Liquid Fence Deer And Rabbit Repellent Concentrate 1 Gallon, Apply Year-Round

My wife is a master gardener, and our property is plagued with tick-carrying deer that love to eat her gardens. We have tried many products and home remedies over the years, and this is the best, by far. Yes, it is costly, but it is worth every penny. Prior to using this, for years I applied a well-known product made from dried, powdered pig blood. It was marginally effective, didn't last, and was very difficult to mix. It would also clog my sprayer frequently with blood clots. It would smell awful when mixing and after application. It would also leave dark brown [blood] spots on the plants.Speaking of smelling awful, this product also smells awful, but the odor dissipates within a day or so. It appears to last somewhere between a couple of weeks and a month, so you do need to re-apply it regularly. It comes as a concentrate that is about the consistency of heavy cream. 12.8 oz or so mix into a total of 1 gallon water. It mixes very easily, makes a small amount of foam, and has no clots or clogging issues. If you mix it indoors, the smell is pretty nasty, but doesn't last very long. I have to say that the nasty smell is more visceral than olfactory - it's almost like it makes me feel ill to smell it, even though the smell itself is not overpowering. Very subjective, your mileage may vary. One gallon of concentrate will make about 10 gallons of ready to use.I'v posted pics of the gardens we are protecting.So here's the bottom line - this stuff is easy to mix and use, works well, and lasts. The best repellent I have found, in many years of trying, to keep the deer from eating our plantings. I recommend buying a small amount of concentrate, and see how it works for you.

It's rare for me to use 5 stars, but Liquid Fence does repel deer, and does it for longer than they claim. After spraying the bushes, the deer won't even approach. After a couple of weeks they will pass by without eating anything. I have gone a whole month in the winter before re-spraying.

I have tried several deer and rabbit repellents and this by FAR is the best product I have purchased. It really works. It is expensive, requires repeated applications after it rains, and it attracts dogs like crazy.Our landscaping was constantly being chomped down by both rabbits and deer enjoying their free "salad bar" fix daily. After the first application that ceased abruptly.The odor is strong but fades after a day. Please do NOT get any of this on your shoes while spraying...the smell will not come out of a sneaker unless you hose it down. We have dedicated old sneakers we use while spraying and leave those sneakers in the garage.The attraction of this product to dogs is a tad annoying. Dogs love this stuff, roll around in it, mark their territory and come back time after time to do so. We do not have any dogs, so if you do...be aware this might be the case for you. Still it is worth it as without this product my landscaping would have been chomped down to the ground!You must be vigilant and re-apply after any significant rain to achieve optimal results. We also felt it imperative to apply this more often than needed in the early days of using this product hoping it would "train" the deer and rabbits to stay clear of our property. That really worked. It is quite entertaining and funny to see the deer slowly saunter off to my neighbor's yard after standing far away from our plants without a single chomp. This is the first year in a very long time I have seen my variegated Liriope growing in winter (a favorite of both deer and rabbits) which would have been totally eaten to the roots by now without this spray. Both deer and rabbits are very plentiful in my neighborhood.I waited 2 months before writing this review to be sure it is still working to keep the deer and rabbits away! It DOES!ON another note, I am trying the Granular version of this product along with this concentrate hoping to easy the need for repeated liquid applications. All the effort is worth it-- as this saved our landscaping big time.THANK YOU Liquid Fence!!

The rabbits this year were much worse than usual - munching down many plants till there were only nubs of stems sticking out of the ground. I had never used anything like this before and I was dubious that this would work, but at this point was willing to try anything. I am so glad I did! The rabbits will not touch anything that this product touched. I can always tell which plants I forgot to treat because those ones are destroyed by bunnies while the others remain unscathed. I was also amazed by how long it lasts - once it dries, even multiple heavy rains don't wash it away. I suspect I did not dilute it enough at first, and that affected some leaves, but at a larger dilution all is well. I have also learned that it's enough to pour this stuff around a plant I want to protect - without touching the plant. One thing though, this stuff absolutely stinks to high heaven when you open the jug. So, wear disposable gloves (you do NOT want this on your skin) when mixing/dispensing this product and I would avoid applying it right before you have a garden party. Happily, the smell is not noticeable when the product dries (and depending on the weather, this can be pretty fast). This stuff saved my garden!
