All-season protection that’s easier-to-use!

annoying or expensive re-application, and no odor…unless
you’re a deer! |
Please click on an FAQ question listed below:
|
|
|
A: Deer Fortress is an all-natural scent-based product
that triggers the deer’s flight response to danger.
|
 |
A: Unlike bad smelling odors from other repellents, Deer Fortress works by triggering
the deer’s natural flight instincts from fear. Seven years of testing has shown that it
is rare that deer become used to "fear."
A: Absolutely! Deer Fortress is all-natural, non-toxic
to humans or animals, and environmentally safe. In fact, it’s
so safe, it’s approved for use in vegetable gardens
right through harvest! |
A: Protecting your beautiful plantings and garden with
Deer Fortress is far less costly than any other product available
because there’s no-reapplication needed for the entire
season!
A: It’s very easy to use! Just place them anywhere
protection is required. Use them individually to protect small
areas or items like flower pots or tree based hostas. Or use
multiple units, spaced 4 to 8 feet apart, to cover larger
vegetable gardens or ornamental gardens. And, the dark green
color blends with foliage to make Deer Fortress virtually
invisible.
A: Deer Fortress combines a proven deer deterrent (blood)
in a weather resistant package. Deer have been known simply
ignore all types of repellents based upon their desire or
need to eat where there is limited food, a particular food
they prefer, or an established feeding pattern. Blood based
deer repellents have been proven effective for decades, but
none that we know of have been shown to be 100% effective
for everyone or every deer. Best results are obtained when
Deer Fortress is installed at planting or before existing
plants start growing and especially before deer become accustomed
to feeding in the area. Gardeners with significant deer foraging
experience suggest using a minimum of two different repellents
at the same time. Using Deer Fortress with other liquid or
granular products will provide additional insurance for the
more aggressive foraging situations and will provide constant
protection after a rainstorm when other repellents wash away.
In field trials we observed that Deer Fortress was completely
effective with unit separations as far apart as 20 feet when
used in rural areas where repellents are seldom deployed.
But in urban areas, where deer have encountered repellents
on a daily basis since birth, multiple repellents used together
with Deer Fortress spaced as close as 3 feet has been necessary
to provide an effective deterrent. As with humans, the behavior
of an individual deer is based upon its genetic makeup and
environmental experiences and cannot be completely predicted.
We have a photograph of a deer eating the backbone of a freshly
filleted walleye in the Boundary Waters of northern Minnesota,
proving that some deer will eat almost anything.
A: Dogs can be attracted to Deer Fortress units due to the
blood (protein) contents. We have been told that approved
dog deterrents (available at area Pet Shops) can be applied
to a single Deer Fortress unit (before you put the units in
place) and shown to your dog, training them that the product
is not desirable. If you have an underground fence, we are
told that simply putting training flags directly in front
/ next to one or two units can also train the dog to leave
the units alone. Dogs are intelligent animals and once trained
they are less likely to bother your Deer Fortress units further.
Under no circumstances should you use any products that can
be harmful. We are in the process of testing specific solutions
for inclusion into future designs. If you have found an effective
solution, please let us know. NOTE: Although we are passing
on solutions that our customers have recommended, we at RepelIT
LLC recommend that you call your veterinarian for advice specific
to your pet.
A: In some cases, raccoons, chipmunks, and cats have knocked
units over and attempted to raid the contents due to the protein
scent. We have heard from some customers that putting rose
bush clipping on the ground around the base of the stake will
deter such animals because of the tenderness of their feet.
If you hear of a solution that works, please feel free to
pass it on to us at your convenience.
A: Deer Fortress is a blood based product designed to produce
a fear / flight response in deer and has in some cases proven
effective for Rabbits as well if the units are placed closer
to the ground.
A: Repellents have been shown to have a limited to zero
effect during winter months in freezing climates for two reasons.
First, as temperatures drop, the scent from many products
are reduced simply due to the cold. As a perfect example, think
of a dead animal smell, you can smell that for a great distance
in the summer but once frozen, it is hard to smell when you
are standing by it. Second, once there has been a killing
frost, the available food supply for deer is significantly
reduced, and in many areas where the deer population is dense,
the competition for food to stay alive will cause deer to
ignore most if not all deterrents.
A: Deer Fortress is weather protected. Other blood-based
products must be broadcast by hand and reapplied after every
rain, making them expensive and time consuming. And if you
don’t re-apply timely, deer can do significant damage
in the mean time. Deer Fortress also saves you the handling
of a disagreeable product. Once in place, Deer Fortress requires
no maintenance during the entire growing season.
A: Yes! We stand behind our product 100% and if Deer Fortress does not work against
the deer in your area we would be happy to refund your money, or we will work with you to help solve
the problem. Please see our Return Policy on the Customer Service Page of our website.
A: There are no refills, you will want to throw the units away at the end of the
season and buy new ones in the spring.
A: Yes.
A: Deer Fortress is comprised of a non-toxic dried blood product. The blood is a
special proprietary mix of animal blood and is a natural environmentally safe compound.
A: Currently we do not ship outside of the US. We are looking to expand our shipping
areas in the future.
A: Deer Fortress will work for one full growing season, spring, summer, and fall.
During winter months, when night temperatures drop below 40 degrees Fahrenheit, Deer
Fortress' effectiveness is reduced.
A: During winter months, when night temperatures drop below 40 degrees Fahrenheit,
Deer Fortress' effectiveness is reduced.
A. Taller garden stakes (click here to see a photo) are available at most garden centers.
The Deer Fortress units hang perfectly from these taller stakes and protect taller plants,
such as blooming hostas.
