Liquid Fence Deer & Rabbit Repellent Ready-to-Use, 32-Ounce, White

Liquid Fence really does the job. After one application, the deer stopped munching on my plants. Easy to spray, although sometimes the bottle is stubborn and you may end up with some on your fingers... beware! Advertised as safe around pets. The smell is strong! But it works well. Just remember to reapply after a few days, especially if it rains.

Every gardener should have a jug of this stuff in her arsenal. I was so surprised to find IT ACTUALLY WORKS. And spray it on EVERYTHING you don't want the squirrels, deer, other critters to chew. Yes, you need to spray again @ every three weeks, but you only need to spritz here and there and it does the trick. Once the animals encounter it, they HATE the smell and then they become conditioned to staying away from that plant. So it goes a long way. And no, you don't need to freak about putting it on fruits & vegetables. I spray our blueberries and in a week they are fine to eat w/o rinsing and no worries (but maybe rinse in a colander anyway). Point being, humans will not taste it and it doesn't poison you. Stay UPWIND when spraying. It smells like rotten eggs and pig urine (which is why the critters don't want anything to do with whatever you spray it upon) and if you get it on yourself/clothes, you need to scrub the beegeezuz out of yourself and your clothes. Humans cannot smell it after one day, so no worries there either.

Works perfectly! Keeps the deer and other critters off my hostas and peaches! But don't buy the large jug with the sprayer - the sprayer does not work AT ALL and you end up fighting this super smelly stuff into another spray bottle. NOTE it really stinks - like concentrated bear pee - so if you get it on you, it lingers after multiple washes.

West Central Florida: Performs as advertised. Keeps the rabbits from eating my recently planted Asiatic Jasmine. Bonus: Seems to be keeping frogs away from my front door, too! Asian tree frog droppings virtually every night for 6 years until I sprayed this on the sill of the transom window above my front door. Have gone 10 days without a single dropping - never done that before. Just bought some more.

This product works well for most of the year to deter wildlife. I've noticed the closer to winter, when animals begin to sense the need to fatten up, that they will disregard the smell and eat anyways. I make my own spray out of garlic, onions, castile soap, eggs, and cayenne pepper now, but this repellant works great in a pinch. The cost is high if you have a big garden. I used to use it exclusively and for many years which is how I know it stops working as well closer to fall.Another downside is that it attracts coyotes due to the smell being very similar to coyote urine. I have cats so this is was the actual reason I stopped using it entirely. Even though I live in the suburbs where we almost never get coyotes, I used to spot them a lot scoffing around my yard. I have not seen one since I stopped using it.While I find my solution works much better and is cheaper, it comes with it's own downsides. You have to be careful how much cayenne you use in your water solution because too much causes the oil to stick to the plant and burns them. Beans do not like garlic or onions so I just use cayenne dish soap and rotten eggs for them. In the end, the best rule of thumb is that you need to grow enough for both yourself and the wildlife because you will lose some regardless of how diligent you are. However, in my case, they don't usually take a second bite.Conclusions:If you don't have small pets, your garden isn't huge, and you can afford it, this stuff works great through the growing season up until around fall. Even then it still works but not as well.Attracts coyotesCan burn some plants. Beans mainly.

1. This product only works when sprayed regularly. If it rains, you have to spray again. If it's sunny, you can go quite awhile (although i still spray every few days just to be safe)2. DO NOT SPRAY any other time than early morning or evening. If you spray mid day, your plants WILL burn.We live in neighborhood where there are A LOT of deer. During my evening walks, I see herds of 20 at a time. They aren't scared of humans and there's so little food for them here that they will eat anything....even the supposedly deer resistant stuff. They decimated my fig trees, my grape vines, raspberry and blackberries, flower garden and star jasmine. Every morning I'd find the same deer in my yard and any new growth would be gone. Since spraying this stuff, I haven't seen them in my yard nor seen them eat anything. My grape vines finally have new growth again. My only regret is not using this stuff sooner before the deer destroyed every attempt I made at having a garden.

I grow food for the food pantry. Last yr rabbits ate all my beans and some tomatoes and peppers. This yr they started again. The spray bottle leaked like a siv but did spray. I also got a gal jug of it. It's sprayer didn't work at all. BUT what's in them works. 1rst app no more rabbits. So sprayers are crap, but what's in them is great. When I use all the spray bottle will use a dollar spray battle. Oh I have about 100 tomato plants, 14 pepper plants and 2 rows of beans. I feed about 250 people. SO! I don't care about the sprayers as long as the stuff in it works. I will be getting again.

This stuff has a really pungent and unpleasant smell but does seem to work for most part. Be sure to wear gloves andbe careful where you spray, especially on a windy day. When sprayed on the plant, it leaves a unappealing whiteresidue. I've had desperately hungry deer still eat the flower petals sprayed with this repellant but for most part,it does seem to work well enough. If it rains, you definitely need to reapply to maintain its effectiveness. I like tospray around ground near the plant rather than the plants themselves to prevent the white residue. It seems to workjust as well.
