1006 Deer Scram Repellent Granular White Pail, 5.75 Pounds, (Packaging May Vary)

I purchased a new home that backs to woods in NJ. The deer (8-10 at a time!) were coming too close to house and ate flowers that they apparently aren’t supposed to like this past fall. I bought a bag of this (yes it came in a bag despite photo) and WOW. Did not see a deer for a month. It snowed and then I started seeing a couple so I just bought my second bag and applied. I will continue to buy!

We have a very healthy deer population in our area, and they will decimate hostas, flowers, roses, pretty much any plant that you stick in the ground. A plant nursery recommended this product and it's truly amazing. It has a slight odor but it does not stink like other products. It's all natural ingredients too. I buy it by the bucket and about every 4 weeks I do a light sprinkling of it on all my landscape plants, newly planted small trees. A very heavy rain might mean I need to apply more, but in general if it rains, I don't need to reapply. My neighbors thought my flowers were fake, they looked so good, while theirs were being eaten to the ground. After I shared my "secret weapon" they bought SCRAM too. Very happy with this product!!

Came in a BAG - not the tub as the image displayed as

I am so happy to have discovered this product. Last summer it happened two times! I went outside to see that my newly planted flowers had been decimated! I was so upset that I just left them unplanted for the remainder of the season. I was angry at the loss of beauty and money. So in the depths of winter I decided to start preparing. I searched for deer repellent and found this one that had great reviews. This summer, I can now enjoy beautiful flowers and I am not in fear of going outside to an unwelcome surprise. Although pricey, this was worth it because my flower investment has been safe so far.

Before I used the product, I picked up all of the deer poop from my back yard where the deer like to graze and defecate. Then I checked the yard for new piles for a few days. We were averaging 2 per night.I put the entire 5 lb bag down on my small back-yard on Sunday afternoon. By 5 pm Wednesday there were 8 new piles of deer feces in my yard. Zero effect.

To anybody considering this product.It works OK for deer and (voles if dropped INTO the hole.). It will keep the invading hoards at bay temporarily but one needs to reapply to new growth. That can mean as frequently as once a week during the growing season, less frequently thereafter, or immediately after real hard rains.The screaming and cursing one uses in the Olympian effort to remove the lid surely will give any nearby deer and rodents reason to SCRAM. Thus the product name.This product stinks when first applied. Stink is actually good. It's what you want. Stink keeps the critters away. Then it dries and there's no stink. That's what humans want. Win, win on that point.It's the unbelievably poorly designed can. Or rather the effort required to open this version of the product. Only those of you who are too onery to give up can get this can open. That's most hard core gardeners. Congrats to all my 70+ garden grouches who have muscled through it.Consider this list of tools and find at least 1 hour of undisturbed time to get the lid off. Try the following:Kitchen shears —Not recommended, I used an old pair to snip the zipper. Took several attempts. Just don't.Pliers — Good for some meager assistance in removing the zipper, which in reality is just the lower rim of the lid. Big strong guys may try to tear it. Hah! But their hands were likely too hammy to get a good grip.Wire cutters —My wire cutters are for 9 gauge wire and certainly worked better than kitchen shears. You will need these to help cut the zipper into shorter lengths that can then be removed with the pliers. Marginal for use for cutting “flaps around the lid tho.Hack saw with fine teeth for cutting plastic.— This is the quickest way to cut flaps in a lid that came without flaps. I needed a total of 6 cuts minimum.Wide head screw driver —Use to pry the flaps up from the bottom. I also tried pounding the screw driver with a hammer to help with this. The lid had to be pried off.

I'm in NJ, the pine barrens...the woods...Deer are everywhere! The deer just jump right over our 4' fence. Last year I had to grow my veggies in a plant tent. This year I was determined to have a beautiful raised bed veggie garden. I have tomatoes, eggplants, zucchini, summer squash, green beans, lettuce, kale and lots of flowers to help with pollination. As you can see from the picture... This product along with their spray for directly on plants works! We've also had lots of rain this summer and the product was laid down in late May and lasted all the way through till Aug 1st. The deer finally took some nibbles this week so I guess it's time to reapply the powder around my perimeter. Our yard is about 5000 sqft and it takes 2 buckets of deer scram to cover the perimeter of it. I highly recommend this! It has really kept the deer out of our yard and as I said with rain and everything one application has lasted almost 3 months.
