Nature's MACE Deer & Rabbit Repellent - Spray & Concentrate

Nothing is perfect but this comes close

Product effectivity drops significantly

I've used this deer repellent for years, and it used to work extremely well. One application would keep deer away from our yard for at least a week, and the pellets had a very strong scent that lasted until the next rainfall. Unfortunately, something seems to have changed this year. I bought three 6 lb bags in early spring, but they barely worked. I ended up reapplying around my roses constantly and used all three bags within a month. Thinking I had just gotten a bad batch, I purchased a 25 lb bag of pellets along with the concentrate. To my disappointment, both performed even worse. The pellets had a very weak smell—I had to get right next to them to notice any scent at all. In the past, the odor was strong and long-lasting, but now it fades within a couple of days. As a result, the deer completely destroyed the buds on my roses, and several of my shrubs were stripped down as well. This product used to be one of the most reliable deer repellents I've ever used, but based on my experience this season, the quality has declined significantly. I'm very disappointed and will have to look for an alternative. One question for the manufacturer: Did you change the formula or recipe for this product? I honestly don't understand how something that used to be the best deer repellent I've ever used has become one of the least effective. The difference is dramatic, and I'd really like to know what changed.

I have been greatly pleased how the rabbits and deer have left the plants alone. Thank you for the great product. Now I need to order chipmunk and rabbit repellent
