DEER DETOUR has been extensively tested across the Midwest, with numerous field trials conducted throughout Michigan. On average, treated crops remained deer-free for 10–14 days, even with more than one inch of rainfall during that period. In several trials, a single application provided protection for up to 21 days, with no deer or other wildlife entering the treated food plot.

The primary goal of DEER DETOUR is to protect young crops during their most vulnerable growth stages—especially soybeans and brassicas—allowing them to establish beyond the first few leaf stages before deer begin feeding.

For years, landowners have had two common options: plant less desirable crops or install fencing. Both have significant drawbacks. Fencing is expensive, labor-intensive, and time-consuming to install, maintain, and remove. Electric fencing alone can cost around $250 per half acre, not including the time and effort required for setup and takedown.

DEER DETOUR provides a simple, affordable alternative. With an application cost of approximately $11–$30 per acre, it delivers effective crop protection at a fraction of the cost of fencing. Applications on trees and shrubs are even more economical, making it an excellent solution for orchards, nurseries, landscaping, and habitat projects.

Whether you're planting food plots, establishing young trees, or protecting your backyard garden, DEER DETOUR helps you grow the plants you want—without the cost, hassle, or limitations of fencing.

• Broadcast Application: Apply 16–32 fl oz per acre. One gallon treats approximately 4–8 acres.

• Perimeter Application: Apply 32–48 fl oz per acre when treating field edges or perimeters. One gallon treats approximately 3 acres.

For best results, apply a thorough, even coating to all target vegetation and reapply as needed according to the Directions for Use.

Trees & Shrubs:
Mix 5–6 fl oz of DEER DETOUR with 4 gallons of water in a backpack sprayer or tank sprayer with a wand. Apply a thorough, even coating to all foliage and new growth.

Gardens:
Mix 4–5 fl oz of DEER DETOUR with 4 gallons of water in a backpack sprayer or tank sprayer. Thoroughly spray all plant surfaces for complete coverage.

For best results, reapply as new growth appears or after heavy rainfall in accordance with the Directions for Use.

Mixing & Dilution

When mixing DEER DETOUR, keep in mind that the dilution rate is different from many other spray products. Unlike liquid lime, liquid fertilizers, or herbicides, DEER DETOUR performs best when applied as a more concentrated spray solution.

For optimal coverage and performance, use a total spray volume of 5–10 gallons per acre, including both water and DEER DETOUR. Adjust your sprayer and water volume accordingly to ensure thorough coverage of the target plants.
