Deer Out Information

Q. What makes Deer Out work?
A. Deer Out is a dual-deterrent repellent that works both by smell and taste. Deer find the strong peppermint scent of Deer Out too strong a sensation for their sensitive noses. A deer's sense of smell is 1000 times greater than that of humans. Deer Out’s strong peppermint scent creates a cool menthol burning sensation that deer are repulsed by. (Deer Out has a fresh minty scent to us humans, sort of like a peppermint patty.) But even long after we can’t smell it anymore, Deer Out is still too strong for the deer's nose. No need to worry though. Deer Out won’t harm the deer at all. But it will stop them from eating your plantings. Deer Out’s combination of ingredients creates a very strong flavor and smell that deer find unappetizing. Deer are wild animals; they may take a bite, but they're not going to wipe out your flowerbeds anymore.

Q. How long is Deer Out effective?
A. Under normal weather conditions Deer Out can last up to 3 or 4 months or more. During your plants’ rapid growing stages, apply Deer Out to new growth.

Q. Will Deer Out wash off in the rain?
A. No. Here's why. We added two all natural stickers to Deer Out: Gum Arabic, which is found in many traditional chewing gums, and hydrogenated vegetable oil. Everyone knows that oil and water don't mix. In combination, these two ingredients work exceptionally well to keep the rest of Deer Out’s ingredients sticking to your plants without the addition of any harmful chemicals or commercial glues. Use common sense. During periods of abnormally heavy rain, touch up and reapply Deer Out to plants that need protection. Deer Out will not easily wash off in the rain and can continue to be effective. However, severe weather conditions can affect its potency.

Q. Will Deer Out harm my plants?
A. Deer Out will not burn, leave a film, stain or discolor.
