Deer Scram Professional
Deer Scram Professional
Deer Scram Professional Deer Repellent comes from a line of effective repellents by Epic and is a repellent granule that triggers a strong fear-based response from deer by emitting an odor they associate with death.
Deer Scram Deer Repellent is non-toxic and environmentally friendly. The Deer Scram granules are not harmful to deer, but provide enough power to humanely ward deer off from an area before they can deal damage to shrubs, plants and gardens. Deer Scam Professional is effective for up to 90 days and does not have an odor during application.
Tools Needed
Deer Scram granules are easy to use. There is no mixing or spraying and no tools required. You can use a hand or push spreader to disperse the granules around on the property.
How to Use
- Step 1: Inspect and observe the areas where deer have been trespassing and note them down.
- Step 2: Sprinkle Deer Scram Professional using a rotary spreader, shaking it out of the container to the target areas where you have noted deer activity and damage, such as around flowers, plant beds, or rows of trees. It's recommended to sprinkle the granules in an 18" to 20" wide strip surrounding the entire area beginning 18" out from the edge of a bed or drip line.
- Step 3: Reapply the Deer Scram granules every 30 to 45 days to keep deer away all season long.

This is the ONLY product that works. Once a month if NORMAL rainfall and if YOU DO NOT WATER in addition to rain. Follow the directions. EASY to apply.
I had tried everything and was about to pull out all my blooming shrubs and flowers from my front yard. I was at a feed farm when a farmer heard my desperation in my voice, and he recommended this product to me.
First time I applied it as per instructions, I saw the deer on my camera, but they did not come close to my shrubs, I then would only see them on the camera a few times a week than slowly one time a month and so on. I only apply it with change of season, and I am proud to say I have not seen one deer on my property in over 2 years. I wish I knew about this before I spent hundreds of dollars on other products and fencing.
This bucket of Deer Scram lasted four years for me!

Q:Is Deer Scram safe for children and pets?9/2/20A:I have 2 dogs and 2 cats and 2 kids. The kids do not like the smell so they dont go near the area for the first day or so. The animals love to rub themselves on the ground where it was placed. It has been 2 years now and all my animals are healthy.

Q:how do i apply professional deer scram? I live in the mountains, but have a lawn and flower beds.8/4/20A:I would just follow the directions on the container. Deer Scram works for me for 2-3 applications, but then I apply something else. They get used to it. But I can use it again later or next season. Blood-based sprays work in the interim. I always come back to Deer Scram, though.

Q:Is deer scram safe to apply on edible gardens like peas and okra?5/7/20A:I do not know. I use Deer Scram around the perimeter of my property to stop the deer from getting to close to my plants. I don't believe that Deer Scram is intended to be put on individual plants.

The standard grade is considered organic and can be sold everywhere except AL. I've used professional only and have great results. we live in a deer invested area.

Q:How large a area will it cover?3/1/20A:I don't have an exact answer. Obviously it depends on how heavy or light you spread the Deer Scram. For me this depends on what is growing in the flower bed or garden. I go heavier around the garden raised beds and any bed with hostas - both prime deer targets. I actually spread the Deer Scram around each hosta in addition to the perimeter of the entire bed. I use two to three containers each year, but I have lots of beds and lots of hostas. So I'd suggest getting a container spread it and see how much you use. I do repeat application every 4 to 6 weeks - don't forget to do this. I order online and get delivery within 2 weeks, so if you need more you can get it fairly quickly.
