Fend off unwelcome visits from strays or keep your own pets from marking and digging in landscaping. Pets like to habitually visit the same areas to perform their “duties” and instinctually seek those familiar animal scents. Liquid Fence® Dog & Cat Repellent contains citronella oil, eugenol, garlic oil, cinnamon oil and geraniol to mask those familiar odors. The lack of familiar scents repels dogs and cats from treated areas. One treatment is effective for at least a week. To break a pattern of habitual behavior, apply more frequently.
