Ace Hardware Ro Pel Animal & Bird Repellent B010 —

As I have stated in my other reviews, I am a lawn and garden expert and also work at a major home improvement center in the garden department. I have access to all the products we sell and living in an area that is classified as a bird sanctuary, they will never build in that area.

Before we put a fence around our property, we used to have all kinds of wild life running around in our back yard. Even when we had our swimming pool being built, we had creatures in it.

I asked vendors for some free samples of their products to see if one of them could do as it stated; to keep animals out. No matter what I tried, nothing worked. Then we got in this Ropel stuff. It promised to do the trick.

HA! That stuff was the least effective! I called the vendor and explained my problem. He actually drove out to my house, since I live 2 miles away from work and applied the stuff. He explained that I must have applied it wrong. Yeah right.

So he goes back to the store and I am relaxing by the pool and what do I see not more than an hour later? Not one deer, but 2 just strolling along and right into my back yard. They really like my colorful pink Hibiscus flowers.

So I called my store and luckily the vendor was still there. I told him to rush right back out to my house and see how well his product worked. I told him to bring in his camera, which he did. I guess I don't have to tell you how upset he was. Not to mention that a deer was munching my flowers right beside a pile of his Ropel stuff.

Anyway, to make a long story short, we don't sell the junk where I work any more because it doesn't work. I do not recommend this product to anyone. Sorry but I believe in being honest about things I have used. And I am thankful it didn't cost me anything. I'm just hoping I can save someone else some money.
