Deer friends,

We are getting our share of snow, ice and frigid temperatures this winter. I am sure you see deer around your house looking for anything that tastes better than what they find in the woods.

If you have not done so and you see an increase of deer tracks around your evergreens please give them another good coat of Deer Defeat Repellent, this is the perfect time to spray your evergreens just before another big storm. It’s better to overspray in the winter than under spray. Deer will be tempted at this time to try your bushes and if they don’t like the smell they will keep away. But keep in mind that Deer are desperate; with over a foot of snow and ice on the ground they will not stop trying. If you see deer come close to your evergreens and they nibble a tiny bit, they will not like the taste and will leave and not come back to try again for a while. If you notice the evidence of deer nibble, do not postpone too long to give it another coat of Deer Defeat all natural deer and rabbit Repellent. Keep an eye out for the young deer, as their sense of smell is not yet fully developed. They might find the spot that was not sprayed and seriously damage your evergreens from inside out. In the winter always make sure you spray the whole evergreens, from all the sides and adjust your nozzle to full spray as the cold temperatures will tend to freeze the spray tip. Don’t forget to shake the sprayer often to keep the oils mixed as they separate in the cold temperatures.  

For best performance always keep your sprayer stored in above freezing temperatures.   

Late January in Upstate New York: snow, ice, cold and more snow…….winter wonderland!

January always begins with a big celebration, New Year, new resolutions, but soon we return to the reality of short days, cold temperatures, and the fact that our garden is still asleep. However, this is not such a bad thing. It is a time to take a rest!

Things to do:

Plan your vegetable and annual gardens for upcoming spring.

During the calm of winter, give thought to improvements that can be made in the hectic spring season to come.

Take care of your tools! Sharpen the lawnmower blades, repair the handles of shovels and any other tool placed on the “to be fixed” pile. I don’t know about you but I always have honey do list and what better time than during the slow winter months.  

Check any potted plants that you have in a warm garage or basement for watering needs. I brought my in the house and they are thriving by the large sunny bay window. See the picture. 

Set up bird feeders and don’t forget to fill them up. Kids and pets get entertained by watching the birds eat.

End of January, if weather permitting, spray second application of Deer Defeat Repellent on all your evergreens, bushes and trees you like to protect. If you do not get a chance in January don’t stress, there will be a nice sunny day in February. I am sure if you have used your Deer Defeat Repellent as instructed this winter you are amazed how easy it is to protect your plants from total Deer destruction.   

And lastly, now that you can relax even if you see a heard of deer in your yard, pour yourself a cop of good tea or a glass of wine and take pleasure in the view outside. Enjoy the snow and rest assured that all your evergreens are protected by Deer Defeat Repellent which just can’t be beat when it comes to winter deer browsing.

Happy New Year! We survived the holidays and we even survived the first snow blizzard. Wow…. was that nasty? With the winds howling and snow blowing in all directions I hope you were all safe this holiday season.

I am sure you saw the deer tracks all around your house on the new snow the very next morning. Deer search for food when the ground is covered with snow. As long as you have used your Deer Defeat Repellent in late November or before the snow fall you do not have to worry about deer damaging any of your sprayed evergreens.

If you have not sprayed your bushes yet, please do not delay, there is still time. We had few sunny days after the storm, so take advantage of the nice weather and protect your evergreens. We have posted a link on our Home Page with detailed instruction on how to use Deer Defeat Repellent in the winter. Please follow the directions and enjoy the winter.

We Wish Happy and Healthy New Year!
