IIRC Critter Ridder is basically spicy pepper granules to persuade critters to go elsewhere. It was the only thing that worked when I had raccoons and squirrels eating holes in my roof and throwing my insulation out into the yard.
I just googled Liquid Fence and it's similar, cinnamon, citronella, garlic, etc.
So, maybe don't jump to conclusions?
It's a big bag, I usually use Scott's triple action, this stuff seems cheaper / finer than that. Mowed then applied yesterday before a light rain, we'll see how it goes, still have tons left as I usually use two small bags of triple action
I put it down yesterday. It was the perfect damp after rain kind of day with the slight mist that continued for several hours. You want the grass damp or wet for it to apply best. It sticks to the weeds and kills them as well.
It takes several seasons but this knocks down the weeds just like it says on the bag. There is now a night and day difference between my yard and my neighbors. We used to have the same weeds all over, and now my lawn is finally a lawn.
I've been putting this down in early October for years, however I did a quick search on Scott's website and surprised they recommend not one but two applications. I presume they mean this specific product 2x.
"For your best lawn, feed once in early Fall and 6-8 weeks later in late fall."

Of course Scotts want you to put it down twice they make more money by saying that, usually 1 application is fine. it is to give nutrients to the ground for a faster greenup and spring and to kill any winter weed or germination of winter weed but not summer weeds that might be in your lawn right now. It's definitely a good idea to do it when the weather is starting to get cooler in the nights are below 70° and your region.
Any suggestions on what to use where I have really thin or no grass growing?
Perfect time to aerate, dethatch and over seed. You'll see results by November but even more next spring. Depending on where you live your clock may be running out on overseeding.
