How to Use Natural Animal Repellent

Using a natural animal repellent correctly is the key to protecting your home, garden, landscaping, and outdoor living spaces from nuisance animals. The goal is to create a protective scent barrier that encourages animals to avoid treated areas before they can cause damage.

Natural Armor All-Natural Animal Repellent is a ready-to-use peppermint oil formula that requires no mixing. Simply shake the container well and apply it where nuisance animals are active or likely to enter.

Step 1: Identify Problem Areas

Before spraying, look for signs of animal activity around your property, such as:

• Chewed plants or flowers

• Animal droppings

• Burrows or nests

• Digging in mulch or gardens

• Damage to landscaping

• Animal trails or entry points

Treating these areas early can help prevent additional damage.

Step 2: Shake Well Before Use

Natural Armor All-Natural Animal Repellent should be shaken well before each use to ensure the ingredients are evenly mixed for consistent application.

Step 3: Spray the Areas You Want to Protect

Apply the product generously to create a protective barrier around areas where nuisance animals are feeding, traveling, or nesting.

Common application areas include:

• Gardens

• Flower beds

• Landscaping

• Trees and shrubs

• Yards

• Home foundations

• Patios and decks

• Garages

• Sheds

• Attics

• Garbage storage areas

• RVs and outdoor structures

The objective is to treat the perimeter and problem areas so animals encounter the scent before entering.

Step 4: Allow the Area to Dry

After application, allow the treated surfaces to dry before allowing normal activity in the area. Always follow the label directions for best results.

Step 5: Reapply as Needed

Natural Armor All-Natural Animal Repellent can provide protection for up to 90 days under normal conditions. However, rainfall, irrigation, weather exposure, and heavy animal activity may reduce its effectiveness.

Inspect treated areas regularly and reapply whenever the protective scent barrier begins to fade.

Tips for Best Results

To maximize effectiveness:

• Apply before animals establish nesting or feeding habits.

• Spray all likely entry points, not just areas where damage has already occurred.

• Create a continuous barrier around the area you want to protect.

• Reapply after heavy rain or prolonged wet weather.

• Continue applications during periods of high animal activity.

Consistent application is often more effective than waiting until animals have already become comfortable in an area.
