Deer have taken to hanging out in a yard and deficating everywhere. I'd like to protect almost an acre. Can I sprinkle it all over the yard to keep them out? How would you cover an expansive area as opposed to a controlled area like a flower bed?
A repellent such as Deer Scram Repellent is best applied in a band around areas that you want to protect from the target animal. If you are trying to protect a large area, then you would be applying the 18 to 24 inch band around the edge of the property as directed on the product label. Typically deer repellents are used around beds of plants that the deer would be likely to eat. Keep in mind that repellents may work better at some times than others. For a large area, you may want to consider a more permanent means of exclusions, such as Tenax Fencing.
