KEEP OFF Dog & Cat Repellent 400g – Weatherproof Non-Toxic Pet Deterrent

KEEP OFF Dog & Cat Repellent 400g: Weatherproof Pet Deterrent

KEEP OFF is a non-toxic dog and cat repellent that trains pets to stay out of the areas you want left alone, like garden beds, paths and patios. It's built around a highly perfumed repellent that cats and dogs find off-putting, held inside water-absorbing crystals that stand up to weather far better than a plain scattered granule. It's easy to use, safe around people, pets and plants, and it's Australian owned and made.

How Keep Off Works

Dogs and cats have a much sharper sense of smell than we do. KEEP OFF uses a strong perfumed repellent that works on that sense in two ways: it makes the treated area unpleasant to them, and it helps mask the residual scent of previous toileting, which is the thing that normally keeps drawing an animal back to the same spot. It doesn't harm the animal, it just makes the area one they'd rather avoid, and with repeated use it retrains the habit.

Why It Keeps Working in All Weather

This is where KEEP OFF differs from an ordinary repellent. A lot of deterrents work for a few hours, or fail the first time it rains or gets hot. In KEEP OFF, the repellent is suspended in crystals that turn jelly-like once they take up water. When it rains, the crystals absorb the water and swell rather than washing away. In hot, dry weather they dry out, but the repellent stays locked inside, ready to be released again the next time it rains or you water the spot. That's what lets it keep working across changing conditions instead of disappearing after the first downpour.

How to Use Keep Off

For the best result, start by cleaning the area. Remove any droppings and hose away any urine, so you're not fighting against a scent that's actively attracting the animal. Then apply the crystals sparingly over the target spot. Repeat every few days at first, and keep it up while the animal is learning to stay away. Close the container between uses so the repellent doesn't fade, and store it somewhere cool and dry.

How Long It Takes

Some animals respond straight away, while others take time. As a general guide, allow around three to four weeks of consistent use to retrain an animal's behaviour. Pets that have been visiting a spot for a long time, or young puppies, can take longer to get the message, so stick with it and reapply regularly through that period.

Where to Use It

KEEP OFF suits a range of spots around the home and garden, including garden beds, paths, patios, borders and other areas you want to keep pets away from. It works well as a perimeter around a spot you're trying to protect, or directly on a patch an animal keeps returning to.

Is It Safe?

KEEP OFF is non-toxic and cannot harm humans, pets or plants when used as directed. The scent is strong to a dog or cat but isn't offensive to people. As with any repellent, apply it sparingly, follow the label, and keep children and pets away while you're putting it down.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does KEEP OFF work?
It uses a strong perfumed repellent that dogs and cats find unpleasant, and which also masks the leftover scent of previous toileting. That combination makes the treated area one they'd rather avoid, and over time it breaks the habit of returning.

Does it still work when it rains?
Yes, and this is its main strength. The repellent sits inside crystals that absorb water and swell rather than washing away. In dry heat the crystals dry out but hold the repellent in, releasing it again the next time it rains or you water the area.

How do I use it?
Clean the spot first, removing droppings and hosing off any urine, then scatter the crystals sparingly over the area. Reapply every few days while the animal is learning to stay away.

How long before it works?
Some pets respond immediately, but allow around three to four weeks of consistent use to fully retrain behaviour. Long-term visitors and young puppies can take a little longer.

Is it safe for my pets, children and plants?
Yes. It's non-toxic and won't harm people, pets or plants when used as directed. Apply it sparingly and keep kids and pets away while you're applying it.

What's the difference between KEEP OFF and Skedaddle?
Both are Multicrop dog and cat repellents. KEEP OFF holds its repellent in water-absorbing crystals designed to keep working through rain and heat, while Skedaddle is a scatter granule based on aromatic citronella and eucalyptus oils. Either works as a training aid, so it comes down to the format that suits your spot.
