PLANTSKYDD
REPELLENT

Animals avoid plants before

they bite—not after!

Plantskydd simulates a fear-based response which will have deer, elk, moose, rabbit, hares, voles, squirrels, chipmunks, and other herbivores looking to dine somewhere other than your garden, orchard, or tree plantation. Made from dried blood (porcine or bovine), vegetable oil, and water, Plantskydd is safe for use in vegetable gardens and on fruit trees and food crops.
