Beyond being the best product, other than a 9-foot, or higher fence around your property, Bobbex is great at keeping deer away from your plants that they love to eat. It is NOT a once-a-year treatmen... See more

So far, you got the product to me in record time to try it out as repellent for a late-ish tulip planting. I'll let you know how it turns out. Meanwhile, we're considering ordering some deer r... See more

Bobbex, in my experience, is the best deterrent to deer. When hungry and no food is available in their normal habitat, deer will eat anything. But, overall, Bobbex has kept my hostas, roses, clematis,... See more

Written by the company

“To create an unique, environmentally friendly product that could really and finally stop deer damage.” That was the goal over 30 years ago of our founder Robert Ecsedy. His vision, determination and ingenuity launched and propelled Bobbex to being recognized today as the leader in safe and effective animal repellents. Bobbex Overview: A Passioned Beginning In the late 1980s, Robert “Bob” Ecsedy (last name pronounced X-City, and known as “Bob-X” to his friends) lived in Newtown, Connecticut and worked in sales. A graduate of the University of Bridgeport with a degree in chemistry, Bob represented various chemical companies in support of Northeast manufacturing. Bob’s personal interests centered around horticulture and gardening, serving for several years as the President of the Fairfield Horticultural Society. Once retired, Bob Ecsedy dedicated himself even further to his gardening passion, planting and managing a large garden with over 300 tomato plants. Bob used a slurry of fish products as a “more natural” fertilizer for his crops. He noticed that after using his unique mixture, deer tended to avoid eating the fertilized plants. At that moment, the “seeds for sowing a new product” were planted! Combining his chemistry background and horticultural experience, Bob began passionately tinkered with the formulation as he tested a number of changes and variations to improve repellency and longevity. Soon his formula was perfected, and Bob began offering the mixture to friends and associates for trial and comment. This included local garden centers where he took his product for a professional and unbiased assessment. The results were conclusive and unanimous: Robert “Bob” Ecsedy’s Deer Repellent REALLY WORKED! And with that, “Bob-X” launched Bobbex! Bobbex Overview: A Dedicated Future Bob Ecsedy’s success in creating a product to keep deer away from plants was just the beginning for Bobbex Inc. Operating as a private, family-owned and operated company, we are dedicated to helping gardeners and homeowners by providing the most effective, environmentally friendly repellents available. Achievement of this goal was recently confirmed through an independent study performed by the State of Connecticut Department of Forestry and Horticulture. The study tested Bobbex and 9 other leading Deer Repellents, and concluded that Bobbex was the most effective, second only to a physical fence! It’s no wonder our repellents are relied on by commercial nurserymen, master gardeners, rose enthusiasts, and thousands of homeowners looking to protect their valuable landscaping and plantings. With 25 years of direct product use, research, industry feedback, and anecdotal information, our Bobbex staff has developed a knowledge and understanding of deer and herbivore behavior. Never resting on our laurels, we continue to refine and expand the natural, helpful products we offer you.

Finally Able to Enjoy My Hosta Again 🌿

I have been using this product for several years, and it has worked very well for me. It is safe and effective, even though the smell is quite strong. Most importantly, since I started using it, I have been able to enjoy growing hosta in my garden without problems. I am very pleased with the results and think it is a very good product. 🌿

I never purchased your product…

I never purchased your product recently, I placed an order with Bobbex for 3 spray bottles of Bobbex R and thought the shipping would be free because I mistakenly thought any order over $50 would be free. Instead the shipping charge would be $18, so I canceled the order and purchased a similar product at Home Depot for $10.00 each and paid no shipping cost.

Bobbex deer repellant is 100% affective!

I have a fairly large yard with 7 flower beds; two of which are shade gardens. I got tired to the deer coming to my yard for hosta salad. I've tried a lot of products, but Bobbex deer repellant is the ONLY one that is 100% affective at deterring deer. I'm probably your greatest fan, Bobbex! Thanks for making such a terrific product. I recommend it to all my neighbors.

Deer damage

Like the free shipping and received in a timely manner a little pricey though but we see how it preforms that is the main question. Deer have destroyed my plants and shrubs and have never bothered much before this year after living here for 48 years.

Bobbex works!!

Bobbex is a great product that I have been using for 10+ years. I use both deer & small animal repellant that I spray on all my flowers, especially hostas. Over the years, it has worked about 95% of time keeping deer away. I spray often during the spring growing season and about every 2-4 weeks during later in summer.
The comapny is also great to work with. They have been very helpful if there has been any issues.
Thank you, Bobbex
