How BOBBEX Works

Application Instructions
Spraying Bobbex
Bulb Dip Program
Bobbex on Vegetables

Bobbex repels by both odor and taste by using meat meal, fish oil, putrescent eggs, garlic and other naturally occurring ingredients to deter deer from browsing.

In the Springtime Bobbex products reduce stress brought on by late Spring temperature dips. In the Winter, cold weather, blustery winds, and frozen soils reduce a plants ability to absorb moisture needed to maintain vitality. In addition to deer deterrence, Bobbex provides retention of moisture in the plantings through periods of frigid Winter weather. It will also reduce damage from a late Spring or early Fall frost, and decreases the desiccating effects of a hot Summer day.

If you follow our program, the product will work!

Application Instructions

Spray Bobbex on all parts of the plant including leaves, stems, and flowers.

Spraying Bobbex

When spraying concentrated Bobbex, the most efficient method of applying the product is our 48 oz E-Z RTU Pump sprayer. Or ask your local garden center or hardware store, most carry several sizes of pressurized sprayers which are relatively inexpensive. These sprayers come in ½ gallon, 1, 2, or 3 gallon containers. We strongly recommend using a new pressurized pump sprayer. Pressurized pump sprayers that were used to spray herbicides may cause harnm to your plants.

Before spraying, make sure the plants are dry. Bobbex will not stick well to wet surfaces. Also Bobbex will require approximately 6 hours of drying time to adequately adhere to plant surfaces.

Begin spraying in the Spring when the plants are approximately ½ inch out of the ground. During this period of rapid growth, spray the entire plant every 7 to 14 days or, for every 3 to 5 inches of new growth, particularly buds, flowers and new growth. Bobbex can be used year round. When applying Bobbex, spray plant or section of the plant until runoff. When the first drip appears, move to the next section or plant. Plants should be wet but not soaking. Bobbex will leave a strong odor for about 24 Hours. After this time the odor will be detectable only by deer.

Dilute only the amount of Bobbex you intend to spray. Diluted mixture should be used within 5 days. To clean the tank, rinse tank with a mild soapy water solution and spray through the hose. Store the unused, undiluted portions of Bobbex in a cool dry place. If Bobbex products freeze they can be used upon thawing.

Bulb Dip Program

Bobbex-R Animal Repellent bulb dip

Bobbex-R makes a great bulb dip program to prevent burrowing herbivores from smelling an discovering your wintered bulbs. Using Bobbex-R as a bulb protector will give your bulbs a chance to survive when first planted and throughout the Winter, protecting them from burrowing herbivores and deer. Voles use their keen sense of smell to find roots and bulbs underground. Bobbex-R creates anaromatic barrier around the bulb and prevents these animals from discovering the bulb.

Instructions

Remove all loose and dried plant tissue around the bulbs.
Dip bulbs in straight concentrated Bobbex-R (right out of the bottle). Allow bulbs to soak for 3 to 5 minutes.
Remove bulbs from concentrate and allow them to air dry.

Bobbex on Vegetables

By July and August, Deer will generally find other edible things in their more natural setting. Your garden may not have as much Deer pressure towards harvest time.

Fruit (flowering) Bearing Vegetables:
Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Squash, Apples, Pumpkins, etc...	Spray Bobbex liberally (as specified above) through the flowering stage. As the fruit matures, continue spraying leaf and stem, avoid spraying the fuit. Wash vegetables thoroughly.
Rooted Vegetables:
Potatoes, Beets, Carrots, etc...	Bobbex can be used on rooted vegetable plants provided the plant-leaf will not be eaten.
Leafy Vegetables:
Lettuce, Cabbage, Kale, etc...	Do not use Bobbex on leafy vegetables. Bobbex contains stickers, which allow the product to stick and last a long time on plant surfaces. Bobbex will stay in the crevasses of the leaf and be very difficult to wash off. Bobbex does not make the best salad dressing.
Herbs:
Basil, Oregano, Thyme, Parsley, Rosemary, etc...	Do not use Bobbex on Herbs. For the same reason as leafy vegetables, Bobbex will affect the tastes of your herbs and be difficult to wash off.
Fruits:
Raspberries, Strawberries, Peaches, etc...	Bobbex can be used through the bud stage, not on the fruit stage. Bobbex will be very difficult to wash off the fruit.
