PLANTSKYDD
REPELLENT

Animals avoid plants before

they bite—not after!

Plantskydd (pronounced plant-skid), Swedish for "plant protection," 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.

FERTILIZING BONUS

Plantskydd is the first animal repellent OMRI Listed by the Organic Materials Review Institute as suitable for use in the production of organic food, and is USDA approved for organic gardening.

​

Plantskydd's active ingredient has long been recognized as an organic (12N) fertilizer.

​

"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."

—E. Jay Holcomb, Professor of Floriculture, Penn State University

SMALL BATCH
MIXING STEPS

  1. Pour powder concentrate into mixing container.

  2. Slowly stir water into powder to make a lumpless paste/slurry. Using a whisk is ideal.

  3. Add remaining water. Stir gently to avoid foaming. Let stand for a few minutes.

  4. Pour mixed solution through reusable strainer (included), then into a hand or backpack sprayer.

IDEAL TREATMENT

  • For best protection, treat plants before animal browse begins in spring or fall.

  • Treat new growth during the active growing season every 2–4 weeks.

  • Plantskydd liquid formulation lasts up to 6 months over winter on dormant plants.

  • IMPORTANT: spray liquid Plantskydd on dry plants and allow to dry for 24 hours.

  • Plantskydd is rain and snow resistant.

  • Ideally, spray during the morning or late afternoon, when temperature is above freezing.

  • Granular Plantskydd may be applied at anytime. Re-apply every 6–8 weeks, and as required.

Unlike other repellents that quickly lose their effectiveness after irrigating or rainfall, Plantskydd is rain and snow resistant. It does not require immediate re-application and is now the #1 animal repellent choice of professional growers, foresters, and landscapers.​

​

Plantskydd is safe for use in protecting vegetables, legumes, fruit and other food crops from animal browse damage. Don't spray edible parts of fruits and vegetables.

​

Some have reported their dog is quite fond of Plantskydd when initially sprayed. It will not harm animals, but it's best to leave Fido inside until treated plants are dry (2–3 hours).

​

Store Plantskydd in a cool, dry location protected from heat. Keep from freezing.
