I have tried various forms of deer repellant from liquid concentrate to shaker crystals. This has ended up as my favorite. I like the sprays because they cover the new growth which MUST be protected. This is the only spray that does not have chunks in it which clog the nozzle on my sprayer. Recommended.

I love Hostas and have many but also have many deer which love the Hostas as much as I do. As long as I apply the Invisible Fence monthly, I do not experience any deer damage to the hostas.

The best deer repellent I have used so far. Need to re-apply every 2 weeks though.

We bought this to protect 150 newly planted trees. We weren't sure if this would work or not, so sprayed some trees and left others untreated. The deer left the treated trees alone entirely and continued to eat at the untreated trees. I also spray around parts of my vegetable garden where rabbits get thru the fence, and it seems to work pretty well there too.

It does seem to have some residual effect, but you need to reapply every few weeks, especially when you first start using it. We use this often, and the concentrate is a much better value than the smaller bottles. It smells pretty bad, sort of a mix of vomit and garlic - if you're treating plants right next to your house, the smell might be an issue, but I really can't smell it once it dries.

I read about this stuff repelling rabbits but I didn't think there was any way it could smell as bad as everyone said.
WRONG.
I ordered a bottle and opened it and took a sniff and almost passed out.
Imagine rotten eggs, garbage, B.O., garlic and a host of other nasty smelling things all mixed into one vile concoction.

Does it work?
Yes.
The rabbits were eating my burning bush and they stopped right after I sprayed this around.
Well worth the money, nothing will go near this stuff.
Just be careful when spraying.....DOH....I sprayed against the wind and some of it got on my pants leg.....YUCK.
Otherwise...I give liquid fence my highest recommendation.

I live in NW Colorado Springs where the deer run rampant. They eat everything and I mean everything. I manage my landscaping using Scarecrows, motion detector sprinklers and a heavy dose of Liquid Fence. Its been two years since I started landscaping and this combination of products works great. No longer do I have droppings all over my lawn. I tried just about everything but the reviews brought me to this combination of products. Amazon prices can't be beat and delivery is always on time or before schedule.

I live in South Denver, in the rural area. I planted Mugo Tanenbaum pines all around the edge of my yard back in 2007, to create a privacy screen. Within the last 5 years, my yard has somehow become the "Swiss Chalet" for deer. I have a dog, but that hasn't deterred the deer in the slightest. My Mugo pines look like stripped fish carcass; total "skeleton" from the ground up. When I see the deer in my yard, I go out stomping and clapping; they just stare at me as if I were Mr. Rogers. I picked up a large container (1 gallon sprayer) of Liquid Fence yesterday, and sprayed the trunks of all my trees, at deer height. I also marked the split rail fence with 10 ft interval "splashes" around my yard. I got up this morning, and saw the funniest thing; where I would have expected to see 8 to 12 deer "lounging" in my yard, I instead saw split groups of deer in each adjacent yard to mine! It was funny watching the deer approach the fence. They were very cautious (as if they thought they were about to step on a land mine), approaching the split rail fence with necks overextended, creeping up very slowly. Then they turned tail and ran! I will be applying this every three weeks to "train" the deer to go elsewhere. BTW, I picked this up at Ace Hardware, for a third of the price that Amazon is selling it for. Trust me with this... night and day result. I just hope it holds for three weeks, as this is day one.

I sort of feel bad for my neighbors; they have no idea what is coming (except they can see what the deer are doing to my yard). Maybe they'll read my review and wise up! Or maybe they have wised up, and I'm the late one to the party...Hopefully my Mugos will recover. We shall see. For now, it is DEER "0" MR. ROGERS "1."

We moved to a new neighborhood about a year ago and about this time last year I planted a bunch of pansies. About a week after I planted them the deer eight about 75% of each plant. I had heard about Liquid Fence and I think I bought a quart bottle of the concentrate.I did the recommended spray program on the pansies and they gradually grew back the following spring. I continued the spray program throughout the summer as I set out new plants. All my plants were okay, but I never saw any signs of deer being in the yard.

This year I bought a gallon of the Liquid Fence concentrate and began the spray program for this year's pansies. 1 1/2 weeks after the second spraying I had evidence that deer were in the yard. They ate my flat leaf parsley (but they did not curly leaf parsley). They also ate the new growth on my hydrangea. There are at least a dozen pansies plants within 3 to 6 feet of the hydrangea. Not even one leaf or flower on the pansies was touched by the deer, so it really works. I will update this review if the pansies start disappearing, but right now my results say that Liquid Fence is great stuff.

Our mule deer here in Oregon seem to think this product is salad dressing. Some like it, some don't. However, in either case, it has to be applied frequently to even have a chance to work.

We were restocking because we have gotten good control of deer & elk predation on our garden plants that, before using Liquid Fence, they ate with gusto. It does need to be applied so it can dry for at least 4-5 hours without any rain and to get good control on tasty plants, it needs to be applied every 3 weeks.
