Bonine Animal Repellent Granules — 3 lb Pack of 2, scent-and-taste barrier, protects gardens up to 60 days

Bonide Repel Granules are a scent- and taste-based animal repellent in granular form that discourages nuisance wildlife from gardens and planting areas without harming animals, with each application lasting up to 60 days.

These Bonide Repel Granules come as a convenient 3-pound bag sold in a pack of two, designed to protect flowerbeds, vegetable patches, lawns, and around trees and shrubs. The formula works by creating an unpleasant sensory barrier — odor, taste and mild nasal/eye irritation — that encourages animals to move away from treated areas. Because the product is a granule, it’s easy to apply, blends into soil and mulch, and holds effectiveness through several weather cycles when used as directed.

How does Bonide Repel Granules keep wildlife away from my garden?

The granules emit odors and flavors animals find disagreeable, and the formulation may cause brief sensory discomfort in noses and eyes that deters repeat visits. This non-lethal approach trains animals to avoid treated zones while leaving plants unharmed when granules are applied correctly.

• Active sensory deterrents: smell and taste-based barrier
• Works on a wide range of nuisance animals such as skunks, raccoons, squirrels and chipmunks
• Non-harmful to animals when used according to label instructions

How long will a single application last, and how often should I reapply?

Each application of Bonide Repel Granules can remain effective for up to 60 days under typical conditions. Reapply sooner after heavy rain, irrigation, or soil disturbance to maintain protection; follow label guidelines for seasonal timing and coverage rates.

• Typical residual activity: up to 60 days per application
• Reapply after heavy rainfall or when granules are buried or removed
• Adjust frequency during high wildlife activity seasons or in new planting areas

Where and how should I apply these granules for the best results?

Scatter the granules around the perimeter of beds, along fence lines, or directly on soil and mulch around vulnerable plants. Apply to dry surfaces and lightly rake in if needed; avoid placing granules directly on edible produce and follow any pre-harvest guidelines printed on the product label.

• Ideal spots: garden edges, planting rows, around trees and ornamental beds
• Application tips: apply to dry soil or mulch and avoid over-application
• Safety note: do not apply directly to fruits and vegetables; follow label precautions

Is this safe to use around pets, children and beneficial wildlife?

Bonide’s granule formula is designed to repel without causing lasting harm to animals when used as directed, but it’s important to follow label instructions and common-sense precautions around people and pets. Store granules out of reach, keep children and pets away from freshly treated areas until granules are settled or watered in per instructions, and avoid applying on areas where pets routinely groom themselves.

• Non-lethal formulation intended to discourage animals rather than injure them
• Keep product stored securely and follow on-label safety precautions
• Limit direct contact for pets and children until granules are no longer loose

This two-pack of 3-pound Bonide Repel Granules suits small- to medium-sized gardens, perimeter treatments, or repeated seasonal use for ongoing protection without complex traps or exclusion systems.
