Bobbex Rose Deer and Insect Repellent Concentrate

Bobbex Rose Deer and Insect Repellent Concentrate, manufactured by Bobbex, Inc., is a powerful, environmentally friendly concentrate specifically formulated to discourage deer and repel harmful insects while promoting a healthier growing environment for your roses.

The formula creates an unappealing scent and taste barrier on rose leaves and stems. Deer, aphids, mites, leafhoppers, greenflies, and sawflies are naturally repelled, leaving your plants untouched and thriving. Unlike standard repellents that quickly wash off, Bobbex Rose Deer and Insect Repellent Concentrate is formulated with a special sticking agent that allows it to stay in place through rain, hosing, and irrigation, making it one of the longest-lasting natural repellents on the market.

Bobbex Rose Deer and Insect Repellent Concentrate is a unique dual-purpose repellent concentrate that humanely repels deer and rose-damaging insects at any point in the season. With this product, your rose plants gain an invisible shield that helps them grow healthier and bloom longer.

Tools Needed

A handheld pump sprayer, backpack sprayer, hose-end sprayer, or an empty container of the Bobbex Rose Deer and Insect Repellent E-Z Pump RTU will be needed. 

How to Use

• Step 1: For spring and summer, dilute 1 oz. of Bobbex Rose Deer and Insect Repellent Concentrate per 8 oz. of water (14 oz. makes 1 gallon). For fall and winter, use a stronger dilution of 1 oz. of product per 5 oz. of water (21 oz. makes 1 gallon).
• Step 2: Fill the spray tank with half the amount of water, add the product, and pour in the remaining half of the water. Close the tank lid and shake until well-mixed. 
• Step 3: Spray on dry plants, coating both sides of leaves and stems, and allow at least 6 hours of drying time before rain or watering.

Where to Use

Bobbex Rose Deer and Insect Repellent Concentrate can be used on roses, hybrid tea Roses, antique roses, floribunda roses, shrub roses, climbing roses, and tree roses.

When to Use

Use during the spring and summer every 10 to 14 days or after every 2 inches of new growth, when roses are actively growing and most vulnerable to deer and insect damage.

In the fall and winter, apply every 4 to 8 weeks, depending on the severity of deer activity in your area.

Safety Information

Bobbex Rose Deer and Insect Repellent Concentrate is safe for people and pets when applied according to the product label instructions. Always wear the proper personal protective equipment (PPE) when mixing and applying this product.

Special Considerations

It does not kill insects. This product works by repelling them through smell and taste aversion, making your roses unappealing.
