Product Details

Through university studies, we identified which ingredients worked best at repelling deer and rabbits. We then included more of those key ingredients into one formula to make, what we believe to be, the strongest deer and rabbit repellent on the market. We include more of what really works. It incorporates a unique 3-pronged approach, by combining fear, scent, and taste-based technology into one ultimate product. With Deer and Rabbit MACE, there is no need for product rotation. The repellent goes to work fast and is long-lasting. It works to prevent deer rubbings, which can severely damage and kill plants.

Save time and money with the perfect at-home DIY Deer Repellent Solution.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

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

  • At first, the product will have a slight smell but dries odor-free. Deer and Rabbit MACE differs from other deer repellents because of its fresh, minty scent. This minty aroma is a crucial part of the deer repellent technology. Pleasant to humans but offensive to deer and rabbits, it provides the first wave of protection.

    Although we use ingredients like garlic and egg, we try to mask those unpleasant smells with mint. Now you can enjoy the beautiful aroma of nature without being repelled yourself!

  • 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 spraying it generously on 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.

  • Our repellents are effective year-round and work in all seasons. Deer and Rabbit MACE adheres well to plant leaves and contains proprietary sticking agents that make it weather resistant. It binds to plants and will not easily wash away. Applications will hold up through light to moderate rain. Re-apply after heavy rainfall.

    If you notice deer activity in winter, they are likely to return in spring. The best time to begin spraying is at the start of each growing season. After a long, cold winter, deer are eager to consume fresh growth. Consider spraying during winter as a preventative measure. Due to reduced foliage, you can apply it less frequently—about once per month.

  • Ready-to-use repellents are convenient and pre-mixed, perfect for immediate application. In contrast, concentrates need to be mixed with water in an application sprayer. Liquids can also be applied using a spray pump or sprinkler system.

    Our liquid concentrate repellents are ideal for covering larger areas and protecting mid to upper-level plants, such as trees and bushes. Concentrates offer the best value, allowing you to create large quantities of ready-to-use spray. With the concentrated sprays you can better control application frequency and strength.

    For plants under 3 feet tall, we recommend our granular repellents. For best results and maximum coverage, use both granular and liquid repellents.

Nature's MACE product being used outdoors

Directions For Use

Shake the bottle before each use. Spray directly to leaves, stems, flowers, and branches from all angles. Also, apply alongside the plant’s perimeter. Apply until the plant drips and the leaves are wet. Repeat spraying in 7 days. Thereafter, spray once per month. Apply to DRY plant foliage, and not during peak sun hours. Avoid spraying when plants are wet with dew. Allow at least 1 hour for the product to dry before watering. Do not apply before or after heavy rain.

To prevent deer rubbings, spray directly to the base of plants and tree trunks. If you live in a heavily deer-populated area you may need to apply more frequently. This deer repellent is designed to change browsing behavior and train deer to stay away. Follow directions to prevent deer from returning. We recommend testing a small area on the plant before applying it on a large scale, as some plant types are sensitive. For the concentrates, this product requires mixing with water in a lawn or garden application sprayer. See the back label for mixing ratios. Nature’s MACE™ animal repellents are designed for use around homes, gardens, properties, etc. Do not spray directly at or onto animals. The product is only effective when used as directed.

Customers said this repellent effectively deters deer and rabbits when applied consistently. "It really works!" Many praised its long-lasting protection and minimal odor. However, some noted declining effectiveness in recent batches, spray mechanism issues, and that rabbits proved harder to repel. Reapplication needed after rain.

  • Since putting down Nature's Mace, the deer have completely stayed off of our property.
  • This is the only product that I have used that is actually protecting my plants.
  • Had stopped the rabbit damage completely!!

Nothing is perfect but this comes close

I’ve used the granular Rabbit and Deer Mace for years but wanted to try the spray for the added convenience of easily treating hanging baskets. Applied a day after heavy rain to both mulch beds. Neighbors gardens were devastated over night but nothing in mine were touched. I am a believer in all of your products.

