Gardeners and homeowners know the challenge of keeping deer and other wildlife away from their plants, especially as the seasons change and food sources in nature become scarce. If you’re searching for a reliable solution to protect your garden, Bonide Repels All is a highly effective, all-natural deer repellent available at Strader’s Garden Centers. This product not only deters deer but also repels over a dozen other common garden pests, ensuring your plants, flowers, and shrubs remain untouched and thrive throughout the year.
What is Bonide Repels All?
Bonide Repels All is a powerful animal repellent that uses natural, organic ingredients to create a scent and taste barrier that animals instinctively avoid. The formula is designed to protect your plants from deer, rabbits, squirrels, raccoons, skunks, and more, without causing any harm to the animals themselves. This makes it a humane and eco-friendly way to guard your garden.
Bonide Repels All is available in various forms, including:
- Ready-to-Use Spray: Ideal for small gardens, flower beds, or individual plants.
- Granules: Perfect for larger areas, such as lawns or landscaping beds, and can last up to two months after application.
- Concentrate: A great option for those who need to cover a wide area or who want to mix their own solution.
How It Works
Bonide Repels All utilizes a unique blend of ingredients that appeal to animals’ senses of taste, smell, and touch. The formula includes components like putrescent egg solids, garlic, and capsaicin (from hot peppers), which create an unpleasant scent and taste for wildlife. When animals come into contact with the treated area, they are repelled by the offensive smell or taste, encouraging them to seek food and shelter elsewhere.
This multi-sensory approach makes it highly effective across a wide range of pests, including deer, who are particularly sensitive to strong odors.
Key Benefits of Bonide Repels All
- Long-Lasting Protection: One of the standout features of Bonide Repels All is its long-lasting protection. Depending on the weather and environmental conditions, the granules can last up to two months, while the spray generally needs to be reapplied every few weeks. This longevity makes it one of the more convenient options for repelling deer and other animals, as you won’t need to constantly reapply.
- Safe for Plants and Pets: Bonide Repels All is safe to use on all plant types, including ornamental flowers, shrubs, trees, and even edible vegetables (though it’s best to avoid direct contact with edible parts). The natural ingredients mean it’s safe for pets and children to be around once the product has dried.
- Rain Resistant: The formula is designed to withstand rain and watering, although heavy rainfall may require a reapplication. This rain resistance makes it ideal for outdoor use throughout different weather conditions, ensuring consistent protection.
- Versatile Application: Whether you have a small flower bed, a vegetable garden, or large landscaping areas, Bonide Repels All offers versatile application options. Use the ready-to-spray bottle for small spaces or the granules for larger areas like lawns or borders around your property. The concentrate option allows you to customize the strength and coverage based on your needs.
- Humane Solution: Rather than relying on harmful chemicals or traps, it repels animals using scents and tastes that are unpleasant but not harmful. This humane approach ensures that deer and other wildlife are simply deterred, rather than injured.
Why Bonide Repels All is Ideal for Deer Control
Deer can wreak havoc on gardens and landscaped areas, devouring foliage, flowers, and even the bark of trees. With fewer natural food sources available during certain times of the year, deer often wander into residential areas in search of easy meals. Bonide Repels All provides a strong deterrent by leveraging the deer’s highly sensitive sense of smell. The combination of ingredients confuses and overwhelms their olfactory senses, making your garden an unappealing place for them to forage.
Additionally, because the formula is rain-resistant and long-lasting, you don’t have to worry about constant reapplication after every storm or watering. For homeowners in areas with high deer populations, this means peace of mind knowing their garden will remain protected.
Using Bonide Repels All for Optimal Results
To get the best results from Bonide Repels All, it’s important to follow the instructions on the product packaging carefully. Here are a few tips:
- Spray directly on plants: When using the spray, be sure to coat the plants thoroughly, focusing on new growth and areas where deer tend to feed.
- Apply granules along borders: When using the granules, spread them along the borders of your garden, flower beds, or property to create a protective perimeter. Reapply every two months or as needed.
- Reapply after heavy rain: Although the formula is rain-resistant, reapply the product after heavy rainfall to maintain maximum effectiveness.
