User questions & answers

Question:	How long does it keep its potency in the container
Answer:	Thank you so much for your question. Its power consumption is around 5mA. Note : 5 Milliampere (mA) = 0.005 Watt / Volt ( W/V)
Question:	Is this product omri listed? or is the word "organic" used to mean it's made of chemical compounds from plants and/or animals
Answer:	Yes you can check to see the unit is working properly by checking to see the light is on and is emitting a chirping sound which you can change by switching the level switch to high or lower. Some people can hear the chirping without opening the hood of the vehicle as it has happen to me on a few occasions.
Question:	For small critters, it says that it also works for deer, elk & moose...will this also work on small critters (like rabbits, woodchucks, etc
Answer:	I currently use it and its been working great, however you might want to double check where the 12v battery's location is on the prius, I remember it is at the back trunk not the front so that might be a issue.
Question:	I need something in deep snow. Can I spread this on snow with the same effect (and if so, will it work under new snow
Answer:	Thank you so much for your question. The protection radius is around ten feet and the frequency range is 9,000Hz-24,000Hz (Auto-Switching).

User questions & answers

Question:	Has anyone used this for nutria
Answer:	I do not know as we use one container each spring/summer season to keep the deer out of the flower beds.
Question:	Does the product"s brown stain fade from sprayed flowers? If so, after how much time
Answer:	The product is OMRI listed. In fact, Plantskydd was the first animal repellent OMRI Listed by the Organic Materials Review Institute for food production.
Question:	Anyone know how effective this might be for rabbits, moles and voles? Thanks
Answer:	The same product is available on Amazon for small critters. The difference is in the instructions on the packaging: repelling the deer requires using more product. This is the link on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Plantskydd-Rabbits-Critters-Organic-Repellant/dp/B004S6EQ1G/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1528054543&sr=8-1-fkmr0&keywords=plantskydd+granular+for+small+critters
Question:	Does this deter deer rutting too? I loose more plants to rubbing than browsing
Answer:	I've used it on snow and it seems to work well (better than anything else I've tried). You do need to really coat/saturate the area - otherwise you'll have results like Patricia states.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this repel groundhogs
Answer:	Nutria, if memory serves, are the water loving rodents tunneling into dykes causing leaks in California. That being said I've never seen any herbivore that this didn't stop.
Question:	Will this repel possums
Answer:	I have only sprayed this on perennial flowers and some shrubs, both evergreen and deciduous. In my experience it takes about 2-3 days for the brown stain to fade. It seems to take longer on evergreen shrubs as the texture of the leaf is different. This is a great product but it will stain clothes badly. And I have not been successful at getting it out of fabric.
Question:	After 3 weeks of applications, this product is causing smell to humans, have you ever experienced that, if yes, what did you do to fix that
Answer:	It worked for rabbits. I don't know about moles or voles. I would think it would work for voles, but not moles. However, I have switched to fencing as a simpler method to save the plants from the rabbits.
Question:	What is ps-vrd
Answer:	I can't give you a definite yes. It works well at deterring smaller animals from harming the plants. I believe that it is worth trying for the problem of deer rutting.

• For year round control of deer, rabbits, elk, moose, hares, voles, squirrels, chipmunks and other herbivores
• Once mixed makes 4 quarts of ready to use product

User questions & answers

Question:	Has anyone noticed a decrease in effectiveness if the box is stored in a shed over the winter? When we mixed ours this year, it didn't smell as stron
Answer:	Yes, this product should work well on groundhogs. We recommend the granular all the time for such.
Question:	What is the mix ratio with water? Would it help to have some vegatable oil mixed with solution for spraying
Answer:	This should work quite well on possums. The granular applied near the the ground is a perfect location to repel possums that are looking to feed. I would recommend the Plantskydd dry granular formulations.
Question:	Does this repel squirrels
Answer:	It may be because the product is remaining too wet. After rain or moisture, the granules will have some smell, but it should never be overwhelming. I would suggest that you reach out to Plantskydd if you would like to discuss further or request more advise about their product.
Question:	Does it affect the taste of fruit and vegetables
Answer:	Just a stock number. "3" refers to quantity of three pounds.

