Customer Reviews for Deer Scram Professional

I love Deer Scram. It’s the only product that has deterred deers from treating my garden (especially hostas and day lilies) as an all you can eat salad bar. BUT, opening the container is not for the faint of heart. It frequently takes me 15-20 minutes using a pliers or hammer and chisel to get the top off. If you have deer problems and are relatively fit, I highly recommend.

Great stuff to keep the deer away. A professional gardener recommended this. The large size usually lasts a couple years for our garden. The delivery from DoMyOwn was excellant! Thanks!

Product seems to prevent deer attacks on my flowers. My only complaint was the extreme difficulty with opening the can. Had to wait for my friendly garbage collector guys who suggested a large pry type instrument used to open paint cans.

Deer Scram kept the deer away from our garden. Spread it all around the garden and it kept the deer away from the Hostas, and the other plants they like to eat. I've tried other products(sprays and powders) but this stuff worked the best.

My deer avoid the area protected by Deer Scram. My only complaint is the container is extremely difficult to open. Love the product, not the container.

I don’t know where all these good reviews come from but they’re a lie. I applied this product on a Thursday and I feel like the deer stayed away for a few days. Then we had a medium rain. The deer are back like I sprinkled corn all over my yard. They’re back 24/7 almost. For as much as this stuff cost, you’d think it could hold up to rain better/longer than something you can buy at Lowe’s for 1/16 of the price. I’m sorry but this stuff is worthless.

It works. Not a bad odor for humans. Its the only way I could get deer from eating the leaves off my purple leaf smoke trees and my grace smoke trees.

The product does not work for my flower beds. My newly planted rhododendrons got eaten down to bare branches no matter how much I put the product around the plants.

It does work. You need to refresh it after some rains and snow. But other than that it's pretty good stuff.

The didn't work to keep the deer away, They still ate my shrubs.

Deer have been eating just about everything in my yard. Started using Dear Scram and Deer issues have deterred the deer.

Was this review helpful to you?  YesNo

This has been more effective than the other label which does not say "professional" on it. So far my deer, who eat EVERYTHING are leaving my beds, bushes and trees alone. When I say everything I mean plants like Viburnum and Dogwood trees... things I've never seen deer eat before. So we are in early spring and I've used about half the bucket. This is much easier than the spray I generally use and then get stinky from the overspray. This has no stink and very simple to spread down.

They haven't touch my hostas among other plants. I ordered 2 buckets. Don't want to run out.

I have a deer problem. A BAD deer problem. I have tried Irish Spring soap, a big bag of something that was recommended and I got at the Agway, deer netting, little things that flash lights and make noise. But none of these worked. I was dubious that Deer Scram would. But it's been about 3 weeks now and although it's spring and there are tender shoots and bulbs everywhere, there's not a single sign of chewing. I was looking out my window one day and saw 2 deer just beyond the yard. I watched them for a while to see if they would come in the yard, but they walked the other way. This is a game changer! I am VERY happy.

Three weeks and no deer damage yet. Only gave 3 stars because lid was VERY difficult to remove and there was no scoop spreader enclosed once the lid was pried off.

The deer were eating my tomatoes like crazy. I previously used liquid fence and it did a decent job but they got used to it. Laid this stuff down per directions and it was a complete failure. It was like it wasn't even there

The deer ate my plants without missing a step. I used the product as directed and using a trail cam, saw no reduction in in their presence in my flower garden. I am a professional flower grower and the deer found my plants for the first time in 20 years. I was hoping deer scram was a solution but it did not work for me.

I use this alternately with Bobbex spray to keep the deer away. Keeps them on their toes running in the other direction!

Was this review helpful to you?  YesNo

This is the only product of this type that, I feel, actually works at keeping deer away. The investment was worth it, though probably going to move towards fencing of some type in the future, still the scram will be good to have around even then.

Swift delivery. Easy site to navigate. Disappointed bucket no longer includes the scoop to spread.

I could not be more pleased with this Deer Scram professional that I purchased. 1st the shipping was lightning fast.. But 2nd and most important of all, it works like a charm!! I was skeptical because I have tried several other products with extremely aggressive deer eating me out of house and home this year. They had thoroughly demolished my perennial garden including my including my huge hybrid Tea roses and had eaten all practically to the ground. This stuff is worth the money, easy to apply, has remained effective through several heavy rains. Apply as directed, you won't be sorry!

We have a 108 acre Farm mostly strawberries but we do a lot of pumpkins. The deer love pumpkins they'll stand there and stomp them with their Hooves to get all the seeds and before you know it they move on to the next one and you've got no crop left. This product so far is the only thing that we found commercially that will work and it's rather inexpensive for what you're going to gain in produce. This is our second year using it and we will probably keep you using it if the outcome this year is the same as last. Because as you know dear multiply and ours is like a Game Farm so anything we can find to keep them away from our produce is a plus

I've used Deer Scram for several years, to keep the 4-legged locusts, aka deer, from eating our shrubs, figs, etc. It always worked, but the professional (second bucket) seems to work better. It is listed as being good for 90 days in the winter (which July is NOT), but with the summer thunderstorms that June-July bring, the effects are not terribly long lasting. No surprise, given the contents. However, when fresh, or when rain is minimal, it works extremely well. I've seen deer run and skid to a stop when they came to a Deer Scram barrier. It's not cheap, but neither is losing fruit trees and shrubs. I will continue to purchase it. Incidentally, domyown seems to be the best price. Their service on this and other items I've purchased from them has been exemplary.

My wife will attest to the effectiveness of Deer Scram, so will her blooming gardens. Deer Scram keep our nusient deers from having their appetite fulfilled for blooming perennials away.

I applied Deer Scram as directed and saw no deer in my yard at all for about 8 days. Usually they are in my yard every day - all day long, so I had high hopes that this was the product I've been looking for. After 2 rainstorms, I noticed the deer creeping back in, and after 2 weeks it was as though I had done nothing. It took 1/2 a bucket to do my yard, so after reapplication for another 2 weeks of protection, it literally cost me $100 for about 1 month of protection. This is much too expensive for me. It really did work well until it got wet a couple of times, and then it quickly became ineffective. I would only recommend if you live in a super dry area.

  Expert response:
We apologize that the product did not work as expected. 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. you may need to reapply after heavier than normal rains per the product label.
