Keep Off Dog & Cat Repellent Spray 750mL – Non-Toxic, Sprays Directly on Plants

Keep Off Dog & Cat Repellent Spray 750mL: Non-Toxic Pet Deterrent

Keep Off Spray is a ready-to-use, non-toxic repellent that trains dogs and cats to keep away from the areas you want left alone. Unlike a scatter granule, this is a liquid you spray straight onto the spot, including directly onto plants, which makes it handy for garden beds, paths, patios, borders and entry points. It won't harm humans, pets or plants when used as directed, and it's Australian owned and made.

How the Spray Works

The active constituent is aluminium ammonium sulphate at 50g/L, a well-known taste and scent deterrent. It makes treated surfaces and foliage taste and smell unpleasant to dogs and cats, so they learn to avoid the area rather than being harmed by it. Spraying also helps mask the residual scent of previous toileting, which is the thing that normally keeps drawing an animal back to the same spot. Used consistently, it works as a training aid, gradually retraining pets to go elsewhere.

How to Use It

Start by cleaning the area, removing any droppings and hosing away urine, since the leftover scent is what pulls animals back. Shake the bottle well, set the nozzle to spray, and apply a fine, even mist liberally over the spot, whether that's a garden bed, path, patio or an entry point. Let it dry for around 20 minutes before letting pets back into the area. At first, reapply daily while the animal is learning, and keep it up over the training period. Most pets take around four to six weeks of consistent use to break the habit, and longer-term visitors or young puppies can take a little more.

Safe to Spray Directly on Plants

This is one of the spray's main advantages. A lot of deterrents can't go on foliage, but Keep Off Spray can be applied directly to plants without harming them, so you can treat the exact bed, border or pot a dog or cat keeps targeting. It's still worth avoiding direct spray on leather, and testing a small area first before spraying onto furniture or decking where staining could be a concern.

Reapplying and Weather

Because this is a liquid spray, rain and watering will wash it off over time, so you'll need to reapply after wet weather to keep the deterrent working. If you're after something that holds up through rain without reapplying, the Keep Off crystals are built for that, with the repellent locked into water-absorbing crystals. The spray trades that weather durability for the ability to treat plants and surfaces precisely.

Spray or Crystals: Which Keep Off to Choose

Both are Keep Off, but they work differently. This spray uses aluminium ammonium sulphate and is applied as a mist, so it's the one to reach for when you want to treat plants directly or target a specific surface, bed or entry point. The 400g Keep Off crystals use a perfumed repellent held in weatherproof crystals and are scattered over an area, which suits a spot you want to protect through rain and heat without reapplying as often. Many people use the spray for foliage and precise spots and the crystals for open ground.

Is It Safe?

Keep Off Spray is non-toxic and won't harm humans, pets or plants when used as directed. Keep children and pets away during application and let it dry before they return. Wash your hands after use, and store it somewhere cool and dry.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Keep Off spray work?
Its active, aluminium ammonium sulphate, makes treated surfaces and plants taste and smell unpleasant to dogs and cats, and helps mask the scent of previous toileting. Over about four to six weeks of consistent use, pets learn to avoid the area.

Can I spray it directly on my plants?
Yes. It can be applied straight onto foliage without harming the plant, which is one of the main reasons to choose the spray over a scatter product. Avoid spraying leather, and test furniture or decking first for staining.

How do I use it?
Clean the area first, then shake and mist it evenly over the spot, including plants if needed. Let it dry for about 20 minutes before pets return, and reapply regularly while they're learning to stay away.

How often do I reapply?
Daily at first while training the animal, and again after rain or watering, since the spray washes off over time.

Does it work in the rain?
As a liquid, it washes off in rain and needs reapplying afterwards. If you want a version that keeps working through wet weather without reapplying, the Keep Off crystals are designed for that.

What's the difference between the spray and the crystals?
The spray uses aluminium ammonium sulphate and is misted onto plants and surfaces, ideal for precise or foliage treatment. The 400g crystals use a perfumed repellent in weatherproof crystals, scattered over ground you want protected through rain and heat.

Is it safe for my pets, children and plants?
Yes, it's non-toxic and won't harm them when used as directed. Keep kids and pets away during application and let it dry before they come back.
