Sweeney's^® Deer & Rabbit Repellent

Sweeney’s Introduces Deer & Rabbit Repellent
New Micro-encapsulated, Time Release Formula Extends Effectiveness

ST. LOUIS — Sweeney’s (www.wrsweeney.com), an industry leader in developing safe and effective home pest control products, announces a new product to their line-up of proven repellents - Sweeney's Deer & Rabbit Repellent. This state-of-the-art, micro-encapsulated formulation provides time-released action, more resistance to rain, and minimal odor to humans.

“This is not just another awful smelling liquid spray,” says Stewart Clark, director of research and development at Senoret Chemical Company, makers of Sweeney's. “Gardeners will appreciate the extended effectiveness the time-released formula provides. Additionally, field and lab trials show the repellent is 100 percent effective even after three days of rain. Regular watering won’t wash off the formula either, one of the hassles typically associated with deer and rabbit repellents.”

Proven active ingredients in Sweeney's Deer & Rabbit Repellent include butyl mercaptin which emits a sulfurous odor. The odor is far less offensive to humans than common putrescent egg formulas and acts on the deer and rabbits’ sense of fear, triggering a flight response. Other ingredients include high concentrations of habenero pepper and garlic, an odor and taste that further repels the deer and rabbits from plants, driving them away before they dine.

EPA registered, Sweeney's is an organic, environmentally friendly product that is safe for use around ornamental plants, flowers and shrubs.
