Multicrop Skedaddle Dog & Cat Deterrent Granules 500g – Natural Non-Toxic Pet Repellent

Multicrop Skedaddle Dog & Cat Deterrent Granules 500g: Natural Pet Repellent

Multicrop Skedaddle is a natural, non-toxic granule that trains dogs and cats to keep away from the areas you don't want them in. It's built around a blend of aromatic oils that dogs and cats find unpleasant, while barely registering to us. The granules come in a ready-to-use shaker canister, so there's no mixing or spraying. You just scatter them where you need them. It works as a training aid rather than a barrier, gently teaching pets to go elsewhere, and it's Australian owned and made.

How Skedaddle Works

The active constituents are citronella oil (100g/kg) and eucalyptus oil (30g/kg). Dogs and cats have a far sharper sense of smell than we do, so these oils are off-putting enough to steer them away from a treated spot, while the scent stays mild and inoffensive to people. Because it's a scent deterrent, it doesn't harm the animal, it simply makes the area unappealing so they choose somewhere else. Over repeated use, that breaks the habit of returning to the same patch.

How to Use Skedaddle

There's one step people often skip that makes the difference between it working and not. Before you apply, clean the spot properly. Remove any droppings and hose away any urine, because the leftover scent of previous toileting is exactly what draws a dog or cat back to the same place. Once the area is clean and the odour is gone, break the canister seal and scatter the granules sparingly over the target area. Reapply every 3 to 4 days until the animal's behaviour has changed. Close the canister between uses to keep the oils potent, and store it somewhere cool and dry.

How Much It Covers

A 500g canister treats up to 50 square metres. Because you apply it sparingly and reapply every few days, a canister stretches across a decent run of use rather than being emptied in one go.

Where You Can Use It

The granules suit a wide range of spots around the home and garden, including garden beds, lawns, driveways, paths, verandas, greenhouses and pot plants. That makes them handy for keeping pets off a freshly planted bed, out of a favourite digging corner, or away from a doorway or pot they keep marking.

Is It Safe?

Skedaddle is non-toxic and won't harm humans, pets, plants, soil or wildlife, and the granules break down naturally over time without leaving residue. The manufacturer has confirmed it's also safe to use around backyard poultry, so it suits homes with chooks as well as cats and dogs. As with any product, apply it sparingly and follow the label, and keep children and pets away during application.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do Skedaddle granules work?
They use aromatic oils, citronella and eucalyptus, that dogs and cats find unpleasant thanks to their sensitive noses. The animals learn to avoid the treated spot, so it works as a gentle training aid rather than harming them.

How do I use them?
First clean the area, removing droppings and hosing away any urine, since the old scent is what brings pets back. Then scatter the granules sparingly over the spot and reapply every 3 to 4 days until the habit is broken.

How often do I need to reapply? 
Every 3 to 4 days for best results, and again after rain or watering, which can wash the scent away.

How much area does a 500g canister cover?
Up to 50 square metres, applied sparingly.

Are Skedaddle granules safe for my pets, kids and plants?
Yes. They're non-toxic and won't harm people, pets, plants, soil or wildlife, and they break down naturally. Apply sparingly and keep children and pets away while you're putting them down.

Are they safe to use around chickens?
Yes. The manufacturer has confirmed the granules are made from non-toxic substances and are safe to use around backyard poultry.

Will it stop my dog digging or my cat toileting in the garden?
It's designed to, as long as you clean the area first and reapply regularly. Cleaning away the previous scent is the key step, since that odour is what keeps drawing them back.
