Observations - Habits of Deer
 
We have tested our spray over the past few years, throughout the entire year, so we could share with you the best way to use our deer spray. We live in Upstate New York where there is no shortage of deer. Our house is very close to the woods. At times we could count more than 16 deer in our yard. We have fresh water drainage to the lowest
point of the property which is at the edge of the woods. This is the place visited daily by numerous deer. They enjoy our 2 acres of landscaped property with various flowering trees, all kinds of flowering bushes (such as azaleas, rhododendrons, evergreens), perennial flowers (such as daylilies, tiger lilies, hostas, phlox) and annuals (including impatiens, petunias, pansies) and all kinds of salvias.

Observations – Warm Seasons
 
Deer and rabbit have plenty of grass and trees with succulent leaves in the woods. This is where they will spend their days under the shady trees but just like people, deer like variety. Deer will keep away from your yard during the day but early in the morning and late evenings, they will try to get closer to your house to taste some of the delicacy of your garden. Once they discover the sweet tasting pansies, tulips, daylilies, impatiens and just about any flowers that you can’t wait to see in full bloom, they will devour them. They don’t intend to do that; they just can’t resist the taste of some flowers. For best protection lightly spray the flowers as soon as they are about 4” high or as soon as you plant them. As the plants grow an additional 4” or 5”, give them a light refreshing spray to discourage the deer from exploring. When flowers mature and the buds start to emerge, spray them again to keep the deer away from the buds. There is no need to saturate the plants, just a light spray will be sufficient to keep the deer away. As the spray dries in a few hours it will be odorless to humans but will keep away deer, rabbit and all other grazing animals that have very sensitive sense of smell. Spray when the weather is calm, usually early in the morning or late afternoons and at least 4 to 6 hours before it rains to allow to fully dry. The spray is all natural and safe to you and your pets. It protects your precious flowers for a very long period, by creating an invisible blanket. During the prolonged periods of steady and heavy rains, use your judgment. Refresh with a light spray as needed. However I can’t stress enough, by observing the deer on a daily basis, the most important advice I can give you is to spray the flowers and all your flowering bushes very early in the spring and annuals, as soon as you plant them. This will assure you absolute satisfaction and the most beautiful flowers all season long. You will be amazed by how easy it is to keep the deer, rabbit and all unwanted animals away from your flower beds.
 
Observations – Cold Seasons

We all know that the real test comes in the winter, when deer are desperate and in order to survive they will eat anything they come across. In upstate New York we get our share of snow, ice and below freezing temperature. To test the spray we covered some evergreen bushes with burlap and some with wire net. The ones closest to the woods we fully sprayed. We coated the whole bush just before the first winter storm and left them uncovered. The location was perfect to observe the deer on a daily basis in their natural environment. These were cold months with temperatures constantly below freezing, with snow and ice blanketing the ground. In the winter it’s hard to say when they sleep, because food is scarce they are in constant search of their next meal. They had managed to push the burlap up and gain access to branches underneath. The evergreens that were covered with wire mesh - they managed to eat through the net. When they got too aggressive, the wire net separated and they stuck their head in and feasted. The evergreen bushes that were sprayed with Deer Defeat spray, were unaffected by the deer. It was like these evergreens were “invisible” to them. Only once did I observed the deer approach within 10 feet of the sprayed evergreens. This was the closest that I have seen the come to the uncovered evergreens which we had sprayed. With constant snow on the ground we could see and follow the deer tracks with ease. We sprayed the uncovered evergreen bushes just before the first winter storm and then once again in the middle of the winter. In the winter we suggest you coat the whole evergreens and any trees you want to protect with a good coat of spray, get them ready for long winter. You can use our spray even if the temperature is below freezing. It will not damage your plants. Because of colder temperatures, make sure you shake the spray bottle periodically so oils in the mixture don’t clog the sprayer. If your winters are extremely cold and long, please use your judgment. When the deer are very hungry they will eat anything they find if it’s not sprayed. We have taken many pictures while we were observing their habits and are happy to share some with you. Enjoy our slide show. If you use Deer Defeat spray as per our suggestions you will be amazed how easy it’s to keep the deer and other grazing animals away from your precious plants.
