Yup, Bobbex Actually Works!
For years, I have been successfully using the 32 oz. Bobbex standard spray bottle of premix. Yes, this stuff really does work and it is one of the few deer repellents that actually does (see my previous review for the 32 oz. Bobbex sprayer).This year, we planted additional "deer candy" plants, so I thought I'd try this larger 48 oz. pump sprayer. Same repellent, but with a large and easy to use pump sprayer... and it is a bit more economical. Once the pump bottle is fully pressurized (about 20 pumps), it covers a large area with just a gentle squeeze of the trigger. With a capacity of 48 ounces, this sprayer is certainly easier to use -- and without the need to constantly squeeze the spray trigger as with the original applicator.Great product, easy to use 48 oz. sprayer, and it remains effective for about one month as advertised. My only comment is that we must be judicious when using this larger pump sprayer. It is easy to use WAY too much repellent when applying.The first time I used this convenient new sprayer, I didn't pay much attention and my first application went through nearly half the bottle. Oops! Now, I just apply only the needed amount. Frankly, this new pump bottle is a genuine improvement in convenience. When I'm paying attention, there is no change in the amount I use compared to the typical 32 oz. squeeze-trigger sprayer.Due to our current higher useage on more deer candy plants, I routinely use this larger 48 oz. pump sprayer. These days, I refill it with the 64 oz. bottle of Bobbex concentrate (significant savings). The concentrate requires a bit of mixing in the sprayer bottle, but this is not really much of an inconvenience. If you need to use a lot of this product through the year, the savings with the concentrate is considerable. Bobbex is an effective and highly recommended product and this new 48 oz. sprayer is terrific. Hope this is helpful information.

Works well
Smells absolutely awful but works like magic!The deer kept eating my Hostas but after using this, it definitely helped keep them away.

Handling hungry deer
Bobbex seems to keep deer away from the laurels they were feasting on. The deer repellent I got at Loews was useless. You pump the Bobbex manually before every application. Since it squirts a lot of product and seems to go fast, it’s pretty expensive. Thankfully, it’s been pretty dry, because I assume I have to spray after rains, which would make it go even faster. You can choose from a fine mist to a solid squirt, which is my favorite because it will go 15 feet and you don’t have to wade through the bushes. It’s a fairly large bottle, and some small or elderly folks might find it a bit hard to manipulate.

It works with Western Blacktail deer!
I don't know about larger whitetail or antelope, but I live in an area with a very high population of western blacktail deer. They were destroying every flowering shrub and green shoot on my property outside of a secure physical barrier.I tried Bobex and the blacktail haven't touched the affected plants again.How do I know it's the Bobex? I missed spraying a few shrubs and they were absolutely devoured.I won't lie, the smell is just awful and pungent. I won't use this on roses or any flower I may want to cut and bring inside. Did I accidentally spray my bare leg with this? Yes. Yes I did. Thankfully an immediate hose-off and then shower remedied that, but that goes to show that a re-application is necessary after a rain shower or overhead watering.All that said, the stench is *why* it works. So if you can stomach it, it's 100% worth it.Very glad for this product - my landscaping is colorful, green and healthy when it wouldn't be otherwise.

Excellent at keeping deer away
Bobbex is a wonderful product to spray on hostas, even young tree branches, to keep deer from chewing them. It does not smell good, but only for a short time and then it's fine and works for two weeks before I have to do it again. With this shipment, I never received it and have a hunch that it broke during shipment. At one of the intermediate warehouses. I received a notice that it had been damaged during shipping and was being returned to Amazon. I would imagine that the warehouse smelled awful.I bought one of these four years ago and it worked perfectly. After that I have bought the quart bottles of concentrate. My intent with this purchase was to refill it using my bottles of concentrate because I'd recently had bad luck with my sprayer.
