Messinas 073111 Deer Stopper Original Deer Repellent Concentrate, 2.5 gallon

This product works extremely well I’ve been using it at least 15 years it’s easy to apply the ratio of water to product is 9 to 1 or roughly 13 ounces per gallon

Bought this because we have a ton of deer in our new neighborhood who hear eat everyone’s plants. I’ve used this a couple times since we moved in (new construction, lots of new plants) and so far they haven’t eaten any of our plants. I will continue to use once a month.

When I first started this product it was extremely effective. I told all my friends. Two years later it became just salad dressing on my flowers for the deer. Now I would say it is about 80% effective if you apply it every other day.

Love the product—it does help to keep the deer away and the smell is not unpleasant to humans. Have been using Deer Stopper for several years and have ordered it from Amazon before. However, it was much better when the containers were gallon size. The 2.5 gallon size, although the cheapest per ounce, is very heavy and awkward to use. Try shaking it before use, like you are supposed to!!! I have to pour some of it into the empty gallon size container before shaking, measuring and diluting it in the sprayer. Also, the price for the concentrate has gone up astronomically for all sizes. Perhaps I should not have written such very positive reviews previously 🙃?

I can't believe how much the price has went up since last summer. Unbelievable..I have used hundreds of gallons of this stuff for my deer food plots. I'm going to have to find something different.
