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.

Bought the small size as a trial. We live in an apartment block which has major possum issues in the gardens. Since using the material, out plants are blossoming and there is no sign of the possums. Expanded the area with the larger size, hopefully with the same result!

I bought this product in an attempt to deter Corellas from eating the roots of my kikuyu lawn. It failed miserably. The Corellas and the Galahs love it. Every day there are up to 100 birds eating exactly where I have sprayed this. Yes I know how to mix the right proportions. I provided feedback to Pestrol and waited patiently for 3 months. I was offered a refund and asked to return the product. How does that work when you have to use the product to test it? I sent photos of my lawn with about 50 birds happily eating exactly where I have sprayed. I have the empty container. What more can I do? Nisha at Pestrol is trying her best to liaise with the supplier but as far as repelling birds (as advertised), this product is crap. I do not recommend it and given that it does not perform as advertised, I believe I am entitled to a refund under the Trade Practices Act. Given that the producet failed miserably in its sole purpose (to stop birds eating my lawn) I am expecting a full refund but nearly 4 months down the track – nothing. I will update this review if Pestrol comes to the party.

Seems to be working so far. Much better than the noise machines

Product works well, the birds no longer perch and make a mess on our window sills
Maria (verified owner) –
Some animals need a stronger dose of this but it works very well on the birds and rats eating my vegies!
Paul Kelly (verified owner) –
spraying did not work that well on our pideon friends, but the spreading of the powder worked extremely well on our rat population in an area where they are known to be present we checked after a weekend and there was no sign of them having entered the area.

I purchased DTER to fix a severe parrot issue in a 125 plant bed of roses. The parrots were breaking the flowering stems and extracting the sweet sap. The product worked at 95% success for about 4 weeks which changed the chewing behaviour, but has to be repeated now after 6 weeks because we are down to about 60-70% protection. Claims of 12 weeks are too high for rapidly growing plants but the product did do what it was supposed to do- just for a shorter time that’s all.
David Gilchrist (verified owner) –
Although yet to be completely satisfied I am impressed with the results so far. Approximately 3/4 weeks now and having mowed the lawn and had rainy days the pesky birds appear to have been warned off! The final approval will be in how long it lasts? May be a little expensive but – if it works I’m happy to pay.

Useful deterrent

A very good product that arrived quickly.

Talked to you on- line, asked if it deterred brush turkeys, was told that it did… you lied. It’s useless. Spent money in a con. How can you live with yourselves.
Alana A. (verified owner) –
Using with other deterrent devices so not completely sure if this works. It doesn’t appear to affect my dog.
