Deer, Oh Deer...

Probably everyone agrees that deer is a beautiful animal, a pure joy to see when grazing on the edges of woods and pastures and mountain slopes.

Unfortunately, every home owner's feelings of joy can quickly turn into disappointment if this same graceful visitor of one's yard starts munching on the beautiful plants in our carefully planned and maintained backyard.

There are some plants that deer dislike but to protect most of them, we better quickly find out how to keep deer away.

How about an easy, affordable and effective solution, made from natural and food based ingredients, OMRI Listed® and approved for organic gardening by the USDA's National Organic Program?

Havahart® Deer Off® II 

 

The video below will show you how easy Deer Off®II is to use, no matter how big or small your yard.



NEW! Deer Off® II Battery-Powered Sprayer, RTU - also repels rabbits and squirrels - working two ways: by taste and odor. If the critter gets past the odor, it'll be repelled by the taste.

This is the first repellent on the market with a battery-powered sprayer, making application easy and hand fatigue a thing of the past - and therefore also very suitable for large lawns.

Its formula is weather-resistant, lasting up to 90 days, should not leave a visible film or residue - and will not change the color of plants or foliage.

Deer Off® II Battery-Powered Sprayer new formulation contains 4 times more of the active ingredient, dries odorless to humans - and is made in the U.S.A.
