"GOLD'n GRO Guardian Deer Repellent can be sold in states in which it is
being registered and, in each of these states, deer do major damage
annually. We plan to add additional states after we establish sales in the
targeted states," said Dr. John Whitney, Itronics President. "We have had
numerous requests from potential customers about the products availability.
Deer damage in suburban America is in the $5 billion range, according to an
internal, detailed Itronics study, making the potential for this product
enormous."
Itronics Metallurgical will sell the unique product to Landscape
Maintenance businesses that have licensed pesticide spray divisions and to
other business that are licensed for spraying pesticides. Sales will also
be made to plant and tree nurseries in the listed states and to other
customers. The product does not harm the deer and fertilizes at the same
time.
GOLD'n GRO Guardian Deer Repellent is registered for use on non-food crops,
landscape plants, and non-bearing trees and vines. Some soybean seed and
corn seed growers have expressed interest in testing the GOLD'n GRO
Guardian Deer Repellent on seedlings to protect them from foraging deer,
which do major economic damage. Itronics Metallurgical plans to evaluate
these potential applications for commercial viability as it moves forward
because these would be large acreage uses. GOLD'n GRO Guardian is a
systemic product and the treatment lasts up to 3 months.
Itronics Metallurgical is planning to sell the GOLD'n GRO Guardian as a
two-part package consisting of the repelling component and GOLD'n GRO 8-8-8
+4%S liquid fertilizer. Initially three sizes of spray kit will be
offered, a 4 gallon kit, a 12 gallon kit, and a 600 gallon kit, making it
convenient for potential customers to do evaluation and testing, followed
by conversion to commercial applications.
