Bobbex FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions…

Bobbex uses 6 ingredients that actively deter deer from browsing and causing other damage to ornamental plants, shrubs and trees. Although only 3 ingredients are considered active by the EPA, the inert ingredients such as Meat Meal, Fish Meal, and Fish Oil also have an impact on lowering deer predation.
The combination and multiple redundancy of repelling ingredients make Bobbex a superior product over competitors. Bobbex Deer Repellent has been independently tested against ten (10) known competitors, including Hinder, Liquid Fence, Chew-Not, Big Game, Deer Off, Plantskydd, Coyote urine and Repellex.
Bobbex Deer Repellent was found to be 93% effective, second only to a physical barrier. [Click here to see test results]

Bobbex should NOT be used directly on edibles, including vegetables, fruits, and herbs. While Bobbex is made with 100% natural and safe ingredients, it is NOT intended for human consumption, and can permanently taint the taste of any edible vegetation that it comes in contact with.

Bobbex CAN be used to provide limited protection around the perimeter of edible vegetation.

Bobbex works by smell and taste aversion, can be applied in almost any climate or temperature and will not wash off after heavy rain. Bobbex dries clear and although there is a slight odor, it will dissipate within 24 hours of application (to humans but not to deer). Bobbex will not burn plant material.

Bobbex can be and should be used all year.

Spring-Begin by spraying in the spring when the plants are approximately ½ inch out of the ground.The use of Bobbex should be accelerated in spring due to the rapid growth of plant material. Bobbex should be sprayed every 10 to 14 days or 2 inches of new plant growth, since new growth is unprotected.
Summer-Bobbex should be sprayed in the early morning hours rather than the extreme heat of the day. If sprayed when temperatures are above 85 degrees F, plants may encounter phyotoxicity. This is not due to the ingredients in the product, but rather the magnification of the sun through the water spread on plant’s surfaces.
Fall/Winter-Bobbex should be used in fall months even though plants are no longer at their peak. If applications of Bobbex are interrupted, deer may lose their conditioning to avoid previously treated plants. Regular spraying of Bobbex trains deer to seek nourishment elsewhere.
Bobbex is necessary in the fall and winter months for damage prevention to shrubs that keep their leaves throughoutthe year. These shrubs include rhododendrons, arborvitae, holly, and yews. (The last three plants are some of the more preferred plant material by deer).
In the winter, applicators should wait until temperatures rise above 35 degrees F. This will prevent the mechanical action of water freezing on leaves and drawing out the moisture from the leaf. This may cause browning along leaf edges. These cautionary recommendations apply to all water based horticultural products.
Yes, Bobbex products will freeze, however upon thawing they can still be used. The only detriment to freezing is that the bottoms of the containers will round out preventing the bottle from standing upright, which may cause spillage.
Bobbex can be used on all types of ornamentals, trees and shrubs. Bobbex should not be used on food plants when fruits, vegetables or herbs are already developed. Applicators can spray up to the flowering stage of the plant. How should Bobbex be applied?
Bobbex is used as a topical spray on plant material. Spray Bobbex lightly on plant material, wetting both sides of plant foliage, including buds and flowers until the first drop falls off leaf. Plant surfaces should be dry and applicators should allow 5 to 6 hours of dry time in humid climates and 2 to 3 hours in arid climates before forecasted rain or irrigation.
Proper drying time will allow the product to set properly on plant surfaces and become water insoluble. Bobbex is actually good for plants so applicators cannot overspray the product. Watch the video below for more information on using and applying Bobbex Products.
There are many reasons for increased deer browsing on commercial and home plantings in recent years, among them are:
  • Decreased hunting
  • Gun control
  • Some land owners encouraging deer presence
  • Suburban development
  • Abandoned farming operations
  • Deer nutritional requirements
  • Planting of deer “delicacies
Bobbex-R makes a great bulb dip program to prevent burrowing herbivores from smelling an discovering your wintered bulbs. Using Bobbex-R as a bulb protector will give your bulbs a chance to survive when first planted and throughout the Winter, protecting them from burrowing herbivores and deer. Voles use their keen sense of smell to find roots and bulbs underground. Bobbex-R creates an aromatic barrier around the bulb and prevents these animals from discovering the bulb.

Instructions for the Bobbex-R Bulb Dip Program

  • Remove all loose and dried plant tissue around the bulbs.
  • Dip bulbs in straight concentrated Bobbex-R (right out of the bottle). Allow bulbs to soak for 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Remove bulbs from concentrate and allow them to air dry.
No, all Bobbex products are formulated to adhere to plant surfaces. This adherence prevents wash off due to rain, irrigation and normal watering. Over time plant foliage will absorb some nutrients, the balance will be absorbed into the root system by the plant.
