- Screw the applicator tightly on to the bottle. Shake the liquid for 30 seconds or until the egg powder is dissolved.

Safety Instructions
Treepel
100
General Information
Treepel 100 will treat approximately 100 seedlings after planting.
Clean out your knapsack or sprayer thoroughly before applying
Treepel Animal Repellant. Like any repellent, Treepel is only
effective on treated foliage so a second application may be needed
on fast-growing species.
Important. Apply Treepel as soon as the tree is planted. The
first visit by an animal gives them the bad taste, deterring their
return.
Mixing Instructions
- Place all the egg powder in a large bowl.
- Add enough water, approximately 200mls, and mix to a paste.
- Make sure the egg powder has taken up the water and is thoroughly wetted.
- Add a further 500 mls of water.
- Mix thoroughly and then pour the mixture into the sprayer or knapsack.
- Add 250 mls of resin.
- Top up with water to a total of 2 litres.
- Shake the container to thoroughly mix the contents.
Spray the plants thoroughly. Treepel is rainfast in 2 to 3
hours.
After 2 or 3 days mixed Treepel will begin to smell like rotten
eggs. It is still an effective pest repellent but the odour may be
unpleasant!
Avoid applying Treepel to broadleaf
plants in full sun.
