Amazing Product if you know how to use!
By Christian in Alexandria, Virginia on 12/27/2014

Squirrels Love It

I have used an entire tube of DeTour Bio-Repellent on the post of a large bird feeder with no results. Well one squirrel did leave a piece of his tail behind.
Does not work
By Mike in New York on 07/18/2014
Does not work, yet it leaves dirty residue all over your house.This product was extremely disappointing.
Expert response:
We're sorry that the product was a disappointment let us send you a video on how to use the product. The way this product works is you want to place it where the rats have the best chances to get the gel on their feet. The DETOUR GEL needs to be applied in areas that cannot be touch by children or pets. So usually those are areas that a non-porous tile can be used. It's not supposed to be applied all over your house its not like spaying an insect repellant all-around your home. Place the product in the area where you see the rat activity and urine trails or feces trail. The rats have poor vision and usually like to run along the walls. Its also recommended to place a little bit of peanut butter on the middle of a tile. And then to the press the peanut butter firmly on to the tile.
No help

This works great for me!!
By John in Coppell, Texas on 01/29/2017
I have had to use this a couple of times and it works. The squirrels/rats are gone in a couple of days. This gets them out of your house without killing them but they don't come back. This is humane f…

We have used this product for several years. We use it to deter river otters but it would likely work for other critters. They have not been back since. This is our second order. Quick delivery, p…
