I'm sorry but I really don't know how to answer. The actual repellent does not get wet - it is contained inside a plastic shell that keeps the water off of it for the most part. The shell is on a metal rod and off the ground. I put them out as soon as we plant around the perimeter of the garden and don't do anything else for the remainder of the season. Our garden is not very large and in addition, it is fairly close to the house. We have a lot of deer coming up in the yard but they don't bother the garden.

Don`t buy it!I bought a bunch of it and every plant that I put it by,the deer eat the plant to almost nothing.

We use the stakes in combination with deer skram to word off deer in our flower beds, especially in a hosta bed where the deer think they have found a "feast". We put deer skram around perimeter and stakes next to bigger hostas, etc. we use one supply of stakes per season to supplement deer skram applied about every month or two. Deer skram is affected by heavy rains while the stakes are not bothered by rain

Hello, glad to add inputs. Since the product is, essentially, protected in the plastic shell, it is fairly well shielded from the weather and elements. Therefore, it seems to be very effective in keeping the deer away from the shrubs we have placed in proximity of. The claim the manufacturer makes about lasting an entire "growing season" seems pretty accurate. I am very pleased so far! Hope this helps.

We have used these every year since 2010 with success. The contents is a granular form of dried blood which smells bad to deer and keeps them away. It is biodegradable and non-toxic. We put them out in the Spring and they last through the growing season. Today I'm throwing out last years pods and ordering a fresh batch for this year.

Depends on what you are applying it to.If it's a sofa or chair that gets used on a regular basis I would recommend once every 90 days to keep the leather moist. If it's a jacket or shoes and they tend to be out in the rain every 30 days.

I think it should be, at least for a couple of months or so, depending on how big the bushes are. I heard its not as effective if the caterpillars are really big. Apparently its better at stopping them before they appear In the first place.

I am not sure. My use is in Highlands, NC where we are a semi-rain forest. My use is to deter deer from eating my hosta. For that it seems to be working if I apply it about once a month.

I use this wrap to deter wild rabbits from chewing our young fruit trees in our pasture. It works when multiple layers are wrapped. I don't think that would stand up to deer rubbing. For that I would suggest to use heavy duty burlap tree wrap.

My experience for this product, it does not kill grass. I use it probably every four weeks in my yard which the deer use as a pathway and I have had ticks in the area. Makes the whole place smell nice, reduces the tick population and does not kill grass. Just ordered some more for the summer.Bob

I spray directly on them, with the exception of edibles. The smell and discoloration are gone within a day or two. I won't say the deer have never eaten anything I've sprayed, but I'd say they eat 90% less, which is a win in my book. Seems to only last a week or two though, especially if you have a lot of new growth.

In dry weather, but not for long lasting effects. For outside I use Talstar and a growth inhibitor in a pump sprayer

I'm reading the directions from the back of one of my bottles right now. It says to reapply after 10 hours for protection from deer ticks, 8 hours for mosquitoes, 6 hours for gnats, no-see-ums, sandflies, and biting midges. For sunscreen protections it says to reapply after sweating, towel drying, or swimming. According to the label it retains its SPF after 80 minutes of being in the water or sweating. It says to reapply as needed but no more than 3 times in one day.

Not sure. I use it to repel deer. It really works. The deer usually ravage our hostas and day lilies. The Yard Sentinel kept the deer away, and this past summer was the first time we ever saw these plants bloom.

This will kill whatever you manage to spray it on. Bushes may take a bit more overspray, but you do want to make sure to protect the plants you plan to keep. Also avoid windy conditions that will scatter the spray.

To use as deer-repellant, the company advises against adding water. That is, it works best if applied and kept dried, according to the vendor's website (read all the way to bottom of site to see this info).

I used mine for an hour and half to two hours at a time. They say that as long as there is a hint of blue on the pad they still have repellent. I tested this and it worked. So I would imagine that one pad could last you a while. Trust me, this product is worth it.

The deerblock netting is quite lightweight. I used it for a year, then had to replace it, as it was torn in several places, though I am still using some as bird netting over a blueberry patch. The Deer Barrier fencing has been up for 2 years now (on two gardens), and is still in perfect condition.Netting: light weight and less endurance. Easier to install (bends like fabric).Barrier fencing: heavy weight -- should last 5 years with no problems. Harder to install, but quite reasonable to do so if poles are plumb, with a level mark on them. We have a constant deer population, and the gardens are well protected with this.

I'm not sure, but it's a pretty heavy spray. Some of it oversprayed onto my hardwood, and it left a sticky residue that I had to scrub off with a wet cloth.I don't think it would last through rain, but I'm confident it would kill the fleas if you give it at least a day to sit dry.

I can't comment on what materials this product may or may not damage but I use this on my cedar-sided house with no problems. From what I've seen, it lasts about 3 months, less than that if there is rain.

I found that whether it runs them off or kills them it lasts for at least a week depending on the weather. It kills the ones it comes in contact with and then leaves a residual on the leaves that either kills them or runs them off. I live in AZ so little rain to wash it away so it lasts up to a month in the summer. Just be careful & use it with very little to no wind. Plus stand up wind of whatever breeze there is & watch you don't spray yourself in a corner & have to hold your breath to get out! I've been there; done that.
