Harbors Cat Scratch and Chewing Deterrent Spray - 4 oz / 118 ml | Formulated with Essential Oils | 100% Satisfied or Return

This worked great for me. I have 2 cats that climb my Christmas tree, knock it over, and chew the wires from the light strands. I used this and after 3 days they stopped messing with the tree completely. I’m very happy. I have ordered 2 bottles, one for Christmas 2019 and one for 2020. At $20 a bottle it is not cheap. But I only get it once a year and it’s worth not having them mess up the tree everyday. It comes with 2 nozzles, a pump action and a trigger action. I use a generous amount so the trigger action is better. The trigger nozzle came with a piece installed that prevented it from working. It would make sense if that nozzle came installed on the bottle and you didn’t want it to spray accidentally in transit, but it came on the side with the pump nozzle installed on the bottle. I only bring this up because it took me 10 minutes of fiddling with it to figure out a piece had to be removed for the trigger nozzle to work. There were no instructions and it was not obvious. I feel like if I didn’t have an engineering background I wouldn’t have figured it out. Pretty sure 90% of the people will think the nozzle is broken and throw it away. Instructions would be helpful for sure. The piece is horizontally installed behind the trigger. It keeps the trigger from moving. It comes apart in 2 pieces. I used the pump last year and it takes longer to spray down the whole tree. The trigger is so much better. Like I mentioned before, I spray a generous amount. Use almost an entire bottle during Christmas, 2x daily. The smell is so very strong tho. It’s not bad, but over powering. Takes a good 30 minutes to go away. But like I said, I spray a lot. The first couple days the cats still messed with the tree when I first start spraying, but after 3 days of 2x a day heavy spraying they leave it alone completely. I recommend it, at least for protecting a Christmas tree. Probably works for other stuff too. Just don’t spray the tree when the family is planning to chill around it. Wait until everyone is out of the room or folks my complain.

We applied to our outdoor couch/ table as we wanted a place for us to have dinner without so much cat's hair on it, from the first application our cat doesn't get close to this area, and also stopped scratching the couch. On day 3 I forgot to apply the product in the morning and she was smelling and checking the couch out. We are on day 5 applying 3x a day. Not sure if once we stop applying she will stay out honestly but the manufacturer says you need to apply 3x a day for 7 days so, I will update the review after that. Ps I don't have the pillows on the couch either, I am curious if I put the pillows the temptation may be greater than the unpleasant smells for my cat? hopefully not :) Update: Don't waste your money or time. I can't understand the good ratings. Maybe nobody came to update. The fact is after a week or 2 my cat just got used to the smell and as soon as it faced a bit she would jump right there. So Unless you are willing to keep using the product like every hour maybe forever this will not work... I bought 2 of these and always the spray stops working about half way to the end of the product... really annoying..... anyway dont recommend this unfortunately didnt work for me

First off, I need to say that my 2 little rugrats are extremely curious, and tenacious. Although I followed the directions for over a week, this had no effect at all. The scent did not bother them at all. This may work for the average feline, I don't know. The Bengal breed is very different in most instances for the normal domestic cat. I would not recommend this for Bengal owners. Personally, I found the scent appealing. Ot fod not stain the natural wood walls of my house, or any other areas of my home. The product was delivered quickly, and intact. In the end, I ended up just training them with the old fashioned positive reward system, and making absolutely sure they always had a positive way to exspend their energy , which is usually the reason for misbehaviour from any kitten, or cat. There is no substitute for attention.

This works okay. I made sure to follow the directions and let the scent build, but usually it seems like more of an annoyance to my cat than an actual repellent. I think it's better than nothing, as my cat will avoid the area I spray for about half an hour to an hour right after I spray, which can be enough that she loses interest in whatever I didn't want her near; but even trying to build up the scent doesn't seem to work long term. It also leaves an oily residue, so I'm not sure I'd recommend it if you're trying to get your cat to avoid nice furniture - I haven't had any stains, but nice wood or fabric might be affected differently. UPDATE: I've added a star because this is the only thing I have that will keep my cat out of my artificial Christmas tree. I still don't think it works as a "training supplement" (or whatever it's advertised as) because there really aren't any long term effects, but it does deter her from climbing into the tree immediately after spraying, which is usually enough to get her to lose interest for a while.

