Multicrop Keep Off contains a highly perfumed repellent which cats and dogs find offensive. It confuses their sense of smell and also masks the residual odour of any previous excrement or urine, which would normally attract them. Over a period of three to four weeks, animals can be trained to avoid the treated areas.
Traditional "repellents" are usually not very successful. They may work for a few hours or not at all! When it rains, the repellent may be washed away. In hot weather, the repellent may evaporate.
Multicrop KEEP OFF crystals are different! The repellent is suspended in the crystals, which are jelly-like when saturated with water. When it rains, the crystals absorb more water and grow; they are not washed away. In hot weather, the crystals dry out, but the repellent stays "locked in" to be released next time it rains or when you water.
For best results, use Multicrop KEEP OFF as directed on the label. First, remove any animal excrement and then thoroughly hose the area to flush away any remaining urine. Apply crystals sparingly. Repeat the entire procedure every few days until undesirable habits have been broken.
It may take longer to discourage animals that have been visiting for an extended period. Young puppies can take longer to respond. Certain gardening materials, such as blood and bone, can be a strong attraction for cats and dogs. This may overpower the effectiveness of the repellent.
