Plantskydd was first developed in Sweden in 1991 in response to commercial forest plantations being decimated by deer, moose and rabbits.  The forest industry needed an animal repellent that could last through severe weather and meet Sweden’s strict environmental laws.  In Canada and the United States operational use since 1994 by large industry co-operators has confirmed plantskydd’s effectiveness in protecting tree seedlings from damage.  It is equally effective on broadleaf plants and ornamental shrubs.  Planskydd is now used by landscapers, nurseries, row crop growers, soil and water conservation districts and home gardeners, and results prove it out-performs all other repellents.

Plantskydd works by emitting an odour that animals associate with predator activity.  The odour is not unpleasant to the applicator.  The long-term effectiveness of Plantskydd is attributable to the tenacity of its 100% natural, vegetable oil binder in sticking to plants, even under severe snow/rainfall conditions: up to 6 months over winter and 3-4 months in summer.  As an added benefit, Plantskydd acts as a foliar food fertilizer for many types of plants.  Dryed blood, Plantskydd’s active ingredient, has long been recognized as an organic fertilizer.  All plants tested that were treated with Plantskydd were larger, had more flowers and generally had greener leaves.
