Bottom Line
Liquid Fence Deer & Rabbit Repellent Concentrate delivers solid deer and rabbit protection at a better value than ready-to-use sprays, especially for large gardens and multiple plants. However, *prepare yourself for the strong, lingering smell and the ongoing maintenance*—you’ll need to reapply often, particularly after rain or on new growth, to keep those nibbling critters at bay. If odor sensitivity or frequent reapplication is a dealbreaker, exploring alternatives might be wise, but for effective, economical, and broad-spectrum mammal deterrence, this concentrate is a smart choice.
