TRICO® Garden
Protect your ornamental plants, shrubs, and trees against deer damage.
🌿🌸 What is TRICO® Garden?
Natural protection for your garden against deer damage – safe, sustainable and proven.
TRICO® Garden is a specially developed natural deer repellent for use in home gardens, estates, and public green spaces.
Based on sustainably sourced sheep fat, TRICO® Garden creates a protective barrier on plants that repels deer through scent and taste, while being completely safe for people, pets, and plants.
Key benefits of TRICO® Garden at a glance:

How does TRICO® Garden work?
TRICO® Garden repels deer through a dual-action mechanism:
-
Scent barrier: The natural smell of sheep fat deters deer before they approach.
-
Taste deterrent: If deer attempt to eat the plant, the unpleasant taste teaches them to stay away.
This method ensures that deer learn to avoid treated plants, reducing browsing pressure over time. The formulation is harmless to plants, humans, and animals.
