FAQs
How often should I reapply Trico Deer Repellent?
Trico Deer Repellent has good rainfastness, but reapplication is recommended after heavy rain or prolonged wet periods to maintain optimal protection. Regular checks and reapplication every few weeks during high-risk periods are advised.
Is Trico Deer Repellent harmful to deer?
No, Trico Deer Repellent is harmless to deer. It works by creating an unappetizing smell and taste that deer dislike, causing them to avoid the treated plants rather than being harmed by the substance.
Can I use this repellent on edible plants?
Trico Garden is designed for a wide range of plants, including agricultural crops. As it is a smell and taste deterrent based on emulsified sheep fat and harmless to deer, it is generally safe for use on edible plants. However, always check the product label for specific recommendations regarding food crops.
What is the coverage area for one 1.5L sprayer?
The coverage area depends on the density and type of plants being treated and the spray pattern used. A 1.5L sprayer is intended for targeted application on smaller areas, individual trees, shrubs, or smaller garden sections. For larger areas, multiple applications or refills will be necessary.
How should I store the Trico Deer Repellent?
Store the Trico Deer Repellent in its original container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure it is kept out of reach of children and pets.
What maintenance does the Trico Garden PLUS sprayer require?
After each use, rinse the sprayer thoroughly with clean water. Empty the sprayer of any remaining solution, pump clean water through the nozzle, and empty again. This prevents residue buildup and ensures the sprayer remains functional for future use.
Can I use this product in winter?
Yes, Trico Deer Repellent provides year-round protection, making it effective even during winter months when deer may seek out available food sources like young trees and shrubs.
Troubleshooting
Sprayer is not building pressure.
Ensure the pump cap is screwed on tightly. Check that the pressure release valve is closed. Make sure there are no leaks from the pump seal.
Uneven spray pattern or clogged nozzle.
Disassemble the nozzle and clean any debris. Soak the nozzle in warm water if necessary. Ensure the sprayer is properly cleaned after each use to prevent clogs.
Repellent does not seem to be deterring deer.
Ensure thorough and consistent coverage of all plant surfaces. Reapply after heavy rain or excessive dew. Verify that the product has been applied correctly according to instructions. Deer may take time to avoid a treated area.
Sprayer leaks during use.
Check that all seals and connections are secure. Inspect the sprayer body and hose for any cracks or damage. If damage is found, discontinue use of that sprayer and use the second one or replace the damaged part.
