Product Details

Deer and Rabbit MACE granular is best used for lower-level ground vegetation, i.e., flowers, crops, bushes, seedlings, ornamental plants, shrubs, and landscaped beds. It is safe for use in gardening and may be applied directly to plants. Our granular deer deterrents are activated by the soil, so they retain their effectiveness as they decompose. Nature's MACE Deer and Rabbit Repellent is made with plant-based ingredients.

Deer & Rabbit MACE is biodegradable, non-toxic, and easy to use. No mixing or hassle is required. This is the perfect at-home DIY Deer Repellent Solution. Apply directly from the container to quickly repel deer and rabbits. Our time-released granular formula provides long-lasting, year-round plant protection! It will naturally change animal browsing behavior. With regular application, on a 30 to 60-day rotation, you will save shrubs, trees, bushes, vines, and plants by training deer and rabbits to stay clear of your landscaped and garden areas.

Frequently Asked Questions

Don't see the answer to your question? contact us!

  • Yes. Deer and Rabbit MACE Granular effectively repels deer, rabbits, elk and moose.

  • No, deer and rabbits do not become accustomed to the scent of this product. Their natural aversion remains strong over time, eliminating the need to rotate it with other repellents. Our technology combines fear, scent, and taste cues to consistently trigger their instinctive flight response, ensuring ongoing protection for your plants.

  • Yes. Nature's MACE deer repellents are effective year-round. Both our granular and liquid formulas work exceptionally well during winter. They act as winter repellents, preventing browsing, nibbling, and harmful deer rubbing. Consider applying during winter as a preventative measure. You can apply it less frequently, about once a month, due to the reduced foliage.

    If you notice deer activity in winter, they are likely to return in spring. Prevent deer damage before the spring season starts! The best time to begin applying is at the start of each growing season. After a long, cold winter, deer are eager to consume fresh growth.

  • Yes, it can be used on all types of plant foliage. It does not harm plants, trees, wildlife, deer, or rabbits (when used as directed). We recommend applying it generously to the ground and surrounding areas of edible plants. You can apply it directly to plants but avoid getting it on the edible parts. Always thoroughly rinse any fruits or vegetables before consuming them.

  • Yes, Deer & Rabbit MACE Granular is safe for use around children, dogs, and other pets when used as directed. Because the formula contains dried blood meal, some curious dogs may be interested in freshly treated areas. As a precaution, keep dogs out of newly treated beds until the granules settle into the soil. Do not allow pets to eat the granules, and store unused product out of reach of children and animals. If your pet ingests the product, contact your veterinarian promptly.

Nature's MACE product being used outdoors

How to Use

Identify the area to protect or the problem areas caused by deer and rabbit munching (torn leaves, missing flowers, crushed plants, droppings, rubs). For the first application, apply Deer and Rabbit MACE Granular heavily and evenly 18” away from flowerbeds, landscaped ornamentals, gardens, ground cover, and edibles in danger of animal browsing. You can also sprinkle between plants. Apply a 24” (2 foot) wide barrier around plant groups. Re-apply every 3 to 4 weeks to maintain control.

In areas where Deer, Rabbit, Elk, and Moose feeding or browsing is heavier and more intense, additional and/or more liberal applications may be required, increase barrier to 30” wide. This will eventually train animals to avoid and stay clear of your garden and landscaped areas. Re-apply after extensive snowfall by breaking up crusted snow prior to application. Re-apply after periods of prolonged rainfall. For Larger Areas: Apply Deer and Rabbit MACE Granular in a 24” wide protective strip/barrier around the protective zone. Then, apply a 15” wide strip inside the protective zone every 15 Feet.

Customers praised this deer and rabbit repellent for its effectiveness, with many noting "it works!" The granular formula is easy to apply and doesn't have an unpleasant odor. While most found it highly effective at protecting plants, some reported it requires frequent reapplication after rain and a few experienced limited success with persistent deer.

  • This is working! I haven't seen this ingredient in any other repellent.
  • This is, by far, the best product I've found in my 60 plus years of gardening.
  • Best deer/rabbit repellant ever, and I had tried a lot of them before I found this.

Works as expected… As hopped….

These first few weeks after making an application, the "Deer Mace" has met the benefits expected by repelling deer. All the fresh growth here in the spring in Pennsylvania has been left alone since my first application. Pleasantly surprised. 😃

Works Great!!!

It took the deer about 6 years to find our Day Lilies however, when they did it was like they had their own salad bar.
I’ve been using Natures Mace for about 4 weeks now and our Day Lilies our back in full bloom.
Absolutely amazing stuff. A little bit of an odor but it’s well worth it.

Thank you for your review! Your lawn & Lillies look wonderful. I'm glad the Deer and Rabbit MACE has been effective!

Disappointing.

The product that I purchased this year looks and smells different from the same product I purchased before. It is not as effective.

