animal repellent products
protect your garden from wildlife
bonide® animal repellent
These all-natural products effectively repels vermin and undesirable wild animals through touch, smell, and taste. It works by causing a mild irritation to an animal’s nasal passages and/or, when tasted or smelled, triggering the instinct to escape. Rain-fast after 6 hours, it protects plants up to 2 months per application. It is safe for use with edible plants, though you should avoid directly spraying any part of a plant you intend to eat, given the product is designed to taste bad!

Plantskydd® animal repellent
Plantskydd is effective against deer, rabbits, voles, chipmunks, squirrels, and more. It works by emitting an odor that browsing animals associate with predator activity, thus stimulating a fear-based response that deters garden feeders. It’s certified organic and safe for all kinds of gardening including use with vegetable plants and fruit trees. Because it is rain-resistant, the formula lasts longer and does not need to be re-applied after every rainfall. When spraying Plantskydd, it’s recommended to lightly and evenly mist flowers and foliage. Heavy spraying to the point of dripping/drenching is not required nor recommended.
Bobbex
The key to Bobbex’s success is the use of natural, safe ingredients that frighten and naturally repulse deer and other herbivores. The active ingredients in Bobbex include putrescent eggs, fish meal, fish oil, meat meal, garlic, clove oils, and more. While most competing products contain 6 ingredients or fewer (and many just 3 or fewer), Bobbex’s proven formulas utilize 12 ingredients.
