Liquid Fence Deer & Rabbit Repellent Ready-to-Use, 32-Ounce, White

Okay, let’s be real—the smell of this stuff is atrocious. It’s badder than bad, it’s VERY bad. It’s like the kind of smell that makes you question your life choices, but you know what? It works. The deer in my neighborhood have clearly had a buffet on my garden every night since the pandemic hit. But now? Not so much.I have a fence in the back, but not in the front, so I’m using this on my very stinky garden. My tip? Apply it before you take a bath or shower, because you’ll need a full cleansing afterward to get that "deer deterrent" aroma off of you. Also, reapply if it rains—those deer are persistent, but I’m more persistent!I’m on a mission to make my garden the least desirable all-you-can-eat buffet in the neighborhood. The deer will NOT be making any reservations here. I’ll be using this stuff forever—because no deer, no matter how cute, are getting a free meal on my watch!

This is my second purchase which shows the product has been working so far! While it does have quite a smell, I generally apply after I'm done with yard work for the day and then go in and shower. By the morning, I cannot detect the smell outdoors anymore. Since I have a heavy deer presence in my yard, I sprayed every week for a month and then monthly thereafter since last season. So far, I have been able to leave the nets off my Hydrangeas without the deer eating them!! They have also left my tulips alone. With all the rain we have been having, I am going to give the plants an extra spray.

I can understand why this would be an effective deterrent! Smells strong. But it mimics predator urine, so no surprise there. In my neighborhood we have deer and rabbits that eat everything. All spring and summer you can walk the neighborhood and smell this product everywhere. It is that strong, so maybe consider whether that will be a problem for you. On the delivery side, consider making it your only item if ordering through Amazon. Mine came packaged together with food items. Huge mistake and oversight by Amazon. Must have been a packaging robot, because no human would put that in the same box as food. Zero stars for Amazon packaging, but good deer and rabbits that eat repellant.

This is the second time I’ve purchased this product, and both times the spray bottle broke after just one or two uses. The first time it happened, I assumed it might’ve been my fault. But now, after giving it another try years later, I realize it’s a design flaw.The problem is that the plastic housing at the top of the bottle breaks or detaches very easily, and once that happens, the product leaks everywhere when you try to use it. The smell is absolutely awful—if it gets on your hands, clothes, or garage floor, it’s extremely difficult to get rid of and makes the entire experience unpleasant.The first time this happened, I ended up throwing the entire bottle away because it was completely unusable, and it was incredibly frustrating. Even when I tried to hold the sprayer together and make it work, it still leaked everywhere. And this is not the kind of stuff you want leaking anywhere. The smell is so strong and offensive that spilling it—even in small amounts—is something you want to avoid at all costs.I bought it again, just chalking up the first bottle to whatever—but now I’m back in the same situation after using it only once or twice. The sprayer is broken again, leaking constantly. Even when it seems like it might work, it sprays incorrectly—either leaking, sputtering, or coming out in a stream instead of a spray.Now I have to contend with my only option, which is to transfer this awful-smelling liquid into another spray bottle I’ll have to buy separately. Just the thought of opening it again—and having so much of that liquid exposed to the air—is enough to make you vomit.I honestly can’t speak to whether the product actually works because I’ve never been able to apply it properly. And frankly, I’m done trying. No matter how effective it might be, the packaging is so poorly designed that I’ll never buy it again.

This is the first product of the type that works for me. A person I met on a Craiglist buy recommended the product and I gave it a try. We have some tulips in a small flower garden and deer apparently have reservations on my tulips just when they are set to bloom.....every year. Lost several and this arrived and I sprayed the last few I had left. No munching. I know my problem is with deer so it worked for them. I run into rabbit and chipmunk problems later into the summer so we'll see if it work for those critters

I've used this product for 4 years and it does a good job repelling deer but it has not worked at all for rabbits. I follow the directions exactly. I can spray at 6 or 7 pm one day and the next morning rabbits have chopped down a bunch of plants and they eat seedlings as well.I can repeat spray several days in a row and it doesn't matter. Rabbits completely ignore the repellent and eat as much as they want. I now only plant things that are rabbit resistant.

I waited 2 weeks before submitting this review. The enemy was rabbits, that used my hosta as a salad bar. They also went after new growth on the rose bush as well.This product works. I sprayed the perimeter of the plants and it did keep the rabbits at bay. After rainfall, I re-applied and the plants are now thriving. I'd recommend this product, works great!

Very effective deer repellent. Keeps them from eating several types of plant and shrubs that deer usually love to eat. I apply weekly after each lawn cutting but could probably get away with less frequent applications.
