Customer Reviews for Deer Scram Professional

My neighbor swears by this stuff but the deer kept coming back and destroyed hydrangea - so I had to move the plant to fenced in backyard, was an expensive lesson, if deer want to eat it they will put up with the bad smell

This product Did the trick! I only wish I had used it preventatively earlier in the spring.

I have been using your product for three years and I am very happy with the results. Our neighborhood has deer that have made there home here and before I started using your product my flowers and hostas never had a chance and now the deer stay away! Thank you

This does a pretty good job of keeping the deer away from my day lilies.

This is the first of the many products I have tried to keep deer from eating all my plants and shrubbery. I have tried many, but, this product works great. I put out every couple weeks to a month and haven't had any visits from the deer that live in our neighborhood

I'm using Deer Scram Pro on the ground for Hosta and other deer-licious varieties and Liquid Fence to protect the "reachable" leaves of new Dogwood and Sand Cherry. Because I'm fairly certain deer can't read, I'll say "so far, so good." It's working.

According to direction this 25lbs will treat approximately 1440 linear feet with the recommended 8" wide scoop application around the flower bed. Also says it will last about 30 days, even with rain. Upon first applying the repellant, the smell is very evident but fades just days after application. Within a week or two, it seems like the deer ignore it and just eat flowers, hosta and anything else. I even apply it directly to the leaves which seems to help because they would have to eat it along with the plant. Best repellant for deer is a hunter.

I live in the burbs and have dear that like to use our yard as a food bar. I have used several different methods to keep deer away. Everything from deer repellant sprays to electronic gadgets to herbs with strong smells and still the deer prevail. Deer Scram does a pretty good job for a while but what i have found is that if you have several days of very dry weather, you need to wet the area down a bit to make DS effective. I have also found that after a while, the deer ignore it so i have started to rotate methods between electronic repellents and Deer Scram. One major annoyance (most will say it is a small thing) is that the 'scoop' is always at the bottom of the pail. Have to dig it out to use it.

I am still having deer eating my Hosta. But the rate that they are eating them has slowed. Seems to be having some positive effect. Similar results to Repelsall, I had hoped it would be a more effective deterrent.

Since I started using Deer Scram my roses have flourished. I am now able to keep the deer away from my roses and my hibiscus trees. You really need to put it around and in the bushes at least every two weeks particularly when it rains a lot. Thank you!! This stuff is worth every dime.

Deer Scram is the best product I have ever used and the only one that really works to keep my plants from being devoured by the deer and rabbits. You can barely smell it, it's easy to use and lasts a good while..even through rain. I have deer and rabbits in my yard every night, but since I began using Deer Scram, they don't touch my hosta and other "delicious" plants. Great product!!

Friendly service, fast delivery. Good product. Placed around Hosta plants and leaves have not been eaten any further.

I just ordered a second 25 lb pail of Deer Scram. We had good success applying Deer Scram in the fall and through the winter approximately every four weeks. Deer damage was negligible.

My experience with Do My Own was excellent. I received my order in two days! I was very pleased because the deer were eating all my hostas. Deer Scram really works.

While living in Orange County New York (not far from a large apple orchard) we first became aware of this product. We planted a number of different items on our wooded property (approx. 2 1/2) but quickly learned that in many instances we were providing the salad bar for all the deer in our area. Using this product and also by trying to plant some deer resistant plants we were able to see immediate results. We since moved to Michigan and still live in a wooded area with plenty of deer. This product is a bit more expensive that some others you will find at the "big box stores" but it is well worth it. We are able to enjoy our shade garden plants as the deer (while still in the area) are finding other "salad" Buy it - It works!

Just put on my first application a week ago and it appears to be keeping the deer away. I will be able to give a complete review in the fall when the deer seem to be more active in their feeding. My neighbor's landscapers used in their yard last year and they were the only ones in the neighborhood that the deer did not eat their flowers.

I bought this product in an effort to protectmy plants from being eaten by the deer that visit my property. I have spread an excess amount on the ground. My most recent efforts were three days ago. The deer returned and two large rhodedenrum have been ravaged so just a few leaves remain. I wasted time and a lot of money. I will seek another product.

The Deer Scram did not contain the scoop your website advertised, and the product has lumps that are not granules but hardened knots. I do not think the product is worth the nearly hundred fee it costs. A light rain does not enhance its effectiveness but seemed to destroy its power to deter deer from invading our yard.

The deer really do take offense at the product being placed around plants that need protection. Highly recommend the product.

Works better then anything i tried. Hope it works late winter when the deer are very hungry

I use this on two large properties (2-5 acres) with black-tailed deer in suburban settings. I sprinkle it directly on their favorite items, and then stripe off the specialty gardens, directing them through the property but not trying to block off the entire perimeter, which would take hundreds of containers. I use one pail for two properties per month with bi-weekly application. It took more at first, but now it takes far less. The deer will not cross the line. I also spot apply at corner spots--end of a hedge, bend in the drive--places an animal might sniff. Also about 80% effective on rabbits!. But it does stink! so be prepared for a few days of crinkled noses. Also it's best to wear a face mask and gloves that are either disposable or washable, or you will be smelling that stuff for hours afterwards.

My brother had great result with this product so I gave it a try, Saturated my hosta bed with it and made sure every leaf had Deer Scram on it The next morning I looked out to see the deer mowing down my hosta bed as if the Deer Scram was their favorite condiment... the deer love the smeel so much they have started bedding down in the ground cover next to my devestated hosta bed....ZERO STARS

We've had a wet spring so I don't know how effective this product is. I made anothet application today and we will have few dry days. I measure success or failure by how much deer poop is on my lawn. After my spring clean up (a lot!) It seems to be less. Maybe the deer have other dining opportunities?

I received this product from DoMyOwn in a timely manner. I have used regular Deer Scram in 2018 and it worked very well. Hoping the professional grade is even better. We live on a small farm and the deer always ate my flowers/bushes by my house. This kept them away! I would recommend Deer Scram.
