Multicrop Scat Bird & Animal Repellent 400g – Garden Deterrent Concentrate

Multicrop Scat Bird & Animal Repellent 400g

Multicrop Scat is a water-soluble bird and animal repellent formulated to discourage unwanted animals from feeding, digging or entering treated garden areas.

The solution leaves an unpleasant taste and smell that helps deter birds, cats, dogs, possums, rabbits, rats and other animals without acting as a poison. It can be applied to fruit trees, ornamental plants, garden beds and other compatible outdoor surfaces.

How Scat Bird & Animal Repellent Works

Scat helps retrain birds and animals to avoid treated areas by making plants and surfaces unpleasant to taste or smell.

Results can vary because animal behaviour, food availability and environmental conditions differ. Persistent animals may require repeat treatments and additional physical controls such as bird netting or fencing.

Animals Repelled

Multicrop Scat may help discourage:

• Common garden birds

• Ducks

It is a behavioural deterrent rather than a trapping, poisoning or lethal control product.

Suitable Application Areas

Scat may be applied to compatible areas including:

• Fruit trees

• Ornamental plants

• Vegetable gardens

• Flower beds

• Lawns and grassed areas

• Garden soil

• Paths and driveways

• Timber and plastic surfaces

• Rubbish-bin areas

• Outdoor areas affected by unwanted animal activity

Test a small hidden section before treating painted, porous or decorative surfaces because staining may occur.

How to Mix

• Measure 50g of powder per litre of prepared solution

• Dissolve the powder in hot water

• Stir until thoroughly dissolved

• Add cold water if needed to reach the required final volume

• Use the prepared solution promptly

• Do not store mixed solution for future use

• Do not mix with other garden chemicals

The full 400g pack makes approximately 8 litres of prepared repellent.

How to Apply

Apply before animal damage begins or as soon as activity is noticed.

• Spray the affected plants or outdoor area evenly

• Cover as much of the problem area as practical

• Treat the animal’s likely approach route

• Protect fresh plant growth with repeat applications

• Reapply after heavy rain or overhead watering

• Repeat periodically until the unwanted behaviour reduces

• Combine with netting or fencing where stronger protection is needed

Avoid spraying during windy conditions, as drift can reduce coverage and affect nearby surfaces.

How Long Does It Last?

Product listings state that one treatment may remain effective for up to 10 weeks under suitable conditions.

However, the solution is water-soluble and may be removed by rain, irrigation or rapid new plant growth. Check treated areas regularly and reapply when animal activity returns.

Using on Fruit & Vegetables

Scat has no withholding period when applied as directed. Wash treated fruit and vegetables thoroughly with clean water before eating.

Using bird netting alongside the repellent can provide more reliable protection for valuable fruit crops.