I first applied two spritzs to the base of a plant my cat likes to chew on... just to see how things go. The stench that came from just two squirts, was horrific! It stunk up the entire lower level of the house, and made my kitchen (where the plant was) an unappetizing dead zone. It took me two weeks to air out the house (during a hot summer too, making it more difficult to open windows). This was one application! I cannot even begin to fathom the toxic quarantine my entire house would turn into by doing "2-3 applications PER DAY"... yikes. I have to hand it to them, it is "3 in 1": 1: Appetite suppressor. You will feel sick the entire time before you air out your house. 2: In-laws ejector. If you want to get rid of some pesky visiting in-laws, spray this! 3: Cat repellant. My cat kept to the upstairs the entire time. She was so annoyed by the smell... so I guess it does work as a cat repellant.

This is the best cat repellent I have ever used. Cats were using a carpeted hallway as their dumping ground, both liquid and solid. I tried cleaning the carpet and putting out pads for them to use but often they would find an area without a pad and go there. I started spraying the area three times a day and noticed a dramatic reduction. I'm now treating in the morning and evening. Incidents are now rare but I continue treating with the belief that the cats will become fully trained and my problem will be eliminated. The product has a very pleasant smell to humans but apparently not to cats. I had one concern I communicated to the manufacturer. After a few days the spray bottle would stop working. I received a prompt and overwhelming response. Acknowledging others had reported the same problem they determined the spray mixture was too thick causing plugging of the spray bottle. They sent me two spray nozzles to replace the ones I had problems with and sent me two larger 8 oz spray bottles with a thinner carrier containing the same active ingredient. I have had no problems with these new bottles. The people in this organization are top notch.

I had high hopes and they were quickly deflated. The scent is nice, however it does nothing to repel the kittens. I'm pretty sure the kittens laugh as I spray it, then continue to jump on the counter. The pump stopped working on day 2. So now I'm stuck with a broken pumper and a bottle of spray that does nothing. Extremely disappointed. I really wanted this product to work. *** Updated: Mark reached out to me about my order. He replaced the broken pump and sent a new bottle. He was in constant contact with me about my order & when the new items would arrive. I greatly appreciate the fact that he took time to reach out & fix the issues I was having. Although it's still not deterring my kittens, I really like how it smells. The kittens are learning that when they see the bottle, they need to jump down off the counters. So, in a way, it is working I guess. It was a pleasure working with Mark through this. He really was helpful & never rude. It's nice to see a company stand behind their products.

I have a 4 month old kitten who had a desire to scratch at the carpet in my apartment and likes to explore our Christmas tree. This product works so well! It has a pleasant herbal smell for me but clearly not a scent that my cat enjoys. She hasn't scratched at the carpet since I've sprayed this (I sprayed it a few times to refresh the scent). This product does work best on things where it can sink in. So it's not the best at keeping her off the Christmas tree but it is an aid in teaching her that's not her cat tree. I've just bought my second bottle of this (you can go through this quickly for the price) but I think its worth it. Definitely recommend and will continue to purchase.

Compre dos frascos y no funcionó mi gato siguió rasguñando los muebles y orinandolos, cuando se terminó el primer frasco supuse que no era suficiente y compre otro más pero ya agoté la mitad del segundo frasco t no funcionó nada.

I rarely write reviews, but I am absolutely shocked and genuinely delighted by this cat scratch repellant. I feel like I've tried every single product on the market over the years—sprays, sticky tape, deterrent mats, aluminum foil—and nothing, and I mean nothing, has ever worked consistently. My cats have always found a way around or simply ignored the supposed deterrents. This product is a complete game-changer. My main issue at this time of year is always protecting our 15ft Christmas tree. Last year, it was a disaster with my two cats treating it like a personal jungle gym. As soon as I set the tree up this holiday season, I followed the directions and sprayed a light coating of this repellant on the floor around the base of the stand and on the lower branches. The results? Immediate and total success. My cats haven't even sniffed the tree, let alone tried to climb it. They don't even seem interested in paying attention to it at all! It's an absolute miracle. I was fully expecting to find them perched on a branch, but this spray has completely blocked their curiosity. If you have stubborn cats and are skeptical like I was, please give this a try. It is the first and only cat repellant I have ever used that delivered on its promise. Highest possible recommendation!

I haven't seen any improvement in the behaviour of my cats even after spraying and using for a month!

Did not work in the slightest on either of my two cats despite applying the product very generously to the desired areas. Whether it was applied to a small bathroom carpet, chair, or door entrance, my cats did not seem deterred whatsoever.

Not conducive for dogs soil couldn't use it. This should be said
