Deer Stopper Messina RBW-132 Deer Repellent Ribbon 3/4" x 1320' White — PLOTSAVER, Essential-Oil Scent Barrier

This is a PLOTSAVER-treated 3/4" by 1320' white ribbon that creates a sensory and visible barrier to discourage deer, elk and moose from crossing protected planting or reforestation areas.

Protecting a food plot, newly seeded area, or young trees requires planning and ongoing care—then one unexpected visit from deer can erase weeks or months of work. The Messina RBW-132 ribbon is part of the PLOTSAVER system: a durable ribbon material designed to be sprayed with the all-natural PLOTSAVER liquid repellent. The liquid relies on essential oils like mint and rosemary to create a temporary sensory deterrent while the ribbon provides a clear physical marker that animals tend to avoid.

How does this ribbon keep wildlife away from my planting?

The ribbon works as a two-part system: the PLOTSAVER liquid repellent adds scent-based aversion, and the visible ribbon forms a clear perimeter animals learn to avoid. The repellent dries clear and nearly odorless to people, yet the sensory cues remain effective for weeks. Reapply the repellent approximately every 30 days or after heavy weather for consistent protection.

• Uses essential-oil-based liquid repellent (mint, rosemary) for sensory deterrence
• Ribbon provides a physical, visible boundary animals are reluctant to cross
• Repellent dries clear and is easy to spray onto the ribbon
• Reapplication recommended about every 30 days or after heavy rain

How large an area will one roll cover and how is it installed?

The ribbon is 3/4-inch wide and 1,320 feet long, making it practical for fencing off plots, tree rows, or perimeter sections without bulky posts. Installation is simple: string the ribbon between stakes, trees, or posts at a visible height to create an unmistakable boundary. For larger areas you can run multiple lengths or wrap around specific target zones.

• 1,320-foot length covers long rows or multiple short perimeters
• 3/4" width balances visibility with low wind resistance
• Easily tied to stakes, posts, or existing supports—no special tools needed
• Combine several rolls to surround larger fields or irregular shapes

Is the repellent safe and will the ribbon damage my plants?

The PLOTSAVER liquid repellent is formulated from natural essential oils and is designed to be a humane, non-toxic option for use around agricultural and reforestation sites. It dries clear and is intended for application onto the ribbon rather than directly over foliage, minimizing contact with leaves or seedlings. Always follow application guidelines and avoid over-saturating plants.

• All-natural formulation based on essential oils—no harsh chemicals listed
• Spray onto the ribbon so repellent acts as a perimeter scent barrier
• Drying finish is clear and non-staining for typical outdoor use
• Reapply per instructions; avoid direct heavy spray onto delicate seedlings

Which color ribbon should I choose for my property?

Color does not affect the repellent’s performance, but it does affect visibility and blending with the landscape. White ribbon stands out in agricultural or open areas to reduce accidental damage from machinery, while darker colors blend into shaded or wooded areas for a subtler look. Choose the color that best balances visibility for people and integration with your surroundings.

• White ribbon increases human visibility to avoid equipment damage
• Darker options visually blend into forests or shadowed perimeters
• Effectiveness of the repellent is the same across colors
• Select color based on safety and aesthetic preferences

Who is this for: The Messina RBW-132 PLOTSAVER ribbon is aimed at landowners, hunters planting food plots, foresters establishing reforestation areas, and farmers protecting small patches of crops or seedlings. If you need an easy-to-install, visible perimeter that works with an essential-oil-based repellent to discourage deer, elk or moose without harsh chemicals, this ribbon is a practical part of a low-impact wildlife management plan.
