well Lisa, the person who sells it says that the smell is not long lived, its just meant to de-stress the gliders and then the scent is not stronger than yours so it just gives them more time getting used to your scent without being so stressed [ I kinda paraphrased] Catnip is meant to be pleasant to cats and make them go crazy so its not the same as this someone else on GC also mentioned that lavender has a similar effect on us but is not considered a drug nor is it harmful to us except in large concentrated quantities so I think if it works, people who have had trouble with their gliders could at least Try this
