DEER OUT® 1 Gallon Ready-to-Use Refill - Deer Repellent.

I wish I knew about this stuff sooner. I decided to try and grow veggies one last time this year. My fenced back yard is too shady and in the front yard, the deer always come to dinner in our flower bed. I purchased some strawberry plants last year and tomatoes this year. The strawberries made it through the winter but the deer or rabbits had been eating them last year. The tomatoes I purchased were eaten the night I planted them. They were in a raised planter and some were on my front porch. It didn't matter to the deer how close they had to come to the windows or doors on my house, and they didn't care if the dogs barked at them. I decided to try this stuff based on the reviews. Everyone was right. THIS STUFF WORKS IMMEDIATELY!!!! My dogs won't come near the sprayer and the deer have not touched anything that I sprayed since I started. I've also not seen any rabbits other than a couple babies near the flowers. Here is the kicker though. I talked to a biologist at the local garden center and he advised me that you need to use 3 different types of repellents. One that is granular like Deer Out, coyote urine, and ground chicken feathers. You have to rotate the different repellents on a monthly basis so the deer don't become accustomed to the smell. I'm using Deer Out, coyote urine granules, and ground chicken feathers. The ground chicken feathers is a slow release nitrogen fertilizer and it is recommended by the local zoo. The feathers are nasal irritants for the deer and work during the rut. The biologist recommended adding a couple drops of dish soap to help the spray last longer and adhere to the plants better. The couple drops of dish soap won't hurt the plants either unless you drown them in soap. I've let my plants go 2 weeks without a refresh spray, but I try to give them a spritz weekly. Pros: I like the minty smell of this. Dogs and deer hate it. Easy to spray on the plants. It stays on for a month if you stretch it.. Cons: The sprayer is cheap and flimsy.

My backyard plants, as well as those in my neighbor's yard, have been a banquet ground all spring and half the summer for whitetail deer. Each morning I'd find deer tracks everywhere and plants eaten to the ground. In the past I had tried various products, such as Liquid Fence, to try and deter them. They all helped in the short term but had to be resprayed frequently, and after a month or so the deer apparently adjusted to the smell and resumed feasting. This product, Deer Out, has them all beat. I filled a Zep hand sprayer with it and sprayed all around both yards which includes a large flower and shrub garden. I sprayed on the shrubs, flowers, and even on the surrounding grass. The feasting stopped. And no more deer tracks. I also do not have to spray often. And the scent, to humans, is pleasant. Kind of minty. Of course, after a rain you need to respray, but it doesn't take much. This is definitely a good product and I intend to keep a quantity on hand for this autumn and next spring.

This works to keep the deer away from my roses. Easy and quick to apply.

Good for some but not good enough to keep the deer we have away. We have about 20 to 30 a night eating everything. So the concentrate works better.

This works great to keep the deer from nibbling on my outdoor potted plants. I use a hand pump sprayer that I keep near by for convenience. It has to be reapplied after rain or every week or 10 days.

Great product really works well. Using this product for years and have recommended to others.

Ok....I've tried all kinds of deer repellent products over the last couple of years after I moved from a large metro area to a small farm town community adjacent to woods, fields and all kinds of deer habitat. I've tried screeching disco light motion activated devices, sonic clicking robot looking devices, bird netting, shock sticks, Irish spring soap shavings, dog hair, coffee grounds and motion activated sprinklers. What sort of worked: motion activated sprinklers and shock sticks. The deer were smart enough to evade the sprinklers once they got used to them. And I would've required an ungodly number of shock stick spikes to provide coverage for my hundred + day lilies and crocosmia. I picked up a bottle of Deer Out at a farm store and sprayed the buds and flowers of the highly desirable day lilies. Immediately I noticed that the deer ate around the sprayed plants but left everything that had been sprayed alone. I then purchased several gallon sized jugs of the stuff through Amazon. Deer Out stinks. It's made from mint and putrified eggs. Smells like lavender too. It was this week last year that the deer herd moved through with their babies and ate every last bud and flower on ALL my daylilies and crocosmia, the hydrangea trees, the window box plants and most of the plants in pots on my front porch. I netted the few things that were left. The deer chewed the flowers through the netting. So when I say Deer Out is a game changer I mean it. I don't trust that I only need to spray a couple of times a season. I spray every other day. I still see the deer and I find deer poop in my gardens but the damage is minimal and mostly from them tromping around searching for non sprayed plants. *For those who might suggest fencing....it's not allowed in my neighborhood. Oh and do gooders keep feeding the deer so they don't ever go away. Deer Out. It helped me keep my anger in check and my sanity.

It works reasonably well but only lasts about a week even with no rain to wash it away. I paired the spraying with spreading garlic powder over plants as a secondary scent deterrent. 3 stars is a bit generous rating since I used garlic powder before getting the spray and it worked almost as well.
