Apple Bitter

[fancybutterfly]

I have used the bunny-safe Grannicks Apple bitter to deter my bns from chewing on the baseboards of my apartment. But within a day or two of spraying, they are at it again.

I am wanting to try a different brand to see if it'll work. Has anyone used

"Fooey!" Ultra-Bitter spray? On the bottle there is everyanimal (cat, dog, bird, ferret, guinea pig) but a rabbit. It says it's "all natural bitter ingredients". They are: water, all natural bitter principles and extractives, perservatives. Contains no alcohol, neutralpH, non-toxic, non-acidic and non-caustic.



ANy input would be greatly appreciated, thanks

My guys have become immune to all bitter sprays I could find, even the ones that contain denatonium benzoate, a very nasty tasting compound.

I haven't tried the Fooey brand but it sounds safe based on its ingredients.

Good old ivory soap is the only thing that stops Sabrina from snacking on my baseboards.

oh wow!

Do you just rub the bar right on the baseboard?

 

[~*sAbRiNa*~]

Yep, I just rub a very slightly damp bar along the baseboards and she won't go near them for weeks at a time.

Thanks! I'm going to try that!:biggrin:

soap works. Didn't have any luck wit the bitter apple. Finally replace the board with tile.

I tried Fooey (and several other brands) and my crew loved the stuff!

hhaha! It seems Bob and Zeus do too!
I'm off to get some Ivory soap!

THanks everyone!

 

[fancybutterfly]

well, I put the Ivory soap along the baseboards. Leave it to Zue to try it! I hope he realizes that it's disgusting and doesn't eat anymore!!!

 

[~*sAbRiNa*~]

Really? Is he chewing or just licking? I did a pretty thick coating of it, maybe that's what he needs....

 

[fancybutterfly]

H was just licking it I think. I put a fairly thick coat on too. I think he was jusy curious. I haven't seen him do it since. Bob hasn't touched a wall!!!

 

[~*sAbRiNa*~]

Yay! I'm glad to hear it

I would reapply in a few days so that they know that they shouldn't be chewing and then you should be safe.
