I Must Garden Deer Repellent

The formula uses a combination of scent and taste to discourage deer. It relies on natural oils and ingredients like garlic and white pepper that deer find offensive, making your plants unappealing to browse.

Yes, the formula is biodegradable and safe for use around children and pets when applied as directed. Because it is made with natural ingredients, it is suitable for protecting edible plants, though you should always wash produce thoroughly before eating.

While the formula is rain-proof and long-lasting, you should reapply it every 30 days or after significant new plant growth. Consistent application ensures the scent barrier remains strong enough to keep deer away.

The repellent has a noticeable scent of cinnamon and clove upon application, but it dissipates quickly for humans. Once dry, the scent is generally not detectable to people, though it remains effective at deterring deer.

The 32oz bottle is a concentrate that makes up to 2.5 gallons of ready-to-use repellent. Simply mix the concentrate with water according to the instructions on the label to achieve the proper dilution for your sprayer.
