Plot Protection by Shake-Away "The natural solution to deterring deer"
Food plots have become the rage in today's big game industry. Wildlife enthusiasts involved in both hunting and photography have not only discovered, but fine-tuned food plot programs enabling them to maximize their contact with quality big animals, particularly white tailed deer.
Shake-Away is a company whose mission is to repel nuisance animals by using an animal's fear instinct to the customer's advantage. In the case of deer, rabbits, and woodchucks, it is well documented that the coyote is a well-established predator from coast to coast. Prey animals such as those mentioned above take note when they see, hear, and especially smell a coyote in the area. It's simply a matter of survival. The wariest animals are the ones that survive long term and knowing where your primary predator is and how best to avoid it.
The Shake-Away deer repellent is granular based and it is persistant. It's called Plot Protect and it lasts up to 6 weeks with one application. Plot Protect will protect a portion of a food plot while allowing use of the other untreated section.
Shake-Away has patented this technology and uses the scent derived from coyote urine absorbed onto proprietary solid carriers to allow the consumer to take advantage of this predator-prey relationship at a reasonable cost. Application is incredibly simple and mess-free as there are no liquids to spill with a convenient shake-top built into the top of the product containers. Shake-Away is able to provide this effect without the use of hazardous chemicals or poisons that can harm plants, animals, or worse yet humans that pass through without knowledge of the repellents presence. The only thing superior to Shake-Away technology would be to actually have a live coyote confined to the area where the repelling of herbivores is desired. Since that is not a reasonable approach, going with the next best alternative is a wise choice and one that guarantees you a positive result!

Shake-Away products have been tested rigorously in food plot, vineyard (pictured above), and orchard situations containing a wide variety of desirable plant life including several brands of commercially available clover. Very often farmers and landowners have key time periods where they really need plant eating herbivores to avoid their crops and plantings which can include: when plants are first emerging from the ground, when young tender growth becomes available (as in the case of vineyards), or when fruit and vegetables become ripe and highly desirable. Shake-Away has repeatedly demonstrated its product's ability, when applied repeatedly applied around a perimeter, to re-direct animal movement to other, sometimes less desirable, food sources. The repeated applications are essential as it gives the prey animal the impression that a predator is revisiting the particular area and there is an increased likelihood they could be risk. Shake-Away products have been shown to be successful in areas of up to 5 acres!
Shake-Away has research scientists on staff ready to work with customers via phone or email to help them determine the best application regiment possible for their unique situation. Factors like prevailing wind direction, the type of plant life to protect, proximity to cover, rainfall amounts, season, and alternative food sources play a part in determining the amounts to use and how often to apply them. Shake-Away's business plan is to not only to make a sale and wish their customers the best of luck, but to work with them throughout the treatment period to ensure the best possible result.