• LONG-LASTING - Bobbex Deer Repellent is proven to be the most effective long-lasting spray on the market. Once applied, this deer spray will not wash away.
• NATURAL INGREDIENTS - Bobbex is environmentally friendly, using only natural ingredients that stop deer browsing by using multiple smell and taste deterrents. This animal repellent will keep deer, elk, and moose out of your garden or yard.
• EASY TO APPLY - Apply the spray directly on the surface of foliage to repel deer. This product is a concentrate, so it must be diluted in water before use. Once mixed, it can be used in the E-Z pump devices.
• HARMLESS TO WILDLIFE - This liquid deterrent is environmentally compatible and harmless to all wildlife including humans, your dog or cat, birds, and aquatic life.
• SAFE FOR USE ON MOST PLANTS - This ready-to-use formula can be directly applied to ornamentals and most edible vegetables, but it is not designed for use on most edible leaves and herbs, nor on rough-skinned berries like strawberries or raspberries.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this have any effetiveness for repelling groundhogs
Answer:	As long as the bag is sealed it is fine, mine is stored in the shed and it works good.
Question:	can you use this product in the vegetable garden
Answer:	One cup of plantskydd to a quart of water. Instructions are on the box. Add the powder to water VERY slowly and mix thoroughly. If you don't, you'll end up with a gooey mess that won't go through a garden sprayer. Don't know about the veg oil but I suspect it might make that much harder to mix.
Question:	How often do you have to spray? Is its effectiveness reduced/eliminated with rain/irrigation
Answer:	It is not marketed for squirrels, but I would guess that it would have some effect since the main ingredient is still Dried Blood which is quite broad spectrum in what it repels. Again, I would not sell it for that reason solely, but it might have some effect for you.
Question:	Is Bobbex effective repelling moose
Answer:	We didn't use it on vegetables. But it is very stinky. I actually stopped using it on our flowers because it was on the walk way to our front door and I couldn't stand the smell.

User questions & answers

Question:	How to open shaker bag
Answer:	I don't know definitively, but their website (www.bobbex.com) says that it "Bobbex should not be used on food plants when fruits, vegetables or herbs are already developed." They also go on to say that it is water insoluble and won't wash off, so you probably wouldn't want to use it on something like lettuce since it has a very unpleasant smell. I would recommend that you call the manufacturer at 800-792-4449 to get a more complete answer. We have a lot of deer and Bobbex does a good job in terms of keeping them off the plants in our yard, but we have a fence to keep them out of the garden.
Question:	What is in this? Does it attract bears
Answer:	I sprayed the product as directed, every 2 months. What I did notice was that if I missed a plant or two, the deer noticed and ate those flowers. I live in Washington state and we often have rain during the spring and summer. I noticed that the rain had no effect on the repellent, it continued to deter. I found this to be the most effective spray out there. I plan on using it again in the spring.
Question:	How well does this work on squirrels
Answer:	We live in NJ and the moose have left do to the high cost of living.

User questions & answers

Question:	How long will this keep in the container? Is it good from one season to the next? or do you need to buy new each year
Answer:	After you open the slider, just pull that plastic bottom apart at the center line. That reveals the shaker. The first time I did it, I thought I was wrecking the whole bag.
Question:	Will other sprays (insecticides, fungicides, fertilizers etc) be effective while using this on rose bushes
Answer:	It is primarily dried blood (92%) and does a great job of repelling deer, elk, rabbits, etc. However, I suspect the smell of dried blood might attract bears because it certainly attracts my dogs.
Question:	is there a concentrate form of this product
Answer:	Didn't try it on squirrels, but it didn't work on deer!
Question:	Why can't you spray the edible part of vegetable plants
Answer:	We have friends who used to trap groundhogs on their property, but it didn't work - new ones just moved in. So we decided to co-exist with our groundhog mama and her litter every spring. We spray this every 10 days or so when the plants are still growing during the spring and then every 4 weeks. But we also intentionally leave dandelions and clover in the yard for the groundhogs to eat, as well as leave scrap veggies (lettuce, kale, zucchini, beans, etc) and fruit outside their den. We also let them munch on a few plants we don't really care if they are eaten. This system works for us.

Product description

No matter where we live, wild animals big and small are part of our lives. We share our space inside and out

with all kinds of critters from the smallest mouse to the biggest deer. In the wild, an animals life and survival

depends on finding food, finding a mate and staying clear of predators. The scent of urine plays a leading role

in this life or death drama. It could be said that Predator Urine was the first wireless navigation system

 The urine-scent of a kindred species can help an animal find the safe path to a food supply and even lead it to a

mate! But on the other hand, the scent of a wolf's urine sends an instinctively different message to animals

What is the message that you want to send and to which animal do you want it sent? Since 1986, people all over the world have

discovered and been amazed by the many ways PredatorPee can be used in our day-to-day activities to

literally talk to animals of the wild!

• Harness the power of natures communication system from the original brand in the pee business, PredatorPee - Est. 1986.
• PredatorPee Wolf Urine creates the illusion that a wolf is nearby.
• PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS: Package includes a 16oz bottle of Wolf Urine and 10 ScentTags with ties to create a 120 pee-rimeter. Reapply urine about once a week or after a rain.

