PLANTSKYDD®
Plantskydd® is an animal repellent developed in Sweden, now made in the USA from 100% natural ingredients with dried blood. It contains no synthetic additives, is non-toxic and not harmful to animals or the environment when used as directed. Plantskydd® repels animals by emitting an odor that browsing animals associate with predator activity. It has been proven effective in extensive field trials against deer, elk, moose, rabbits, and opossum. View this information at www.plantskydd.com. Trees and shrubs should be treated before browse begins in spring or fall, and new growth should be treated until the plant has reached full size or leaf-out. It lasts up to 6 months over winter and up to 4 months during the active growing season. A brochure on Plantskydd ® is available in the SWCD office.
