Taste and scent repellents are liquid concentrates that are either broadcast in small devices attached to the plants or mixed with water and sprayed on the foliage. They carry the scents of predators, dead animals or other smells and tastes deer find unappealing. Most have to be reapplied frequently, especially after rain or snow.

Repellex™ System
This is a two-part system for making plants taste bitter to deer. Start with Repellex Systemic Deer Repellent Tablets. Place tablets into the container, into the soil at planting time or into root contact on more mature plants. In about a month, the plant tastes bitter to pests. Tablets are also a 14-2-2 fertilizer. For annuals, perennials and deciduous plants, the tablets will last one full growing season. For evergreens and slower growing ornamentals they will last two full growing seasons.
While the tablets are taking effect, spray Repellex Liquid Concentrate Deer Repellent for immediate protection. One quart of Repellex Liquid makes one gallon of ready-to-use product. One application makes the plants smell and taste bad. Lasts about 3 months.
Plant Pro-Tec™
Plant Pro-Tec is a garlic oil barrier that deters deer and other animal pests, as well as whiteflies, spidermites, leafrollers, ants, aphids, thrips, grasshoppers and spiders. Mix with water and spray on your plants. Helps to deter pests for up to 10 days.
Real Predator™ Coyote Urine
Deer will go elsewhere when they think predators are in the area. Apply urine every two weeks by pouring small amounts at 10-foot intervals around the area. 30-day dispensers can also be used to broadcast the scent over a longer time.
Deer Off™ Repellent
The biodegradable, all-natural food product gives plants a bad taste and smell, but will not harm humans, pets or animals. For use on agricultural, as well as horticultural crops, it's EPA-registered for use on edible plants. One spray application can last up to 3 months, even through rain or snow, without leaving a residue on your plants.
Plantskydd® Animal Repellent
Plantskydd dried bone meal spray works by emitting an odor that deer associate with predators, repelling the animal before it nibbles on plants. Provides up to 6 months of protection over winter on ornamental shrubs and 3 months on most other broadleaf plants. The odor is not unpleasant to the applicator.
Bobbex™
Bobbex is a foliar spray that feeds plants with a beef and fish byproduct 14-1-1 fertilizer while repelling deer. To protect evergreens in winter, apply monthly from November through March. When all plants are actively growing in spring and summer, spray foliage every two to three weeks and after a rain.
Hinder™
Hinder is a combination of totally organic fatty acid soaps. Safe to spray around fruits and vegetables, as well as ornamental plants, it coats foliage and makes it bitter and unappealing to deer.
Deer Scram™
This dry granular repellent duplicates the scent of dead deer
on plants. Lasts about 45 days. Also feeds plants with a 12-1-1
fertilizer.
