Made in the U.S.A. Pronounced: plant-skid, it contains no synthetic additives, is non-toxic, and is not harmful to animals or the environment. Plantskydd is Swedish for ‘plant-protection,’ where it was first developed to protect its vast tree plantations from browsing by deer, rabbits and moose—while also adhering to its strict environmental laws. It is equally effective protecting ornamentals, shrubs, and food crops. Yes! Plantskydd is safe for use in protecting vegetables, legumes, fruit and other food crops from animal browse damage. Plantskydd—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. 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. For large herbivores—Deer, Moose and Elk—use pre-mixed liquid Plantskydd or the economical, Soluble-Powder-Concentrate. Plantskydd repels by emitting an odor browsing animals associate with predator activity—stimulating a fear-based response that will have garden feeders looking for somewhere else to dine. Pre-mixed RTU liquid • 1 quart / 1 litre spray Bottle—protects over 100 plants, 1 ft high • 1.3 gallon / 5 litre Jug—protects 500-600 plants, 1 ft high Research* has proven odor based repellents are more effective than other repellent systems. Animals avoid plants before they bite—not after! Soluble-Powder Concentrate (mix your own) • 1 lb / 454 g—protects over 400 plants 1 ft high • 2.2 lb / 1 kg—protects over 900 plants 1 ft high • Bulk* 22 lb / 10 kg—protects over 9000 plants 1 ft high *Ideal for agriculture, golf courses, and large estate landscapes. * Studies investigating trends in efficacy of deer repellents indicate that, of the 20 products tested, repellents with active ingredients that emitted sulfurous odors i.e., bloodmeal or egg solids, generally provided the best results. —Nolte & Wagner, USDA / APHIS, National Wildlife Research Center Olympia, WA. (Advances and Challenges in Forest Regeneration - 2000) Plantskydd is proven effective against: deer, rabbits, elk, moose, voles, squirrels, chipmunks, hares, nutria, opossum and other small critters. • Most Tested • Most Effective • Longest Lasting Plantskydd’s active ingredient has long been recognized as an organic fertilizer. View over 50 Field Tests* conducted by researchers, farmers, foresters, growers and professional landscapers in the USA, Canada, and Sweden—www.plantskydd.com “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.” Made from (porcine or bovine) dried blood*, vegetable oil, and water. An EPA exempted, minimum risk* pesticide, and is exempt from Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act requirements, specifically under Section 25(b). —E. Jay Holcomb, Professor of Floriculture, Penn State University The EPA has determined… the use of these* pesticides poses insignificant risks to human health or the environment.

Whips—if you’re planting fruit tree whips, dip them in Plantskydd solution before planting, or coat the whips using a paint brush. Then spray trees when leaves have formed. Mature trees—treat prior to bud-flush, or 2-3 weeks after. Avoid treatment while buds are forming. Treatment over foliage is enough to deter browsing herbivores. Some users have reported that the family dog is quite enamoured with Plantskydd when it is initially sprayed on plants. It will not harm animals, but it’s best to leave Fido inside, until treated plants are dry (1-2 hrs). • For best protection, treat plants before browse begins, in spring or fall. • Always treat new growth—until plant has reached full size or leaf-out. • Plantskydd liquid formulation lasts up to 6 months over winter on dormant plants, and 3-4 months during the active growing season. • IMPORTANT—spray liquid Plantskydd on dry plants—allow to dry for 24 hours. • Plantskydd is rain-resistant and does not require re-application after watering or rainfall. • Ideally, spray in the morning or late afternoon, when the sun is not as strong. • Granular Plantskydd may be applied at anytime. Re-apply as required. To activate granules, lightly water the area where granules have been applied. Protect from heat. Store in cool, dry, dark location. Keep from freezing.
