Plantskydd animal repellent granular blood meal — 8 lb pail, OMRI listed, repels deer & rabbits

Plantskydd Animal Repellent is an 8 lb granular blood-meal formula that deters deer, rabbits, voles and other herbivores around gardens, shrubs and bulbs.

Plantskydd combines a concentrated, naturally derived blood meal base with a granule format designed for simple application around plants and landscape beds. It creates a sensory barrier that encourages wildlife to avoid treated areas without resorting to toxic chemicals. OMRI listing makes it suitable for many organic gardening systems, and its coverage and reapplication schedule suit both active growing seasons and winter dormancy.

How does this product protect my garden from deer and rabbits?

The granules release scent and taste cues that most herbivores find unappealing, prompting them to bypass treated plants. Applied as a perimeter or around individual plants, it reduces browsing pressure so buds, foliage and newly planted bulbs remain intact.

• Repels deer, rabbits, voles, elk, moose and similar herbivores
• Apply around the base of plants or as a barrier band up to 2 feet tall
• Effective for flowers, shrubs, perennials and bulbs

How much area does the 8 lb pail cover and how often should I reapply?

An 8 lb pail protects a substantial perimeter when used as a band treatment: up to roughly 4,000 square feet under typical conditions. Reapplication depends on season and weather; more frequent applications are recommended during active growth and after heavy rain.

• Covers up to about 4,000 sq ft as a perimeter barrier
• Reapply every 6–8 weeks during the growing season
• Apply twice in dormant season: at dormancy start and before snow

Is Plantskydd safe for organic gardens, pets and planting bulbs?

Plantskydd is OMRI listed, making it compatible with many organic practices. The formula uses dried blood from porcine and bovine sources (no other animal parts) and can be applied directly into bulb planting holes or around established plants. Keep pets from eating the granules as a precaution.

• OMRI listed for organic gardening and farming use
• Contains 100% dried blood (porcine and bovine) with no animal parts
• Can be sprinkled in bulb holes and across soil surfaces for bulb defense

What’s the easiest way to apply this repellent for best results?

Scatter a visible layer of granules around plant bases and across soil to form an obvious barrier—wildlife typically avoids crossing treated zones. For newly planted bulbs, place granules in the planting hole and then cover; for beds, create an outer band to protect clusters of plants.

• Sprinkle liberally and visibly around and under plants
• Use as a band around beds to protect multiple plants at once
• Place directly in bulb holes for immediate subterranean protection

Who this is for: Gardeners, small-scale farmers and landscapers looking for a non-synthetic, OMRI-listed deterrent to reduce browse damage from deer, rabbits, voles and similar herbivores. It fits home ornamental beds, perennial borders, newly planted bulbs and wider landscape perimeters where a straightforward, granular application and seasonal reapplication schedule are practical.
