What
makes it effective?
The product we use works by emitting an odor that animals associate
with predator activity, repelling the animal before it nibbles on
plants. The odor is not unpleasant to the applicator.
Research has proven
that odor-based repellents are more effective than other repellent
systems where the animal needs to taste treated plants before being
repelled. Once animals are attracted to an area and begin feeding,
it is more difficult to discourage them from returning. The
product we use stimulates a fear-based response which will
have them looking for somewhere else to dine. Which repellents actually
work?
This proven market
repellent's long-term effectiveness is attributable to the tenacity
of its 100% natural, vegetable oil binder in sticking to plants,
even under severe snow/rainfall conditions: up to 6 months over
winter, 3-4 months in summer.
Plantskydd is RAIN
FAST IN 24 HOURS and repels by odor that is not unpleasant to applicators.
Note: Flowers exhibiting
rapid initial growth may require earlier re-application.

| In
Canada and the United States, this product's effectiveness as an animal
browse deterrent has been confirmed since 1994 in Operational Level
Field Trials undertaken by large forest industry Cooperators on millions
of conifer and deciduous trees of various species.
It is now considered
the most cost-effective and environmentally safe animal browse deterrent
available and is used by leading forest companies, nurseries,private
woodlot owners, landscapers, home gardeners, as well as State/Provincial
and Federal Conservation agencies.
Available in either
soluble powder, pre-mix or granular formulation, Plantskydd repeles:
deer, elk, moose, rabbits and opossum by means of odor - which is
not offensive to either applicators or planters either during or
after plant treatment.
Fertilizing Effects:
As an added benefit, Plantskydd acts as a foliar feed fertilizer
for many types of plants. Bloodmeal, Plantskydd's active ingredient,
has long been recognized as an organic fertilizer. Studies performed
by Pennsylvania State University showed that the use of Plantskydd
on a variety of flowering plants resulted in a fertilizing effect.
"All plants
tested that were treated with Plantskydd were larger, had more flowers
and generally had greener leaves. This response is typical of the
response created by an increased level of fertilization."
