Can I use this during the winter? The deer only go after my rhodies and azaleas during the cold-weather months.

I use my Liquid Fence during the winter to protect my Knock-out roses, rhodies, azaleas, and pansies. I live in South Carolilna, so your weather patterns might be different. I find that by using the Liquid Fence during the winter, the deer and squirrels by-pass my bushes and plants and, with continued use in the spring, don't nibble on the new, tender buds. Hope this helps.

I have deer in my yard all the time and they haven't done anything to my edging. They get my flowers but haven't hurt the edging once. It's held up nicely in our harsh ND weather.

I've used mine on known game trails and areas I've baited. I used it at bait sites to make sure I was getting the type animals at the bait that I wanted. I've used it in rainy weather with no problems but not in weather cold enough to produce ice. My thought is that it would work fine in cold weather as long as you used something to keep snow off the lens.

I'm sorry that I do not know the answer to this question, but surely a local nursery could answer that question for you. We have some cold winters here in North Central Texas, however I do not believe our winters are like what you could have in the Denver area.

Yes you can, mine did great last summer, but died during the winter. I will plant more this Spring and hope it will take hold better and live through the Winter. Good Luck

I have to disagree with "Jay" and say, in my experience, yes! I bought this specifically to keep deer out and it works. I live in a town that has no culling, so deer are everywhere. I just wrapped this around my plants and I didn't lose anything this year! What might have worked in my favor is that I didn't try to make a fence or anything. I container garden, so I just wrapped the netting around my plants so they were completely covered. The plants I didn't wrap, a few flowers, did get eaten toward the end of the summer.

Yes! but it depends on the situations like weather(sunlight, etc) and the game; if the game cannot move with serious wounds, yes you can.If its rainny or snowing, its perfect! But remember when the game's body heats going low, and the smaller the game's size, more difficult.I got a couple of water deear in the bush with this cam last fall. Maybe deers thought i cound not see them. I expect them like that this year.Hope you have a great hunt~

Hi, You would likely need a heater in the winter to keep the temperature regulated to the needs of your plants.

Buy the concentrate and use as much as you need, then rinse out your sprayer, don't keep mixed product. We have saved the concentrate and used that year to year with no problem. Just keep it where it won't freeze and thaw. Last year was terrible for hydrangeas and even wilt pruf didn't save the buds when we had prolonged very cold weather early spring. Let's hope for a better year. Christine and Richard

Hello , by the name , this plant came from the very cold area , I think it will be ok in yours. Try to grow at very sunny location where snow melts fast , and close to your house , the hit helps a lot and the first few years , try to cover it's trunk . Good luck .

I think we need to look at this from another perspective. You want to use this product when you are reasonably certain that the plant will take it up (i.e., absorb it). Since plants tend to be dormant in cold weather, mobility within the stems or trunks would be extremely limited. Thus, it is my practical belief (I am not a scientist) that a plant wouldn't be absorbing much of the Bonide during dormancy. My suggestion would be to wait for warmer weather before applying the product. Regards.

From my limited experience with gardening and deer in the northeast U.S. I must say that any purslane seems to vulnerable to deer feeding habits. If you really want to please the deer plant very expensive hosta hybrids,deer REALLY like these! Seriously though i wish you success in your deer aiding efforts. I'm sure you have a different agenda than North east gardeners.For us question is similar to asking "What food should I leave in my kitchen to best attract and enhance roach populations. Best luck in your quest!

Don't know yet. I just planted some vegies where there has been deer activity every knight. It will take a while before I can respond.

Plantskydd is sprayed directly on the plants you want to protect. However, this spring, as the snow melts and my spring bulbs start coming up, I plan to spray the ground surrounding the flowers. I think this will work because the smell of the coyote urine and the blood should keep the deer away. On higher shrubs you need to spray directly onto them.

I use this early in the year when it is too cold for liquid sprays. It has been effective for me and I've been able to have my bulbs and hostas grow. Our deer population has exploded and without some treatment, the flowers and plants are totally munched down. I use it on low growing items. I'm not sure how it would work once plants are taller and shrubs; I switch to a spray called Deer Out. The granules seem to work for weeks and after rains. It is easy to apply and minimal odor. As another reviewer commented, nothing is really full proof against hungry deer, but this has been a very effective product for me. I use this early in the year when it is too cold for liquid sprays.

Depends where you live. If you get snow, leave it until spring. Otherwise it should work but it needs to build heat to bresk down the leaves. Above 40 degrees for sure.

Short answer is yes. I had three deer quartered in mine earlier this deer season. Just remember it's a $60 Igloo not a $500 Yeti/Icehole/Pelican/etc. Supercooler ... the hinges and latches will need to be replaced WHEN they break and you will need to keep replenishing the ice if you are going to want to hold your game for an extended time.
