Do you love your yard, but hate seeing your hard work get eaten up by garden pests? Maybe you are planning your garden and want to keep the rabbits, groundhogs, squirrels and other small animals from eating all your carrots and nibbling on your tomatoes. Ortho® Animal B Gon® Animal Repellent has a great no stink formula product that uses essential oils and delivers long lasting, rain resistant performance. These essential oils provide an effective way to keep small animals away from your lawn and garden. What smells nice to people actually confuses animals with a "wrong" scent, so they'll go somewhere else to find a place to eat.
