Has anyone used this to successfully repel prairie dogs?

I am a Middle state, east coast resident. If I start seeing prairie dogs in my area, then I may start believing in the "climate change" theory. Those doggone dogs are everywhere. Good Luck!

All I can say is that it doesn't work indoors so I didn't put it outdoors. The other brands of outdoor sonic repellers I tried did not work either. Since I have no pets, I was able to have an exterminator put poison around and seal openings in the house.

It is activated day and night, but does not seem to stop the critters. I'm getting better results with a small animal repellant composed of natural ingredients.

The only other birds I have seen use this are Titmouse, it defiantly foils the pesky birds I have. Try it, you love it.

I used it last year (the one that hooks to the hose) to get rid of sand burrs. It did! It killed them and left the grass. We have since moved, and I am now using it on poison ivy & poison oak. So far it is doing the job. I also used this brand for ticks (the bug version that hooks to the hose), and it worked wonders! I get this brand for under $8 at our local W*****t and trust them to do the job.

Since the Pest-a-Cator doesn't affect dogs, I'm not sure if it would be effective on raccoons or 'possums. I read that it will deter squirrels in attics if set up properly, however. Try contacting the manufacturer via their web site (also see their FAQ's); perhaps they can give you a better idea if the product might work for raccoons. It has worked well for our mouse problem!

No, this spray must be used on the animal to stop it's behavior. It does not work when sprayed on fences, etc.

I got it to repel insects and it does not seem to work well for that. Not sure about mice, tho.

I used this in a raised bed, some large containers, and around some newly planted plants. It seemed to help keep the critters out of those, but I think it would take a truckload to work around my fence, and eventually the rain washes it away. On my fence I have tried putting a one-foot-wide chicken wire topper to discourage them climbing over, tree tanglefoot spread on the chainlink, spraying with garlic oil, spraying with orange oil, even aluminum foil. I just purchased an electric fence charger and wire from amazon and will be installing that near the top of the fence. Maybe THAT will stop the raccoons.

http://www.cedarcidestore.com/natural_pest_control.html There's a video and the instructions for dilution. We've used this product to fight fleas in our yard/garden stones area. It WORKS! :-) We also saw a decrease in ticks!

Works fine Michelle.....removed one of the Northeast Pa deer ticks just today from my dogs leg. Suggest you add a small magnifying glass to your tick kit so as to determine the back end. The taper of the removal slot goes down to nearly razor thickness. it does go under them....just draw back and gently lift up and "click", out they come.

I treated my lawn last year and sprinkled it among my roses and rose of Sharon-they LOVE to MULTI-MATE in the new opening roses--I HATE Japanese beetles!!! I also squish any I can get my hands on-literally- and have also found a direct blast of raid will kill the beetles already on your plants. the treatment did seem to work on the grass. 2 yrs. ago they were SO invasive; last year not quite as bad. I've only seen a couple this year-so far! good luck.

We used havahart critter ridder on skunks that forage on our yard. It seems to work for awhile, but they got used to the smell or the water from the sprinkler system washed it out. If it worked, it was only temporary. And then, they were back......

No, it seemed to work for a while, but the animals got used to it. you need a ton of it and have to reapply constantly. I have quit using this product. I bought those high frequency sound tubes you stick down into the ground. They emit what sounds like a distress call and sends the critters in the other direction. They aren't foolproof, but better than anything else I have ever used for squirrels, moles etc. I only saw 1 squirrel in my yard last summer. Hope this helps.

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.

All of the above, lol. I was using it but turned out mine is a rat. It didnt work. I just bought Rodent Defense for rats we'll see how that goes. I believe if it had of been mice it may have worked. Good luck with your issue.

The problem I see is being able to hold it steady enough at that range but will do the job. It will track on and off target so you will know dhen you range prairie dog with distance comparison. Hope this helps it is great range finder
