Deer And Rabbit Repellent Concentrate 32 Ounces, Apply Year-Round

Update: All my flowers are growing great and the rabbits stay away from them. I mix up 8oz of this repellent with 1 gallon water in my pump sprayer and it smells plenty strong. I dont spray my petunias since it seems to burn them so I spray a 1-2 foot area around them. It doesnt seem to harm the grass at all. In my little fenced in wild flower garden the plants are growing like crazy overflowing over and even thru the chicken wire and the rabbits dont touch them when last year they would eat everything they could reach. They seemed to really like eating black eyed susans and I havent noticed even one branch eaten since spraying. Around that garden i'll spray the gravel in the front and the grass in the back, the rabbits dont even touch the petunias in the back. And there are still rabbits around I just had one in the back yard this morning and it didnt even go near the flowers as I was watching to see what it would do. I cut back on the daily spraying, now ill spray after I cut the lawn and after it rains out to get some fresh repellent down. Update: This stuff seems to be working so well I just bought a gallon size of the concentrate. I should have bought it from the beginning. I have been spraying it nightly just because im paranoid about my plants being eaten. I mix it up a little lighter than the directions say to get a little more coverage and it seems to be working great. Since using this product I have seen a few rabbits around but nothing like before and they are leaving my flowers alone for the most part. Yesterday I went out and I did catch a rabbit hiding in a corner under a sunflower plant and it had a leaf in its mouth it was munching on. My sunflowers are still small around 2 feet tall and it had nibbled off a lower leaf. It quickly ran off into a neighbors yard where it met with another rabbit. I watched them as they started eating the grass over there. Sure enough i noticed them starting to make there way over my yard again. I got out my sprayer that has it mixed up already and turned the nozzle to spray a long stream and I was able to reach them with it and they quickly ran off. I still dont spray my petunia flowers directly since it does seem to stain the flowers, even overspray will make them look spotted. Instead I spray a large area of the grass all around the plants and it seems to work. I have a small wildflower garden that I fenced off with chicken wire to keep the rabbits out and I noticed they will stand up and eat whatever they can reach so i now spray the ground all around the garden and that seems to work, I hardly notice any flowers eaten. The spray doesnt seem to really effect the wild flowers, ill stand back and give the outer ones a quick overspray and havent noticed any negative effects. If you have a lot of flowers then get the gallon size concentrate because you will probably go thru the smaller sizes quick. I mix around 8oz per gallon of water in my pump sprayer. There seems to be a colony of cottontail rabbits running around my neighborhood and they love eating all the flowers I plant around the yard. i have put up a fence made of chicken wire around one of my flower gardens but I also have nice Wave petunia plants scattered around where fencing wont really look good. Last year I tried spraying scorpion hot sauce on the plants and it did work great at stopping the rabbits from devouring them, they would still nibble but the hot sauce must get to them quick and they leave the plant alone. I would have to spray the plants often as they grew and especially after it rained . It was getting expensive going thru so much hot sauce even when I mixed it with water. There must be dozens of them running around and im seeing small babies all the time so they are reproducing like crazy. I like rabbits and think they are nice to see, I just dont want my flowers ruined. I tried a ready to spray 32oz bottle of this stuff and it does seem to keep the rabbits away. Since I have been using it I have only noticed 1 flower bud half eaten. Unfortunately this spray does seem to damage the petunias, the leaves and flowers seemed to discolor or burn when sprayed directly on them. Now I just spray the surrounding area and it seems to work also. I went thru the 32oz ready to spray bottle so I just bought the 40oz concentrate which seems like a much better deal. using it per the directions the 40oz bottle of concentrate will make over 12 of the 32oz spray bottles. That comes out to around $2.50/32oz bottle. The only thing is the concentrate smells very bad, I find it disgusting and have to hold my breath when mixing it.

If you don't use this to much, it works great. Deer can become desensitized to the scent if used year round

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!!

If you have deer and rabbits, this may save your garden. Two very important notes if you haven't tried it before: 1) make sure you do not get blowback on you from your sprayer, the smell is truly gagging. It dissipates within an hour but you do NOT want to perfume yourself with it! And 2) you have to reapply to NEW GROWTH. First year I used it on a large lily bed, I forgot that flower buds were new growth... the deer left the bed alone and I was so happy - until hundreds of buds all got chomped in one overnight eating orgy because I didn't spray the buds! That said, apart from new growth, you will find that one application is effective for at least a month, even with rain.

The product arrived yesterday and cannot be used in wet weather. So OI cannot review at the moment

Disappointed deer’s no scare at all , waisted money
