Deer and Rabbit Mace Repellent Concentrate - 5 Gallon Protects 10

In this review of Nature's MACE Deer and Rabbit Mace concentrate the bottom line is clear: this is a heavy-duty, all-season deterrent for homeowners and property managers who need broad coverage and long-lasting protection. The product's biggest selling point is its concentrated, 3-pronged approach that combines fear, scent, and taste cues to reduce deer browsing and tree rubbings quickly. It is intended for people who want to treat large areas without frequent product rotation and who prefer a formulation that binds to plant foliage and carries a mild mint scent rather than a strong chemical odor.

Key Features

• 3-Pronged approach: Combines fear, scent, and taste technologies so plants become less attractive and deer learn to avoid treated areas.
• Concentrate for large areas: A 5 gallon concentrate claims to treat up to 10 acres, making it suitable for yards, orchards, or multi-acre properties.
• Mint-based scent: A no-stink, fresh mint aroma masks plant scents and disrupts deer scent cues without leaving offensive odors on foliage.
• Longer-lasting bind: Formula binds to leaves and stems so it resists light to moderate rain and does not wash off easily.
• Pet and plant safe: Designed to be safe for plants and pet-safe when used as directed, allowing use around family areas and garden beds.
• Easy application: Apply to dry foliage until wet, repeat in seven days, then monthly maintenance or after heavy rain for continued protection.

Who It's For

This concentrate is best for homeowners, landscapers, and small land managers who need a cost-effective solution to protect multiple plants, large lawns, flower beds, or small acreages from deer browsing and rubbing. It fits users who prefer a single product to rotate in and want a formula that treats wide areas without daily reapplication.

Those with only a few potted plants or people who need a rabbit-only solution should look elsewhere, since some customers reported mixed results with rabbits and a smaller, ready-to-use rabbit-specific product may be a better fit for close-quarters protection.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Highly concentrated, making it economical for treating large areas and long seasons.
• Combines multiple deterrent cues, which reduces the need for product rotation.
• Mint scent is milder and more pleasant than some alternatives while still masking plant smells.

Cons

• Some customers report less consistent results on rabbits, so it may not fully replace a dedicated rabbit product.
• Initial application requires liberal spraying and follow-up, which can be time-consuming on large properties.

Our Verdict
