Deer Guard™ protects your growing plants from foraging deer with the bitterest tasting substance known to man and a detection agent that trains deer to avoid Deer Guard™ protected plants. Deer Guard™ may be applied to non-bearing plants such as flowers, ornamental plantings, trees and shrubs during the growing season when temperatures range from 40° to 90° Fahrenheit. Do not apply Deer Guard™ to vegetables, fruits, or any plant that may be eaten...the bitter taste will make them inedible.

Deer Guard Application Protocol

Deer Guard must be allowed to dry completely before exposure to rain. Do not use on food or feed crops. Do not apply aerially. Do not apply product through any type irrigation system or hose protortioner applicator. Do not apply directly to or where product might drift to stone, concrete or siding as staining might occur.

Deer Guard has been tested on many species of plants and is believed to be generally non-phytotoxic. It is advisable to test the product on types of plants that might be especially sensitive by treating and observing small portions of the plant before treating the entire plant.

This product is ready-to-use and should not be diluted. Shake bottle gently before using product. Apply Deer Guard directly to the plant using the squeeze trigger of the spray bottle or after transfer to any pump-type sprayer equipped with a cone or flat fan nozzle. Adjust nozzle to obtain even coverage. Apply only to dry plants. For best results, apply to unprotected foliage in the spring. Reapply to new growth as it is unprotected. Follow all instructions on the product container label.

Commercial & Power Spray Equipment

Repel Products highly recommends the use of a cone paint strainer for filling commercial/power sprayer holding tanks with DEER GUARD. These type units are particularly sensitive to foreign or particle matter. Filling sprayer tanks in the field presents the opportunity for particulate to be introduced into the liquid which may clog and/or damage the spray system. Additionally, Repel Products use filter systems in the manufacturing process of DEER GUARD to screen out clumps and dried material inherent to the industrial manufacturing environment. However, even with our best efforts, exposure of the formula to air may produce dried material or clumps which can clog the filters in the sprayer system. Cone paint strainers, which are quite inexpensive, are a good insurance policy for excellent performance.

SPRAY EQUIPMENT MUST BE THOROUGHLY CLEANED IMMEDIATELY AFTER USE AND BEFORE PRODUCT DRIES! FLUSH THE SPRAYER SYSTEM (HOLDING TANK TO SPRAY TIP) COMPLETELY WITH WARM SOAPY WATER UNTIL ALL PRODUCT IS FLUSHED OUT.
