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.

Your 4KG tub label states it makes 20 liters, shouldn’t this be 80 liters?
Haven’t used it yet.
It seems to be working – no dog mess in the area
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
Didn’t work at all for the pigeons
Product delivered quickly.
Parrots were destroying all new growth on roses, since spraying plants they seem to be kept away.
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
Not completely effective against possums but improved the situation. Expensive to cover lots of trees
We used D-ter in attempt to keep bandicoots from digging up our garden. Unfortunately it didn’t really work for us but I do love the idea of the product.
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.
bought as backup for animal away but grapes still green
Works really well, has kept the pesky Indian minor birds off our deck & outdoor furniture
Excellent product , it certainly deters the Kangaroos and Wallabies
I used product exactly how label suggested to try and deter sparrows. Unfortunately the sparrows are still here and their behavior has not changed at all. Can you give me any feedback on any other products?
Only works for a short period (1 day) on kangaroos. Too costly.
It’s brilliant stuff to use to keep birds out of my shed.
I bought a 1kg tub and used half of it in my shed in one go to deter the swallows that decided to move in.
That lasted three year’s incredibly.
I’ve just used another mix and is working well.
I think the trick is make sure you mix it really well so it dissolves properly.
A very good product I reckon.