User questions & answers

Question:	We have nuisance groundhogs that dig under our porch. We have tried physical barriers, but to no avail. What do you recommend
Answer:	It should be good for the year after you purchase it. This pre-mixed repellent stores quite well. We would recommend that you keep it away from a really hot storage area however as this could make the product not as effective.
Question:	Can humans smell it
Answer:	They should still be effective, although it is not known how every substance out there will react alongside Plantskydd. There are a number of farmers mixing it with other herbicides and fungicides and have reported good results, according to the manufacturer.
Question:	goes it work on iguanas
Answer:	Yes, there is a concentrate form; it is called Plantskydd water-soluble powder. This concentrate powder is made in two sizes (1 lb and 2.2 lb). Please search for Plantskydd water soluble powder to purchase either of these items.
Question:	how do you collect the pee
Answer:	Although OMRI listed Organic and completely safe, Plantskydd sticks very well to plant material, which is why it lasts so long. This can make it difficult to wash off edibles, particularly leafy greens like lettuce and kale etc. which is why the manufacturer does not recommend spraying the edible part of the plants.

User questions & answers

Question:	Plantskydd Deer Repellent - 2.2 pounds ---- is this powder
Answer:	We recommend Coyote Urine for groundhog.
Question:	Will this product attract predators? i have a lot of coyote, bobcat and cougar in the area
Answer:	Yes, it has a very strong smell.
Question:	Does it work on moose? they keep getting into my garden
Answer:	I don't know if it works on Iguanas. I don't find this product to be effective. Didn't stop the squirrels from munching on all my green beans and cucumbers.
Question:	Does this product deter red squirrels
Answer:	Urine is collected from animals in game farms, zoos and preserves. These wild game care providers are fully regulated by the appropriate state agencies. Those agencies conduct regular inspections of each facility to assure that the facility meets all health and treatment standards established by each agency. The urine is collected via floor collection drains in pens and cages and the animals are always treated in a most humane manner.

User questions & answers

Question:	how long will the "aroma" last? when it dissipates, does the protection end
Answer:	Yes, it is a water-soluble powder.
Question:	Is this ready to use as is? Or needs to be mixed with water? Also, is it safe to use on herbs and vegetable plants
Answer:	We have coyotes but no increases decrease since we started using this product. Has been most effective of all other products such as garlic and egg mixture
Question:	is this for winter spray last entire winter ? snow rain doesn't washes away
Answer:	Plantskydd works in Washington State on deer and elk effectively... no experience as a 4 year user of plantskydd with great success, but no experience with moose as the target. Moose as an herbivore most likely would avoid plants sprayed with this foul smelling product. good luck!
Question:	I want to use Bobbex on my flowers and shrubs but will it repel birds and butterflies from my garden
Answer:	I do not think it will be effective against any type of squirrel. I suggest going to their website to research the product. They do have other products for certain animals.

User questions & answers

Question:	What color is city grey
Answer:	Hi Texas! The Bobbex smell will dissipate in a couple of hours, but will still be able to be detected by deer and small herbivores. Your plantings will still be protected after humans can no longer smell the Bobbex !
Question:	Is there a stretch in the waist
Answer:	Ready to Use!! It is safe to use on edibles, but we do NOT recommend you use it because the Bobbex is difficult to wash off and may ruin the taste of your veggies. Herbs and leafy greens are especially hard to rinse. Spray plants (like tomatoes) on the vines and leaves and buds. If you happen to get Bobbex on the fruit wash well.
Question:	I don't understand the sizing options that are given here. I usually wear a 6 but the sizing here isn't very clear
Answer:	Bobbex products are formulated to adhere to plant surfaces. This adherence prevents wash off due to rain, irrigation and normal watering. In the winter, applicators should wait until temperatures rise above 35 degrees F. This will prevent the mechanical action of water freezing on leaves and drawing out the moisture from the leaf. It needs to be applied every 8 weeks or sooner if you see deer damage.
Question:	Will smart cell phone fit in any of the pockets
Answer:	Never has repelled birds and butterflies from our garden.

User questions & answers

Question:	Would this work to keep coyotes away
Answer:	No, it's a drawstring waist, and though the fabric has some give, it's not obviously stretchy. With that said, the drawstring itself is stretchy. I like the pants, but after wearing a few hours the drawstring will stretch and I will have to tighten and re-tie it several times through the day.
Question:	does it work on chipmunks
Answer:	when you see 6 X 18 they are saying size 6 with a length of 18”. If you go to the chart size 6 is waist 28.5” and hips are 37.5”. I love these pants I use for golf and hiking great fit true to size I wear an 8.
Question:	can i spray it around so the raccoon wont go on roof to attic and does it sink will people smell it around me
Answer:	I think a cell phone will fit ..