I have flowers!

Deer Mace is absolutely the best product for keeping deer out of your flower garden. I was in a panic when Amazon stopped shipping it. Only God knows why. I ordered it straight from the manufacturer website and got it in two days. Thanks!

Thanks for your wonderful Review. Your flowers are beautiful!
We are glad when you had shipping troubles you were able to get it directy from us!

Save our lilies

I called last year after the deer seem to be thriving on Nature’s Mace deer and rabbit repellent.
I can’t remember the associates name but he gave me a tip to spray not only the lilies, but a 3 foot perimeter around them.
I started that this year and the results are amazing! No buds eaten and lots of blooms. Highly recommend this product and this company!

Rabbits under control, next the moles

I am totally happy with the results I am getting with both Deer & Rabbit Mace spray and granules. It must be the addition of predator deterrent as the garlic and red pepper formulas never worked this well. I am ordering the mole product today. Thank you.

It was not exactly what I was hoping for!

Box arrived and was left outside the garage door. Animal (Racoon or possum) tore through the box, tore open the bag of concentrate, and spread it all over the driveway. I can’t say if they ate any, but it sure looked like they tried. I’d say the product may deter deer and mice but it DRAWS other unwanted vermin. So no thanks, back the lab, boys and girls.

Good Morning,
I am sorry to see that your delivery was damaged! I would be glad to get you a replacement sent right away. Please email us with your order information and we will get this taken care of right away. Thank you.

Product effectivity drops significantly

I've used this deer repellent for years, and it used to work extremely well. One application would keep deer away from our yard for at least a week, and the pellets had a very strong scent that lasted until the next rainfall.

Unfortunately, something seems to have changed this year. I bought three 6 lb bags in early spring, but they barely worked. I ended up reapplying around my roses constantly and used all three bags within a month.

Thinking I had just gotten a bad batch, I purchased a 25 lb bag of pellets along with the concentrate. To my disappointment, both performed even worse. The pellets had a very weak smell—I had to get right next to them to notice any scent at all. In the past, the odor was strong and long-lasting, but now it fades within a couple of days.

As a result, the deer completely destroyed the buds on my roses, and several of my shrubs were stripped down as well. This product used to be one of the most reliable deer repellents I've ever used, but based on my experience this season, the quality has declined significantly. I'm very disappointed and will have to look for an alternative.
One question for the manufacturer: Did you change the formula or recipe for this product? I honestly don't understand how something that used to be the best deer repellent I've ever used has become one of the least effective. The difference is dramatic, and I'd really like to know what changed.

Hi Michelle, thank you for sharing your detailed experience. We're sorry to hear about the decline in effectiveness. We haven't changed our formula recently, but we appreciate your feedback and will pass it along to our team. Please feel free to reach out to our customer service team. We are always happy to honor our satisfaction guarantee and would love to discuss this with you.

Great product to keep deer from eating evergreens

We have deer along our property all year long. This winter they did severe damage to our evergreens. Since putting down Nature's Mace, the deer have completely stayed off of our property. Great product.

This stuff works!

This stuff seems to be working for me! The deer will still get some things and it requires me to also put up a deer sprinkler, but the combination of the two seem to be working, where one alone does not seem to work.

Thanks for your review Tracy! We are glad that you found a combo approach that is giving you the protection you need!

Not working for rabbits

My Hastas are getting hammered by rabbits-I have applied the product 4 times from the day it came in the mail it worked for a few days. My roses are doing better-it must be working for deer.

Hi Mark, thank you for your feedback! When rabbits have already targeted a food source like Hostas, it can take a bit more persistence to change their behavior. We recommend applying Rabbit MACE daily for at least 10 days, making sure to thoroughly coat the plants and the surrounding area. The heavier the coverage, the more effective the results. Consistency is key when dealing with determined rabbits. If you need more product to continue the applications, just reach out—we’re happy to help and always stand behind our satisfaction guarantee.
