally noticeable. I use it heavy around trees and can smell it at times but not usually to much on the lawn. It is a fertilizer and they tend to smell a bit...

I haven't noticed that it has an exceptionally strong odor but of course smell is kind of subjective. It's always been an excellent product in my experience.

No odor on mine...the fit is a bit loose when I bought 7 months ago and now the edges is really giving way and dirt is getting in the sides. The only reason I bought this is the magnetic stand behind it which makes it very handy.

Can't say that I had this experience, but I would not be concerned. Everyone has different sensitivities to smell, but I can tell you I have had mine installed for the past two months, and it is great....would highly recommend this product.

Mine had a little odor when arrived. I left it open for a few days then it's gone.

Mine had the odor for maybe a couple days but if you use it frequently, the odor goes away. I try to run it with the "COOL" setting off for a few minutes before shutting it down when I am done with it. That seems to work for me as I haven't had any odor from it for weeks.

No, mines didn't have any Odor to it. I put it on as soon as it got delivered to my house and slept fine that very night and I'm very sensitive to scents.

I think it should not smell bad, or not smell at all. I say anything that smells really bad (like spoiled)--Trash it...

Hi- I had no odor with mine. I really like it but it is very firm so if you don't like firm you should pass

No, it shouldn't smell that way. You should ask for an exchange. Mine came with no smell and I love it - so quiet!

I didn't notice any odor when I used it for an entire day at the Mall of New Hampshire a month ago nor in my room I store it in. I'm pretty sensitive to scents, fragrances or odors of any kind, because I get a migraine, but it seems good to me. However, you might be sensitive to something that I am not. I do use this stuff called "Zero Odor" to get rid of scents on things. Their web site is www.ZeroOdor.com and phone 800-526-2967. Hope this helps.

I did not like this myself, I do not know if this is from the same seller, but when I received there was a horrible smell, so I contacted the seller, and found out they only accepted returns if it was defective. so it was a big to do, and would of cost more to send it back thank, because I had to pay restocking fee, and plus postage. so I threw it away, hope this helps

I did not notice the odor and it does not smell now. I know what you are talking about though and have found if you have a product that smells like this leave it in a sealed container for a couple days with a small bowl of baking soda.

No -- I did not smell any odor from it. I worked fast and I was very comfortable using it. I have been "organic for years -- this is a great product.

I did not detect an odor while I used it. You may have some issues with that particular batch. Probably best to contact the supplier.
