Deer RepellentsI have gathered together all of the deer repellent products that have worked in my own or other gardener's yards. Remember, when using a scented deer repellent it is best to continually rotate your mode of defense or the deer will eventually become accustomed to the smell or taste. Keep them guessing! For more products that will make your landscape more deer resistant, visit Gempler's and do a search for "deer." There are a lot more products out there to add to your arsenal! And for more tips on keeping deer away from your ornamentals, see my deer article. |

Deer Stopper Plot Saver Unlike most deer repellents that require direct application to protect plant material, this unique system keeps deer out of areas by protecting the perimeter and keeping deer at bay. Patented method uses the proven Deer StopperŪ organic deer repellent. To use, string absorbent poly-tape ribbon around the perimeter of plants at 30" off the ground (deer muzzle height), then spray ribbon with Deer Stopper repellent. This creates a physical and sensory barrier that lasts up to 30 days per application. |
Scarecrow Sprinkler Hook the Scarecrow up to your garden hose and stake it. The smart motion sensor detects an intruder (up to 35 feet away), and sends a full pressure blast of water right at it. It switches off immediately, using a conservative 2 cups of water per discharge. You pre-set the detection area (protects a 1,000-sq. ft. area) and sensitivity, to prevent triggering by household pets. Sensor sensitivity is automatically dampened in windy conditions, to avoid false triggers. Up to 1,000 discharges on a single 9-volt battery (not included). 2 year warranty. |
Plantskydd Animal Repellent I applied Plantskydd in early spring to all of the perennials and spring flowering bulbs that the rabbits usually chomp to the ground and for the first time EVER--not a nibble. When the deer started chewing on my 'Stella d'Oro' daylilies outside the fence, I sprayed--they haven't touched them again. Developed in Sweden, Plantskydd is non-toxic and is not harmful to animals or the environment when used as directed. The best part is that it provides plants with up to 4 months protection during the active growing season and up to 6 months of protection over winter. DO NOT apply directly onto edible parts of fruit, vegetables and other food crops. |

The biodegradable all-natural formula will not harm humans, pets or animals. Dilute with 7-parts water to every 1-part concentrate. For use on agricultural as well as horticultural crops.

 Garlic Clips Clipped to trees and shrubs, garlic clips form a powerful odor barrier. They allow the garlic odor out while protecting the ingredients from the weather, so they last up to 6 months. This bag of 50 garlic oil dispensers will repel deer and rabbits, reducing wildlife browsing damage on fruit, nut and vegetable crops, and ornamental plants. Place four to six feet apart to create a barrier around your plants. If necessary, increase the number of dispensers used until feeding stops. Blue and green garlic oil dispensers are |
Black Deer Netting I've had very good luck with simply stringing black plastic mesh barrier between the trees around the perimeter of my lot. The deer bump into it in the dark and are stymied because they can't figure out what is obstructing them. This heavy-duty polypropylene barrier keeps out deer, rabbits, raccoons and other wildlife pests and won't cut your hands like metal fencing. Just roll the fencing up at end of season for easy storage Gardener's Supply
