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.

Q:Can deer scram be applied on grass?6/4/19A:I’ve always sprinkled it on grass and it worked fine. But I moisten it if there’s no rain forecast in the next 24 hours. You might put it down just AFTER you mow, so that the mower doesn’t disperse any of it... Deer Scram is very effective, but after several applications, I use another product. For maybe a month, because deer get used to products. You’ll have to see if this is true for you...

Q:we have 50 evergreen trees. the deer eat the bottom 3 feet each year. do we use this or need to spray each tree with a liquid ? can this be spread without harming the trees around each of them to prevent deer from standing and eating the needles ?10/26/17A:You would need to use the deer scram as a perimeter around the area you do not want them to enter. There are sprays that can be applied to the trees also to cause a taste aversion, we do not sell them. But might be a good option also.
