Frequently Asked Questions:

WHAT IS D-TER?

A highly effective and proven animal and bird repellent, fully registered for use against all animals and birds.

IS IT SAFE?

Yes, it is a very safe product. This product is not considered a poison and there is no withholding period. It is immediately effective once dried, has no unpleasant or revolting odour and can be sprayed almost indiscriminately.

ANY EXCEPTIONS?

D-TER should not be applied in bright sunshine on sensitive plants (e.g. ferns, primula etc.) to prevent any chance of scorching.

HOW DOES D-TER WORK?

D-TER has been found to be effective in repelling all species of vertebrates against which it has been evaluated. Its mode of action is both scientific and clever. D-TER repels by creating a feeling within the creatures that the treated area is unsafe and threatening. This is reinforced when they quickly leave and the feeling disappears resulting in the development of a “learned aversion response”. The advantage of the development of this response is that not only are the creatures harmlessly repelled but the effect lasts far, far longer than the D-TER itself.

HOW LONG DOES D-TER LAST?

D-TER is generally dissolved in water and applied as a spray but can be used as a dust, for example as a seed dressing. It is important to note that after spraying D-TER, its effectiveness begins when it dries under normal conditions 1-2 hours. Published evidence from overseas and local experience suggests that generally, D-TER provided it has dried before dew or rain, can be expected to last for 8-12 weeks. It will usually survive light showers of rain with the effectiveness again returning when it dries. However, after consistent heavy rain, if the problem recommences, re-spraying is recommended.

DOES D-TER STAIN?

Local and overseas experience (30 years) has shown to date no staining or untoward effect on paintwork metals or plastics. For indoor use on furniture or carpet for example, to prevent cat scratching or pet fouling first test spray on an unseen area (as a normal precaution) or alternatively spray-on pieces of cloth. Allow to dry and pin or lay on affected areas.

NOTE: Please read and follow all the instructions provided with this item before use.

Q & A

Will this work to keep mynor birds off my tiled patio and furniture but safe for people to still use the patio? Will it have an effect on my dog? I've tried the fake owls, shiny things, nothing has worked. Sarah asked on 17 November 2024

Hey Sarah,
D-Ter Animal & Bird Repellent is a general purpose animal deterrant, it would have an effect on your dog as well as the birds.

Why does this work over the bunnings bird and animal repellant that didnt work. The birds (parrots) haave destroyed the lawn and ripped up the roots of the lawn. brad collins asked on 25 July 2024

Hey Brad,
I'm not familiar with the product you're mentioning from Bunnings, but without any further information, I don't think a deterrent like D-Ter Animal & Bird Repellent would be the right option. It sounds as though the parrots might be tearing at the yard to get to some lawn grubs potentially. If it is lawn grubs or insects that they're trying to eat, maybe something like Richgro's Lawn Grub & Beetle Killer would be the better option.

Can we scatter this in the roof cavity to deter possum? Jen asked on 2 June 2024

Hey Jen,
For best results we recommend following the mixing instructions of D-Ter Animal & Bird Repellent and dilute with appropriate amounts of water, however, you can still apply as a dry powder in certain circumstances. Allows follow the label for instructions.

  5. We have bought De-ter before and have found this product a good prevention against kangaroo and wallaby attacks on our grapevines.
    The ultrasonic pest repeller seem to work as well. It is a bit early to tell, because rodents are not so problematic in the summer, but it appears it may also be a useful device against geckos, they can be a nuisance in the warmer months

    Parrots were destroying all new growth on roses, since spraying plants they seem to be kept away.

  8. This product really works!!! I am sooo impressed with the results!
    I only put one application on and that was around 4 weeks ago and the kangaroos have not touched my trees since!
    I highly recommend D-Ter

  11. We received our order of D-Ter very fast. I am happy to report that this product work well for deterring Kangaroos. We have rows of wine grapes, that are not fenced in. This year has been specially difficult, because all vegetation has been dry and sparse. Theese conditions led the roos to think that rows of grape wines was the salad bar. It is a matter of breaking the feeding cycle, and get them to stay away, and D-TER has been successful in doing this. We have also found it useful to spray newly planted natives on our property. We will certainly bee ordering more next season.
    One point I will make is, that D-TER seems less successful against Deers. I could be because their feeding habits are different to the Kangaroos.
