Every UK gardener knows the frustration — a freshly planted border one day, and the next morning it’s been nibbled, dug up, or covered in pigeon droppings.

Rabbits, foxes, and pigeons may seem harmless, but they can cause significant and costly damage to gardens. While chemical deterrents and traps were once common, modern gardeners are looking for safe, non-toxic ways to protect their spaces.

At DeerEx, we’ve spent years researching animal behaviour. Rabbits and foxes rely heavily on scent cues, while pigeons return to the same roosting spots daily. Our Velora line of repellents is designed around these instincts, creating invisible scent and taste barriers that gently discourage these animals without harm.

For rabbits, apply Velora Rabbit Repellent around borders or vegetable beds using a watering can fitted with a fine rose. For foxes, create a 2-metre perimeter barrier near fences, bins, or sheds to prevent digging and fouling. And for pigeons, spray dry ledges, patios, or garden furniture to stop roosting and fouling.

Consistency is key — reapply every 3–4 weeks or after heavy rain. All our products are biodegradable, odour-free, and safe for pets, helping you maintain a beautiful garden without harming wildlife.

This autumn, take a greener approach to pest control. Your garden — and the environment — will thank you.
