Is Deervik still available? I went to their website and it is under construction.
I like the old formula better than the new. I don't think the new formula lasts long. i just went to open up an old saved jar of it and it was kinda moldy looking and dried up. The old formula would have lasted forever. Even though it was not as environmentally friendly, it was much more functional. funny how that tradeoff often happens.

I, too, have been wondering about the Deervik Company. It was like a godsend when its product first came out. I still have some left which I am meting out very carefully. A friend of mine also swore by it for his hostas. Last year he ordered a new supply only to have the deer wipe out his hosta. When he sent a complaint with pictures to the company they admitted that they could no longer get one of the ingredients (must have been THE magical one!) and were trying different formulas. They sent him a new batch with even newer ingredients to deter the raccoons from eating it (the Deervik)! That didn't do any better so he gave up (no more hostas to eat, anyway). Therefore I surmise he wasn't the only dissatisfied customer and they still don't have the formula right. It does seem as if the company has vanished off the face of the earth. What a loss to all of us who thought our deer and rabbit problems had been so painlessly solved!

Deervik was reformulated in spring 2007 and we started selling in June 2007. We had "some bumps in the road" in 2006 but now we have a formula we stand behind. It has worked 100 per cent in our test gardens. We have been selling it for over a year now with no complaints, many happy customers and many unhappy deer!"
