Review: It works and smells nice. - This past winter I was shocked to see all of my azaleas, white pine and half of an arborvitae hedge stripped bare. I had previously in another house, used some stinky repellent that smelled like rotten eggs, with mixed results. This spray has a strong peppermint oil fragrance so if some mist gets on your clothes, it is much better than smelling like rotten eggs. It does last a month. I put a chart up in my garage and keep one pump sprayer filled and ready to douse my garden from fall to early spring. It saved the remaining arborvitae that were not eaten at all. This winter I will be ready in advance. I also signed up for ‘subscribe and save’as this is something you don’t want to run out of while the deer are lurking around in winter months. I don’t seem to need to spray in the late spring or summer as there is enough food for the deer. Update 2/2026- with all of the snow I can observe to see where the deer have been at night. They are wandering through my yard but are not going near any plants that we spray monthly with this product. I have tried dozens of products over the year including homemade concoctions incorporating rotten eggs and by far this is the only product that I have had great success with and the peppermint smell is quite pleasant in case any overspray gets on your clothes Review: This totally worked in protecting my tulips from those damned ... - This totally worked in protecting my tulips from those damned deer. Using again next March-April for SURE. I couldn't smell it once it was applied. *** UPDATE *** I used it AGAIN this spring with success. But it's been rainy and I noticed that if I went 2-3 weeks between applications that SOME of my tulips were eaten by deer (and they left their souvenirs in my lawn)... However I increased application to 1 week increments and have not lost ANY MORE tulips in spite of even more rain. I am officially the only person on my block with any tulips that survived the deer and they look great. Another thought - this stuff goes a LOOOONG way. I am still using my initial 1 gallon mix that I made from the concentrate . . . in other words, I have not mixed more than 1 gallon of this stuff now in two years of spring application. I did notice that if you leave it in the gallon sprayer over the winter, it will start to clump and clog the sprayer inlet and other parts. I'm sure that's because of the rancid egg ingredients starting to curdle over time. It doesn't stink to me, it just smells slightly 'off' but that's the whole point anyway of this stuff. The rosemary oil definitely smells the strongest to me, so I don't find the smell offensive. To fix the curdling you could do one of two things: 1) REMOVE it from the gallon sprayer after the spring is over and you don't need to spray anymore... so you don't let it stay in over the winter, or... 2) pour the contents out of the gallon sprayer through some cheesecloth to strain the curdles out. Rinse the sprayer, pour the contents back in. Disassemble the sprayer wand, nozzle, and hose and clean them thoroughly. Reassemble. Problem solved. This isn't a defect of the concentrate, it's just my fault for storing it in the gallon sprayer for too long. ## Features - Dries clear and odor free - Pleasant to work with - All natural, food grade ingredients.

I've tried this product for two years but couldn't definitively say that it worked. But this year I think I can say Deer Stopper does work. We are open to the public for only a few weeks each summer and I applied Deer Stopper throughout this year's selling season. We never had more blossoms, and I found only slight evidence of deer damage, even though we experienced record rainfall for June.I sprayed starting the first weekend of June to the 4th of July weekend). I did have to spray about every ten days. I last sprayed around July 1st. The blossoms were great through the 4th weekend, but about a week later the deer decimated my blossoms. By mid July I had almost no blossoms. I wish I had continued to spray half of my plants so that I would have had a control group of plants to compare against the treated ones, but I think a fair conclusion is that Deer Stopper does work even through heavy rains, but for only about 10, not 30 days. I probably should give the product five stars because the devastation that occurred after I stopped spraying was so unexpectedly complete, but the manufacturers claim thirty days protection, a claim with which I cannot concur. Therefore, I subtracted one star, but the product DOES work, and works well. By the way, we have around 250 varieties of daylilies, in gardens spread over about 1/2 acre, so I'm not talking about just a few plants that were quite well protected by the Deer Stopper, I'm talking about almost 10000 plants that were protected. ## Frequently Bought Together - Deer Stopper Quart Concentrate - Deer Stopper II Garden Animal Repellent - Safe & Effective, All Natural Food Grade Ingredients; Repels Deer Elk, and Moose; Easy to Use, 32 fl. oz.
