Bobbex Concentrated Deer Repellent, 2.5 gal.

Seems to work. Had a deer coming in the yard at night eating all the leaves off the fruit trees.Sprayed this nasty stuff on the trees, the deer still comes in the yard and ate a few leaves, but hasn't touched the trees in weeks. Still see the deer, but trees have been left alone.

We have a deer problem right here in suburbia. They will eat ANYTHING! I'm trying to grow different varieties of spinach, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and winter squash. This is a salad bar for deer in our area. How do I know? I put Ring cameras around my garden set to detect motion. In the morning I would check for motion. sure enough, there he was, munching away on my tomatoes. I started spraying with this product and haven't seen a deer in range of my cameras since. We live in NE Florida where it rains a lot in the summer. I assume the needs to be reapplied after a heavy rain, so around dusk I give the garden areas a quick shot of Bobbex. I keep a 1-quart spray bottle mixed with the concentrated Bobbex (I like that it is a concentrate so goes a long way). Small chore to get some food for my family instead of the deer. I checked around the Internet, and the Bobbex product was frequently recommended. So far, it is working great and I would recommend buying it. Oh, one other thing... The directions are under the front label. You have to look at the upper left-hand corner to see the tab to open it.

Works great when I spread this out I see no signs of deer or rabbit and my vegetable garden has not been touched by any animals

Do yourself a favor when you use this stuff: wear a ventilator and don't spill any. I now start to gag when I am near it. It is very effective, but not user friendly. I despise it's sent almost as much as the deer do. Yuck! But it does save your plants and trees from deer damage when applied regularly.Update: I ordered a new bottle from Amazon. It showed up unopened, tight lid, and a plastic wrap around it (although that had a tear in it), and the box stunk walking it in from the porch. We have it sitting by itself without the box in the garage, and the garage stinks of Bobbex. I may just take the jug outside near the trees we want to protect and store it there to keep the deer away. Not sure how it can smell so bad unopened, if some of the product spilled on the outside of the packaging at the factory, or what, or maybe the shipping was just too rough for something so smelly. I may but locally next time to ensure that it doesn't smell this bad on the outside of the jug.

Works if you spray every day

Oh boy, was this something else. My husband was not expecting such a putrid smell. I bought it after the deer ate my hydrangeas, my sunflowers and the flowers and leaves off of just about everything in early spring. I found this by recommendation of a friend. He did not like having to spray it on. So I bought a turkey baster at a thrift store and it is designated specifically for putting this on by drops around each plant. I sure hope this works! I live in North Central Arkansas, where the deer outnumber the people buy a lot!

Extremely stinky but it certainly keeps the deer away. The smell does fade away after a while.I use it daily during the growing season formy flowers.So far, the best way to keep the critters from munching on my plants

Update June 2016 - Product became ineffective after using for a few years. Dear got use to it and would find what I sprayed and eat it. Most recently was 6/26 and they ate the lilies the same night i sprayed them with almost double the concentrate/ I even ensured they where coated to try and save them.Obviously nothing is fool proof so have to find a new spray without the same stink to throw off the deer...Old review belowIt is also probably the smelliest product I have used, really it stinks but not like that. It is also not to be sprayed when the windows are wide open on a sunny day taking in the lovely weather, according to the family that is :-)I have fought a losing battle for years now with my Day Lilies, White Lilies and Star Lilies losing each year. But this year we enjoyed almost all of the Lilies. I say almost all since in a heavy Dear area, which I have, they will sample a few plants before realizing it is yucky and move on.The Hydrangeas and Azaleas all got to bloom much more this year than any other also. And the Hostas where not the usual salad buffet like years past.They are correct in that you need to spray regularly in the growing season for fast growing plants and every 10-14 days, based on rain for, the others. But they are also correct in that it does not wash off easily, due to the Fish Oil, and it does provide superior protection when compared to all the other products I have used. Those products include everything Lowes and Home Depot sell, plus a few blood products from Amazon.I also tried the systemic pepper tablets, but they seem to work indifferently and if I did not spray then the plants got eaten - seems the deer like a little spice in their food but not this smelly stuff.So if you have a strong stomach this could be the product for you..
