fall, one application should protect until spring.

for your flowers, shrubs and trees. If anything, the visual appearance

Questions about Plantskydd Deer Repellent
Plantskydd is an effective deer repellent also good for elk, rabbit,
moose and other herbivores. Plantskydd also helps reduces browse
damage from other animals such as squirrels, raccoons, porcupines
and opossums. This product is a year round deer
repellent for use on a wide variety of plant species, including
ornamental shrubs and flowers, deciduous and conifer trees, grasses
and bulbs
What is Plantskydd deer repellent?
Plantskydd is an deer and animal repellent developed in Sweden—now
made in USA from 100% natural ingredients. The 'active' ingredient
is dried blood (porcine and/or bovine)—recognized by the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) as an environmentally safe ingredient and
is exempt from EPA federal pesticide registration.
Is Plantskydd deer repellent safe to use?
Plantskydd contains no synthetic additives, is non-toxic and is
not harmful to animals or the environment when used as directed.
Caution: wash hands after use; wash fruit and veggies before eating;
do not ingest powder or liquid solution. Keep out of reach of children
and pets.
How does it work?
Deer avoid plants before they bite—not after! Plantskydd repels
by emitting an odor that browsing animals associate with predator
activity. The odor is not unpleasant to applicators or planters.
Proven* effective in extensive field trials against deer, elk, moose,
rabbits, and opossum.
Can I use Plantskydd on my veggie patch?
DO NOT apply directly onto edible parts of fruit, vegetables and
other food crops. Residue tolerances have not been established for
dried blood on food crops. Plantskydd consists of all natural ingredients.
Plantskydd's active ingredient—blood meal—also acts
as a foliar feed fertilizer. Wash fruit and vegetables before eating.
Will Plantskydd hurt my dog?
Some users have reported that the family dog is quite enamored with
Plantskydd when it is still wet on the plants. It will not harm
animals but it’s best to leave Fido inside until the treated
plants are dry.
How long can I keep Plantskydd in storage, before use?
• Soluble powder concentrate Plantskydd in its original packaging
lasts 2 years when kept in a dry, dark, cool (not freezing) place.
Plantskydd is a 100% natural product and will start to “go
off” in warm weather. Once mixed into solution, use within
a few days. Tightly re-seal unused powder and store as above.
Any advice for protecting fruit trees?
If you’re planting out young fruit trees, spray or dip before
planting or try coating the whip using a paint brush and a thick
solution of Plantskydd (We recommend soluble powder concentrate—follow
directions on label). If subject to spring or summer browse, spray
trees when the leaves have formed.
Anything in my landscape I should not treat with Plantskydd?
We suggest you test samples of sensitive plants before treating
large numbers. If the leaves curl on test plants, rinse with a fine
spray of water and dilute Plantskydd further e.g. 1 pkg to 2-3 gallons
water, prior to re-applying. Plantskydd will darken leaves temporarily—they
return to their normal color in a couple of days.
