How Does It Work?

Miller’s Hot Sauce is a non-lethal animal and pest repellent. The highly concentrated nature of the capsaicin extract works to deter browsing animals by adversely affecting the taste sensation of the crop it has been applied to.

Application

Key crops include, but are not limited to: soybean, corn and young tree plantings
Apply product prior to or at the earliest onset of animal browsing
Repeat applications at 7-day intervals as necessary if the crop is rapidly growing
