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

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.

I’ve been using this stuff in various forms for close to a decade. The make your own from concentrate is far away the most cost-effective approach if you’re doing a lot of plants. I use it year-round, on everything from small bonsai to vegetable gardens to bright flowers to small trees. It works well with deer – just you have to be very consistent with spraying and spray a bit more frequently if it is raining a lot or if you have very high deer pressure. It also works great on squirrels, rabbits, and rodents. I found that this prevents squirrels from chewing on a young magnolia tree that I planted, and my bonsai no longer have rodent interest when they are overwintering outside. It is – however - a pain to apply because it stinks so bad. You have to choose a time when there’s less human activity outside, and wear gloves and use garbage bags to contain stinky supplies. However, it is more than worth it to be able to grow pretty much whatever I want with minimal damage, and minimal safety risk to people and pets. Great product.

Liquid Fence works good around our house for deterring the deer, but it does have a strong unpleasant Oder that lingers for a day or two. I haven't really run a test for how long it lasts because that would give the deer the advantage. 😂 I reapply it after a heavy rain just to be sure it's still working and since we've been using "Liquid Fence" we have very little to no damage from the deer except the babies who will sample everything, but they usually only take one bite of the treated plants and then move on. This 40 0z. bottle makes a bit over three gallons and that should take us thru summer. All the deer repellants have increased in price over the last few years, and this one is about middle of the road price wise about $40 bucks and that's a bunch cheaper than plants.

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.

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.

This works great for me. I have Sierra Mule Deer. They are big and cause a lot of damage. I live near Tahoe and we do not get much rain in the warm months being high desert. You do need to reapply after rain but a non-issue here.

I've used this product for 4 years and it does a good job repelling deer but it has not worked at all for rabbits. I follow the directions exactly. I can spray at 6 or 7 pm one day and the next morning rabbits have chopped down a bunch of plants and they eat seedlings as well. I can repeat spray several days in a row and it doesn't matter. Rabbits completely ignore the repellent and eat as much as they want. I now only plant things that are rabbit resistant.

It works!! Historically deer and rabbits have eaten numerous spring plantings and young perennial sprouts in my garden. It was getting worse. I then sprayed this product and during the night my camera videoed the deer walking up to the plants, sniffing around and walking away. I will continue to spray as rains wash it away, hoping that the great protection continues.

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
