Bobbex uses 6 ingredients that actively deter deer from browsing and causing other damage to ornamental plants, shrubs and trees. Although only 3 ingredients are considered active by the EPA, the inert ingredients such as Meat Meal, Fish Meal, and Fish Oil also have an impact on lowering deer predation.

The combination and multiple redundancy of repelling ingredients make Bobbex a superior product over competitors.

Bobbex Deer Repellent has been independently tested (* See Effectiveness of Bobbex vs Other Repellents page) against ten (10) known competitors, including Hinder, Liquid Fence, Chew-Not, Big Game, Deer Off, Plantskydd, Coyote urine and Repellex. Bobbex Deer Repellent was found to be 93% effective, second only to a physical barrier.

Bobbex contains an extremely effective sticking agent that will last through several heavy rains. The fish oil used in the product allows the product, when dry on plants, to be water insoluble. Bobbex will not dissolve into a liquid once dry.
