Directions for use: It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.
Use restrictions: This product may be used to discourage deer (Odocoileus spp.) from feeding on shrubs, ornamental plants, conifers, and nonbearing deciduous trees. Use this product only at ambient temperatures between 40F and 90F. Where deer pressure is high, consider other abatement options including fencing. Do not use on food or feed crops. Do not apply aerially. Do not apply product through any type of irrigation system or hose proportioner applicator. Do not apply directly to or where product might drift onto stone, concrete or siding as staining might occur. TREE GUARD has been tested on many species of ornamental plants and is believed not to be generally phytotoxic. Nevertheless, it is advisable to test the product on types of plants that might be especially sensitive by treating and observing small portions of the plant before treating the entire plant.
Application directions: This product is ready-to-use and should not be diluted. Shake container well before using product. Apply TREE GUARD directly using the squeeze trigger applicator. If the container lacks a squeeze trigger, transfer product to any pump-type sprayer equipped with a cone or flat fan nozzle. Adjust nozzle to obtain even coverage. Apply only to dry plants. Hold spray tip 1 to 2 feet from plants to be treated and spray leaves, needles, buds, branches and trunks subject to browsing by deer. Thoroughly wet treated surfaces but do not apply to the point of significant spray run-off. For small shrubs such as global arborvitae 20-24" high, approximately 4-5 plants can be treated with the contents of a 1-quart container. Less product per plant will be needed for treating smaller, or less densely foliated plants; larger, heavily foliated plants will require greater amounts of product. Repeat treatments if deer damage resumes. For best results, apply to bare branches in fall, after the first frost, and to unprotected foliage in spring. Clean application equipment immediately before spray dries.
Precautionary statements: hazards to humans and domestic animals. caution: Harmful if absorbed through the skin. Avoid contact with eyes, skin or clothing. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling.
