Nature's MACE Commercial Granular Deer & Rabbit Repellent

Homeowners and landowners; growers and agricultural operations; applicators and wildlife-control professionals; commercial gardens and landscaped campuses; landscapers; property managers; lawn-care specialists; tree farms and plant nurseries; groundskeepers—and anyone else responsible for protecting plants from deer damage.

Nature’s MACE™ goes to work fast repelling hungry herbivores with a two-pronged approach that combines scent and fear cues into one powerful granular deer repellent.

• Smell Barrier – A potent, mint-forward aroma derived from essential oils overwhelms the herbivores nose and forms the first line of defense.

• Fear Response – Protein-based ingredients mimic danger cues in a deer’s environment. These ingredients release a sulfur-like scent that deer and rabbits instinctively link to predators. This "warning signal" triggers a flight reaction to keep deer away before feeding can begin.

Yes, it can be applied directly to all types of plant foliage and is safe for use in gardening. It does not harm deer, rabbits, wildlife, plants or trees, (when used as directed). We recommend applying it to the ground and surrounding areas of edible plants. Avoid getting it on edible parts. Always thoroughly rinse any produce, such as fruits or vegetables, before consuming them.

Yes, it is effective year-round. The best time to apply is at the start of each growing season. After a long winter, deer are eager to eat fresh growth. Apply in early spring to protect seedlings, shoots, and sprouts before blooms start. Be sure to apply to seedlings and new growth right when they emerge.

One application lasts about 30-40 days under normal rainfall. Deer are creatures of habit. If you notice deer activity in winter, they are likely to return in spring. Although plants are mostly dormant, deer will eat them and weaken spring growth. They act as winter repellents, preventing browsing, nibbling, harmful rubbings, and overall plant damage. Applying during winter can serve as a preventative measure, allowing you to apply it less frequently, about once every 2 months, due to the reduced plant foliage.

Absolutely. Layering the two forms is the fastest, most fool-proof way to stop browsing and keep it from coming back. Nature's MACE™ repellent sprays are great for covering larger areas and for protecting mid to upper-level plants, such as trees and bushes. The topical spray coats leaves, stems, flowers, and branches.
