The spray works as advertised. It has prevented deer from eating the bushes.
HOWEVER, the bottle came without any wrapping like it used to. It was just sitting in the amazon box mingling with the other stuff I ordered.
Now, if you've ever smelled this stuff you know why it needs to be wrapped up. There was the slightest leak in my bottle and now everything in the box smells like warm death. Life lesson...order smelly animal repellant separately from anything else you don't plan to immediately throw out. Good grief.

Product Description
Bobbex Deer Repellent
Bobbex uses ingredients that stop deer browsing by using multiple smell and taste deterrents.
This animal repellent will keep deer, elk, and moose out of your garden or yard.
This liquid deterrent is harmless to all wildlife including humans, your dog or cat, birds, and aquatic life.
State of Connecticut Department of Forestry & Horticulture Study Results
Bobbex was determined to be the Best Deer Repellent tested, ranking higher than any other brand. With an impressive Protective Index score of 93%, only the physical fence barrier (not a practical or attractive option for most homeowners) worked better than Bobbex. Safe, lasting, and effective Bobbex proved it really is a great Deer Repellent!
State of Connecticut, Human-Wildlife Interactions 4(1):56–66, Spring 2010.
Use Instructions
Apply the spray directly on the surface of foliage to repel deer. This product is not a concentrate, it is readily diluted in water, and the trigger sprayer devices make it simple to apply.
This ready-to-use formula can be directly applied to ornamentals and most edible vegetables, but it is not designed for use on most edible leaves and herbs, nor on rough-skinned berries like strawberries or raspberries.
With 25 years of direct product use, research, industry feedback, and anecdotal information, our Bobbex staff has developed a knowledge and understanding of deer and herbivore behavior. Never resting on our laurels, we continue to refine and expand the natural, helpful products we offer you.
It’s no wonder our repellents are relied on by commercial nurserymen, master gardeners, rose enthusiasts, and homeowners looking to protect their valuable landscaping and plantings. Like our founder, we remain dedicated to helping you enjoy the rewards and satisfaction that come through gardening.
Colorado deer don't mind the scent and still eat the sprayed leaves
We just moved to a very high-deer population area so I'm in the process of figuring out what I can and cannot plant to survive the never ending parade of deer coming through the yard. I bought one bush to plant this fall after a lot of research, as everyone claimed it was deer-resistant, would do well in this area, and it was also labeled as such. And as an extra precaution I bought this spray to use as well. So right when I planted it I used a hand pump sprayer to get all the leaves (tops and bottoms) drenched in the solution. I've attached the photo of what the plant looked like when planted and sprayed, and then 2 days later. The deer clearly still find the plant at least somewhat tasty, as they probably ate about 1/4 of the bush. There was no rain during this period to wash it off (though it does say 24 hours after spraying it won't be washed off by the rain anyways).I sprayed it again on the 3rd day, in case my initial soaking of the plant wasn't enough (though the label says frequent sprayings should only be needed when the plant is putting out new growth, and it is currently fall and the plant has not put out new growth that needed to be sprayed in the last 3 days), and then about 30 or 40 minutes later I was out on the deck with a view of the bush and I watched a family of 3 deer come and hang out by the bush and nibble on it. They spent a long time there, with their noses right in the bush, so the smell clearly doesn't bother them much. I've attached another photo of the deer with her nose right in it right when the smell is most potent (sorry it's not great quality, I was pretty far out on the deck and only had my cell phone to snap it). It's very hard to describe the smell. It's not horrible but it's not pleasant either. Rotting mouthwash would be the best way I could think to describe it. I can't smell it a couple hours after spraying unless I put my face really close to the plant though.So as of right now, I'm giving this 3 stars because for all I know, the shrub might have been eaten completely to the ground already if I had not sprayed it with this, I really don't know. I think it's possible that they take a couple bites each and then decide it's not that great and move on, but as I've only used it on one plant and it's only been a week I cannot say for certain if the spray is helping or if this plant itself just doesn't taste that great to them. I plan on doing more experiments with more plants in the future (ie. getting 2 plants of 1 type and spraying one but not the other) and I will update my review when I can reach more of a true conclusion as to whether or not it makes a difference. For now, all I know for certain is that deer will still come through your yard (which I consider a good thing as we enjoy seeing all the wildlife), it does not actually repel deer at all from the plant/area and they will still eat it at least to some extent.
