SPRING & SUMMER: DeerPro REPELLENT

I need something to keep deer away from my plants in the summer.
Nothing seems to work for more than a day!
DeerPro Spring & Summer is the most effective, long-lasting warm weather Professional Deer Repellent.

How long does your summer deer repellent last?
Each application provides four to six weeks of protection that is not degraded by rain or irrigation. Now you can enjoy tulips, hydrangea, hosta and more.

I have tried everything and don’t like strong smelling deer repellents; it gives my garden a strong animal odor.
DeerPro Spring & Summer gives a lightly discernible odor, yet protects treated plants as well as the new growth, while not being offensive to the homeowner.

Why does your deer repellent work so well in the summer?
The active ingredient and sticking agent has a bad taste that deer avoid. Deer that try to eat plants treated with DeerPro will spit out the leaf and leave the plant and blossoms alone. It will not harm the deer.

Does the deer repellent have a color?
No, the solution dries clear; your garden will look no different.

Why do the plants treated with DeerPro seem healthier than untreated plants.
The superior sticking agent in DeerPro Spring & Summer acts as an anti desiccant and it helps to hold moisture in the plant, reducing the need for water, and increasing drought resistance during the hot summer months.

Can I use DeerPro on vegetables
DeerPro is not approved for use on consumables, only ornamentals flowers and shrubs.

Where can I buy DeerPro Spring & Summer?

Winter DeerPro REPELLENT

How long does your winter deer repellent Last?
One spray in the fall protects plants all winter long. If you have any trouble over the winter we will touch up a spray for free.

What plants do you spray to keep the deer away?
Deer eat evergreen trees and shrubs during the winter months. We use DeerPro only on those plants that they eat and do not spray plants like Boxwood and Andromeda that they do not eat.

Will deer go hungry if I spray my shrubs?
No. Deer feed in their natural habitat on low growing shrubs, tender shoots, acorns and beechnuts. They will even dig under the snow to find acorns. By using DeerPro you can encourage deer to feed in their natural habitat.

Why does your deer repellent work so well?
The active ingredient in DeerPro is Thiram, a fungicide that is also used as an animal repellent because of its bad taste. Deer that try to eat plants treated with DeerPro will spit out the leaf and leave the shrub alone.

Is this deer repellent safe?
EPA-approved DeerPro Winter has been in use for 40 years. People and pets should stay inside while we spray and for about an hour to give the spray a chance to dry. Once DeerPro has dried on the shrubs it is safe to be outside. It will not harm deer.

Is your deer repellent clear?
No, the active ingredient in DeerPro is tinted with a green colorant to the spray to help it blend in with the shrubs. However, DeerPro does leave a noticeable residue on treated shrubs. It will break down in the Spring.

Where can I buy DeerPro Winter Deer Repellent?
DeerPro application is available through licensed professionals; it is not available over the counter.
