Ready-to-use Pepper Dust can be used to keep animals off seed beds, recent plantings, drives, dustbins, paths & patios in a cost effective, easy-to-use form. Pepper Dust works by confusing the animals sense of taste & smell to ensure that it will stay off the areas you wish to protect. For best results it is important that all animal droppings & smells are removed prior to using all deterrent products. Animal smells can be broken down by treating the area with a weak detergent solution. Children & pets need not be excluded from treated areas. Contains pepper. Apply at the first signs of unwanted animal fouling activity. How to Use: The pepper can be applied directly from the pack to the area to be treated. A repeat application will be needed twice a week at the rates recommended on the packet.
