Bitter Lime Pump Spray

I got Grannick's Bitter Apple spray at the same time as the Four Paws Bitter Lime spray. I don't know exactly what is in the Bitter Apple spray, but the Bitter Lime spray contains Bitrex, a trade name for denatonium benzoate. If you Google this compound, you'll find that it is the most bitter substance known to man. It is commonly used to keep kids and pets from consuming such poisons as antifreeze, windshield washer fluid, denatured alcohol, and the like. The state of Oregon requires it to be used in poisonous products as of 1995. It's also a key component in anti-chewing nail polishes.

Denatonium benzoate is so bitter that humans can detect it in concentrations as low as 0.05 PPM (parts per million). At a concentration of just 10 PPM, it is unbearably bitter to humans. Concentrations used for preventing ingestion are typically in the 10 40 PPM range. That's equivalent to just 2.5 to 10 milligrams of denatonium benzoate per 8 oz bottle of spray. I have no idea what concentration the Bitter Lime spray uses (Four Paws Bitter Lime gel claims its Bitrex content is 0.0025%, or 25 PPM), but it does taste very, very nasty (I didn't taste it intentionally!).

The Bitter Lime spray uses isopropyl alcohol and water as its primary ingredients. This is very useful, since it dries quickly, thereby preventing "Mr. Lick'n'Chew" from attempting to rub it off on the carpet or on his bedding. The spray doesn't seem to bother him when I apply it, something I was worried about due to the alcohol content, but he sure hates the taste of the stuff: once he's been treated, he sits staring at me, glowering. Every so often, he'll retry a chew or lick, only to shake his head in disgust. Denatonium benzoate is non-toxic and non-carcinogenic, so it's fine for the dog to get in his mouth, if he can stand it.

Overall, the Bitter Lime spray is a success. It's easy to use, dries quickly, and the dog hates the taste.

I originally got the bitter apple spray to cover wires and keep my ferrets from chewing the cables. However, it didn't seem to deter the, from chewing at all. I have only used the product for a few days so I cant attest to the longevity of the spray but so far they hate it. They have gone up the sprayed wires to sniff but shake their head when they touch them. Does the trick so far!

I have a german shepard mix puppy who love to tear up my indoor rugs. She loves nothing better than to grab the kitchen and door rugs and drag them through her dog door out to the back yard, shredding them and leaving them in the sprinkler. I bought this spray and coated the rugs with it. At first the smell was pretty strong for the human's to handle but it faded within an hour or two. It's been over 3 months with regular vacuuming (no washing) and the puppy hasn't touched a single rug. I couldn't be happier!

I bought this to keep my cats from jumping into my Christmas tree. I first strayed the area the tree would be in and then I sprayed the tree and again the area. The cats sniffed and seemed to not mind it. I then held both cats, let them smell it and had them lick it and they did NOT like the taste. I wanted them to associate the smell with the taste. They didn't go near it because when they did I sprayed them but then the next day my kitten sniffed and went under the tree. I don't know if it was the smell/taste or the sound of the spray they didn't like. But so far they haven't been going but like I said, I don't know if its because of the spray or sound.

My basset finds it entertaining to chew on anything and everything. I just bought new leather shag area rugs, and these have become his new chew toys. As soon as I got this bottle, I tested it on one of the loose leather strands. It did not change the color, so I sprayed the entire rug. He tried chewing on it, but didn't like the bitter flavor. He has left them alone since. The only thing I do not like about the spray is it burns my lungs when I spray it.
