In the past I had tried other products to keep deer from eating some young pine or spruce trees - evergreens. None of them worked very well. I therefore built some protective 36" tall wire cages around the 4 year old trees, but the deer either poked their head down into the cages thru the open top, or attacked them and pulled the cages out of the ground to get to the trees. I tired this product last year in fall 2018 while the cages were still on, and I had no more -0- deer eating attacks on the trees. This year fall 2019 I am planning to re-order, and try this without the wire cages. I will probably put it on at least 2 times, and maybe 3 times, this fall / winter. It is difficult to mix as some have stated, and it does foam up. I just let the foam alone and allow it break down back into liquid, and then re-stir. I have not had any issues with this clogging up my hand held 1 qt sprayer bottle. I like the fact that the red color allows you see where the spray has landed, and where you may have missed some areas.
I mix this up one quart bottle at a time, using the suggested rate of 1 cup per qt of water. The entire package (the normal one lb box) makes 4 qts. One quart enables me to spray about 10 small (24-36" tall spruce trees)
In my 2nd box was a strainer which I don't recall getting inside my first box. It is a large open bag type of shape. Per box instructions use this to filter the solution once mixed up so it does not clog whatever sprayer you are using. Tuck the material inside a funnel to pour into a normal size qt bottle. As the strainer / filter gets clogged with either foam or particles, re-position the strainer to get a new area to do the filtering.
This product can be messy and if at all possible you may want to mix up outside. It does not seem to permanently stain a surface, but it does stick pretty quickly to anything it touches and with the scooping from a bag, to mixing, to straining and pouring, you are likely to have a bit of a mess to clean up..