Hi, we're sorry to hear you're disappointed. We appreciate your feedback. Please reach out to customer care and we will send a replacement.

Deer and Rabbits go elsewhere

Love the product and now many of my friends and neighbors are using it as it worked so well for me. I appreciate that it doesn't stink like so many other products I have tried which honestly also kept me from wanting to be in my yard. Great product and smell friendly.

It’s working!

This is working! I have purchased several deer repellents that seem to stop working after time. I wonder if the dried blood in these granules is what makes the difference. I haven’t seen this ingredient in any other repellent.

Thank you for sharing your experience! We're thrilled to hear that Deer & Rabbit MACE is continuing to work where other repellents have fallen short. Many customers appreciate our unique formula, and we're glad you've noticed the difference. Nothing makes us happier than helping gardeners protect the plants they've worked so hard to grow. Thank you for your support and for choosing Nature's MACE!

Great product, granules are easy to use.

Works well in my yard that functions as a crossing for many deer and a playground for bunnies. Saves all of my hosta plants as long as I reapply after a heavy rain. Thanks for a great product.

Thank you for the fantastic review! We're delighted to hear that Deer & Rabbit MACE is helping protect your hostas from both deer and rabbits. Your tip about reapplying after heavy rain is great advice for other gardeners as well. We appreciate your support and are honored to be part of keeping your landscape looking its best!

Working so far - test of time?

I have only used one application, and we have had some rain - so far, the deer are leaving my plants alone and we have a lot of deer that roam freely in our subdivision. The test will be over time?

So far so good

I recently planted a row of pansies (a salad bar for deer and rabbits) and was concerned about how long they would survive before being consumed. I bought the granular deer and rabbit mace and after a few weeks, the pansies are growing strong. I shared some with my neighbor who was putting chicken wire over his plants every night. I may have created a new customer. GREAT PRODUCT!

Dawn (California)
Didn't help

Had rabbits within a week of applying. I'm struggling to deter them and had high hopes.

Hi Dawn, Thank you for your review. Please keep in mind the Rabbit MACE is not instant action and does need to be reapplied frequently when first applying in order to establish a strong scent barrier. We recommend reapplying every couple of days for the first two weeks and then weekly or as needed thereafter. Hope this helps!

Nature’s Mace Deer Repellent

This is, by far, the best product I’ve found in my 60 plus years of gardening. I am in zone 7 and the deer are voracious feeders. I can now have beautiful hostas, lilies and zinnias. Can recommend highly.

Rabbit nuisance

Tried many different products for stopping rabbits from eating my plants. Nature's Mace granular deer and rabbit repellent was the ONLY PRODUCT I found and used that preserved my plants from being eaten by pesky rabbits. Thank you.

Worked great…for 4 days

Bought this to curb the rabbit invasion in our yard where the hares were destroying our flower beds. Put it down on a Dunday evening and didn’t spot a single rabbit in yard….til Thursday when they returned in full force. Too bad.

Hi there, and thank you for your feedback! We're glad you saw quick results at first.

Just a heads-up—Rabbit MACE works best with consistent use at the beginning. We recommend applying it daily or every other day for the first 10–14 days to build a strong scent barrier. Once the rabbits learn to stay away, you can switch to a maintenance schedule (weekly or as needed).

Let us know if you have any questions—we're happy to help!

Very Promising Deer Repellent

Deer can be very challenging to keep off the plants they like to eat. I tried a number of solutions and this product shows that it’s effective. I’m convinced enough to purchase 25 lbs after using 3 lbs.

After applying the Rabbit Mace to my back lawn those pesky little critters have moved on. The neighbors on either side of me are now hosting the bunnies for mealtime. Happy Day!

First Time Buyer

I tried Nature's Mace Deer and Rabbit Repellent for the first time and I am very pleased so far. The deer and rabbits destroyed my new hostas last year, and I'm fortunate that they survived to sprout again this year. I used the granular repellent to create a barrier next to the flower bed and sprayed the liquid directly on the plants. So far, the plants have not been chewed and are growing! The deer were also stripping the bark from a young black tulip magnolia tree and eating the leaves and buds they could reach. I used both formulas around this tree and it appears to be working. I recommend these products!

Thank you so much for your detailed review! We appreciate the feedback. We are also glad that you are using both liquid and granular for double the protection!

Disappointed

I spread a thick layer of granules (as instructed) yesterday. Today I watched 5 deer sniff the granules and then step over them to eat my shrubs. The deer around here are hungry, and don’t seem to be bothered by the “mace”.

love this stuff!

Granular repellant is so much easier to use than nasty sprays! I've used this for years, and my neighbors wonder how I keep my daylilies free from ravenous deer. It works!

MACE seems to work.

The product seems to be effective in repelling deer….that’s great! I just wish the company would tell me where I can buy this from a local retailer so I don’t have to pay for shipping.
