This product was the ultimate mistake because it did not keep anything away except humans because it smells so bad as far as fending off animals I do not know any thing that this may have chased away as I watched Dogs, Cats, Coons, Possum's, and Birds approach the treated area so if you want to purchase a product to do absolutley nothing then this would be the good choice. I was forced to put at least 1 star if I could I would rate it at -5
