Plantskydd Animal Repellent
Plantskydd was initially developed in Sweden in 1991 in response to its commercial forest plantations being decimated by deer, rabbits and moose. The forest industry needed an animal repellent that could last through severe weather, and also meet Sweden's strict environmental laws. Its long-term effectiveness is attributable to the tenacity of its 100% natural, vegetable oil binder in sticking to plants — even under severe snow/rainfall conditions: up to 6 months over winter, 3-4 months in summer. OMRI listed for use in organic agriculture. It works by emitting an odor that animals associate with predator activity. We carry ready-to-use spray, granular, and wettable poweder formulations. |
