Can the deer smell this product?

I bought this to use for a trip to Vietnam. I encountered no deer. Sorry I can't help!

The powder does have a distinctive odor (kind of fishy), but I only notice it when I sprinkle it on wet food. Of course a cat's sense of smell is better than mine. I think she will probably eat it since she won't really know it's there.

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.

Really, about anything that will release a big scent trail. As long as it can fit in the bait bag, you're fine! I prefer to use the remainders of fish, such as the heads. If that isn't available, go for chicken necks. Chicken necks are mainly for trotlines, but hell they sure they smell. Have fun, and good fishing to you.

I will not plant this until Spring. Ah deer...... Try cheep perfume. They have very powerful noses. Otherwise they seem to eat about anything or they simply pull the plants out. There is a ground cover called Corsica moss that reeks when disturbed. They may not bother that.

I have found that the product does smell more strongly the longer it sits around. Like you I am still working with a bottle that I purchased last season and when I opened it the smell was stronger. Have been using Deer Stopper for at least three years and have not found that concentrate carried over from one season to another has lost its effectiveness due to changes in smell - whether the deer do or not is another question.

I cannot remember the smell, but it's like the tiger repellant I bought, ... It works and did the job. It's gone thru the better part of a Minnesota winter and the wood still looks pretty good.

it gives a bitter taste. the main ingredient is used to keep Deer away from trees. Can't hurt to try.

My favorite spray is Liquid Fence, but it does smell badly for several hours. Deer Out seems to be working well so far for the last two years and although I have never used it on the lawn I would think it would be effective.

It does leave an incredibly bitter taste behind that works better and lasts longer than deer-off, but you should be aware it's the taste that will stop animals like beaver or deer after the first couple of bites and not the odor, although it probably does have some odor to an animal.

Hi Carey, I don't know about deer, but it does seem to deter racoons, and perhaps fox. It startled my grandchildren the first time as well. Cheers, Ed Peoples

This product may have worked in the beginning but the deer have eaten most of my flowers. I don't think I will buy it again.

I am not sure but the mint smell is very strong which will deter animals. Hope this helps!

What smell? There was no smell from mine. Was your package outside and an animal tangled with it?

I used to have a hamster to which I fed alfalfa pellets. This attractant smells like those alfalfa pellets. I don't sense a catnip smell.

The only thing you have to worry about with deer is, when they jump over it, they have a tendency to "hit it", at least in our experience, and you need to check it depending on what type of posts and "holders" you use; as to pets, they'll know it real quick; we have 3 dogs, they know where to duck and how far to duck or find another path. ANY animal can sense the electricity in it - ANY animal! They'll stay away from it; if they don't, they'll learn on the first time.

Yes, I have noticed the smell in the last orders we have.. The odor is so strong that I am worried if it is harmful to the animal.
