Deer Scram will last for 30 to 45 days per the product label. Light rainfall actually enhances the product. If you have a heavy rain, the product may need to be reapplied.

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.

There is a slight formulation difference between the Pro and regular deer scram per the manufacturer. Deer Scram Professional will provide 30 days of protection under normal irrigation and rainfall conditions, and up to 90 days in the winter even working under fresh snow. The manufacturer also only guarantees the Pro version.

While the regular Deer Scram comes in smaller buckets and comes with a pail and does not last as long. You also need to apply the professional via a spreader while the regular comes with a pail to apply.
