This product may be used to discourage deer from feeding on shrubs, ornamental plants, conifers and non bearing deciduous trees. Use this product only at ambient temperatures between 40º and 90º F. Where deer pressure is high, consider other abatement options including fencing. Do not use on food or feed crops.

Helpful Tips: When possible, apply before deer damage occurs. Don't skimp. Two lite coats are better than one thick coat. Touch-up new growth. Re-apply if deer need more "training". Thoroughly clean spray nozzle by flushing with water after use. Wear gloves and wash hands after use.

APPLICATION DIRECTIONS:

This product is ready to use and should not be diluted. Shake container well before using product. Apply TREE GUARD directly using a pump sprayer equipped with a cone or flat fan nozzle. Adjust nozzle to obtain even coverage. Apply only to dry plants. Hold spray tip 1 to 2 feet from plants to be treated and spray leaves, needles, buds, branches and trunks subject to browsing by deer. Thoroughly wet treated surfaces, but do not apply to the point of significant spray run-off. For small shrubs such as global arborvitae 20-24" high, approximately 15-20 plants can be treated with one gallon of the product. Less product per plant will be needed for treating smaller, or less densely foliated plants; larger, heavier foliated plants will require greater amounts of product. Repeat treatments is deer damage resumes. For best results, apply two coats to bare branches in Fall, after the first frost, and in the Spring, to new growth.
