Plantskydd Animal Repellent - Repels Deer, Rabbits, Elk, Moose, Hares, Voles, Squirrels, Chipmunks and Other Herbivores; Wettable Powder Concentrate - 2.2 LB Box - Makes 2.5 Gallon Liquid (PSP-R2)

This stuff works great. It does what it says, especially for our deer problem.We have some quaking aspen trees on our property, one which is the “mother” and her offshoots. We could never figure out why we have such a large tree and yet the offshoots are so short. We soon found out that the deer love the top shoots of the tree in the spring and chew them off thus preventing them from growing.We found out about this product from a local plant nursery who no longer carries this product. When we started using this, we noticed that the deer stayed away. Our offshoots that were no taller than five feet are now well over fifteen feet tall. Since we don’t want to overcrowd the trees, we spray the ones we want to grow and the deer can feast on the others.I have also sprayed my maple tree to keep the deer at bay and will look into controlling the voles who have begun to invade our lawn.A great product that works like a charm.

This product works like no other! Follow directions and you’ll see results. We have used this now for 3 years repelling deer from eating day Lillie’s and hostas.

Actually is the only thing that has worked for me. I have terrific deer pressure and they eat everything that is not caged or sprayed. You may find you have to spray every 10 days or so. I use a large hand pumped sprayer There is a trick to mixing it. Put about a quart of warm water in a small bucket and add the powder. Using a metal whisk, mix the powder in gently. The point is to get it wet, not to mix it completely at this point. Let it set while preparing your sprayer, funnel and (included) mesh strainer. Whisk the mixture. Don’t be too vigorous because it will foam up. Place funnel in sprayer and mesh filter in funnel. Pour repellent through filter into sprayer and then add more water to get the correct ratio. This stuff is basically dried blood and will make a terrific mess if you aren’t careful. Fill the bucket with water and leave the filter, funnel and whisk it soaking til final clean up. Rinse the sprayer when done and run clean water through it. Hose off the whisk and filter etc. Process doesn’t take long. The stuff does work but you have to keep up with respraying, especially when plants are rapidly growing

Definitely helps. Only thing we've found that works on hostas to keep the deer off them. But it's expensive, a bit of a pain to mix, tends to clog sprayers even when strained, and is not foolproof. Deer have eaten the green giant arborvitaes after application.

Read the prior reviews on this product and bought it, as if I know anything about deer they will find the most inopportune time to dine on little saplings and shrubs, and I had no desire to see my newly planted 350 tree shelter belt end up in Bambi’s belly.Before using the product, the plentiful deer out here in Montana were grazing (seen on cameras) right on the other side of the fence. After the first application of the product, they were seen approaching the fence only to startle about twenty yards away and turn back.Since then, I mix up a gallon of product at a time and apply half a gallon on the outer and inner belts, then apply the (stinkier by that time) second half three weeks later. I have yet to see deer sign within 40 yards of the fence.

We have both deer and moose that visit our yard to eat plants and shrubs. We've fenced the garden, but they still eat our shrubs. An application of this definitely prevents them from eating the shrubs. You have to be diligent about mixing this and strain out any chunks. We use a dedicated one gallon pump sprayer for application. Best to spray this when you don't have any outdoor plans in the area for a few days. It smells terrible, but I guess that is why it works.

I sprayed this on and around several saplings that I planted. Nothing has eaten the trees but every day I have to go around and replant most of them. It seems like it is attracting animals with the cow blood and they are digging to find whatever died. I even have some wire fencing around some but whatever is digging is either small or climbs over. This has been a total waste of time and money and I assume none of my trees will survive the nightly abuse.If this is something you are considering getting, just bury a raw chicken wing or something an inch or 2 under ground and if something digs it up you know what will happen if you use this product.

I have a 3 acre park with almost 100 highly-prized trees on it. Every year I would lose a couple of trees to bucks rubbing their antlers against the trees and decimating it in one night. I tried products made of rotten eggs, peppermint, etc. I even tried human hair. Nothing worked…until I tried Plantskydd! I have not lost a tree since starting with Plantskydd seven years ago. I buy the dried blood concentrate and mix it up myself. It’s a little bit of work to stir it (I use a paint mixer on my drill) and strain it into the sprayer tank (a strainer is provided); but if it works I'm OK with it. If you only have a few trees, you can use the ready-mixed product. And I don’t spray the entire tree…my thought is that if a deer is frightened by the smell of blood on the trunk, it isn’t going to stick around to eat leaves. Another plus is that it lasts throughout the entire winter due to some kind of wax they add to the formula…once it’s dried on the tree. And once it has dried on the tree, there’s no offensive odor either. In the summer I can get by with hanging an Ivory soap bar on the tree (Ivory is made from beef tallow and deer hate it); but in the Fall, when a buck's antlers are in “velvet”, the antlers itch and they’ll rub on any tree in sight…except a tree coated with Plantskydd. I give it a solid 5-Star rating and a hearty “thank you” to the Swedish government for developing it!
