City of Hope is a leading research and treatment center for cancer and other life-threatening diseases.  For nearly 100 years, City of Hope’s pioneering research has brought the world closer to cures for many forms of cancer and diabetes.

One of only 41 Comprehensive Cancer Centers in the country, City of Hope provides breast cancer patients with state-of-the-art treatments, helping with both the physical and emotional hardships surrounding cancer, through long-term-care programs.  But their true priority is advanced screening and prevention programs, which look towards a cure, helping patients with a higher risk of breast cancer.

“Everyone has been touched by the devastating effects of cancer in some way.  We, at Liquid Fence, are honored to be able to help City of Hope in their research and treatment of breast cancer.  We hope our customers will get involved, doing what they can to help with this worthy cause,” said Edward Abraham president of The Liquid Fence^® Company.

All Liquid Fence^® Deer & Rabbit Repellent, including the brand new Granular Deer & Rabbit Repellent, will have an easy-to-spot pink tag.  Look for the tag and help Liquid Fence donate a minimum of $150,000 to City of Hope.

What’s an Asset to the Planet? It’s an honor we are bestowing on special people, businesses, or organizations.  Maybe they’re doing good deeds, maybe they’re a pleasure to do business with, or maybe they’re just plain nice.   We believe it’s time to recognize them.

Located in Walnut Creek California, The Gardens at Heather Farm is a nonprofit organization devoted to bringing sustainable garden practices to their community.  They care for their 3.5 acres of developed gardens with integrated pest control methods and water conservation practices.  And they serve over 12,000 school children every year through natural field trips!

The Gardens at Heather Farm depends on their flourishing rose garden for wedding and event rentals, to provide an income, which allows for continued community outreaches and events.  According to Tyler Snortum Phelps, Operations Manager at The Gardens at Heather Farm, the deer population has risen over the last couple of years, and Liquid Fence Deer & Rabbit Repellent has been crucial to protecting this vital area of the park.

In a continuing effort, The Liquid Fence Company will be sending American-Rose-Society-Endorsed Liquid Fence Deer & Rabbit Repellent.  A cruelty-free repellent, Liquid Fence Deer & Rabbit is safe for even the youngest of garden guests.

“We enjoy helping organizations like The Gardens at Heather,” Edward Abraham, president of The Liquid Fence Company said.  “They are teaching sustainable gardening, and we are dedicated to providing practical eco-friendly solutions to common gardening and outdoor problems.”

If you live in the Walnut Creek area, stop by and enjoy the Gardens at Heather Farm, protected by Liquid Fence Deer & Rabbit Repellent!

The powerful spray reaches in excess of 15 feet, getting to most second-story eaves. No ladders or extra equipment are needed to reach out-of-the-way areas where many nests hide, allowing homeowners to “keep a safe distance” from the nest.

Liquid Fence Wasp & Hornet Killer is available in convenient 13.5 oz aerosol spray cans and has a pleasant botanical scent, leaves no pesticide residue, and is safe to use around kids and pets.

And unlike water-based solutions that run the risk of potential electrocution when sprayed near electrical wires, Liquid Fence Wasp & Hornet Killer is oil-based and electrically non-conducting up to 27,500 Volts.

“This wasp and hornet killer is just another example of Liquid Fence solving a problem without using harmful chemicals.  Liquid Fence gives you the option of effective pest control that is safe for your family and the environment!” says Edward Abraham, president of The Liquid Fence® Company.

Suggested use is to spray and soak the nest at sunset when most insects are in the nest and inactive and wait 24 hours before removing the nest.

Liquid Fence Wasp & Hornet Killer is available now at liquidfence.com and will be coming soon to retail centers nationwide.

BRODHEADSVILLE, PA – “It’s so cold out. They must be starving – why else would they be looking for food? If I feed them, maybe they’ll stay away from my plants!” Sound familiar? As tempting as it may be, turn a cold shoulder to foraging deer – do not feed them! And, in spite of the chilly temperatures, ice or snow, applying a proven effective, all-season repellent right through the winter months will help stop deer cold in their tracks and prevent them from destroying ornamental bushes, trees and winter garden plants.

Don’t feed the deer.

Contrary to how it may seem to the softhearted, feeding deer is not good for them and it’s obviously not good for landscaping. In fact, feeding deer actually trains them to think of that backyard as a reliable source of food – and they won’t stop at generous handouts – expensive plantings will become tasty treats, too. Although well meaning, feeding deer promotes unhealthy behavior.

They will stay near the easy source of food, even if it’s inadequate, rather than seeking food in their natural environment. If deer ingest a food type that is not part of their natural diet they can become sick and even die.

Typically, they will compete for handouts, leaving more submissive deer underfed and promoting overly aggressive behavior.

Use an effective repellent

A liberal application of a proven effective, all-season deer repellent, such as Liquid Fence® Deer & Rabbit Repellent, on and around landscaped garden areas will help stop the deer from making a winter meal of shrubs, plants, trees and vines.  Be sure to apply when temperatures are above freezing. Liquid Fence works on scent, so the deer don’t even have to take a bite – unlike many other repellents that require the deer to “munch away” to be effective. The product should be applied during a dry period, then again, one week later. After that, a once-a-month spraying is all that’s needed.

An ounce of prevention…

It’s much easier to prevent the damage than it is to stop a foraging cycle that has already begun. Deer are creatures of habit. If they munched your tulips in the spring or crunched your pumpkins in the fall, you can bet they’ll be chomping your arborvitae in the winter! By applying Liquid Fence Deer & Rabbit Repellent at the first signs of deer foraging, you’ll break their habit before it takes a strong hold.

A neighborhood effort

As in most situations, there is power in numbers. If adjacent properties practice the same deer control policies, the neighborhood will benefit. So work hard at convincing soft-hearted Mary, who’s been seen regularly feeding the local deer population, that she’s actually doing the deer more harm than good. Not to mention angering her neighbors by training the deer to continually seek food in her (and, consequently their) backyard!

From the company that manufactures the #1-selling deer & rabbit repellent comes a new easy-to-apply granular that provides the same 100% guaranteed protection for all low-growing plants against deer and rabbit damage.

This unique biodegradable repellent is easy-to-apply on and around flower beds, vegetable gardens, ground cover and lawns, and safe for use on edible crops. And plants will love the diatomaceous earth-based formula.

Formed from fossils, diatomaceous earth improves drainage and can enhance air circulation around plant roots.

Liquid Fence Deer & Rabbit Repellent is eco-friendly and ready-to-use in 5 and 2 pound shaker bottles, covering approximately 500 square feet per pound. Best of all, no spreader is needed; just shake it where you need it!

Homeowners, professional landscapers, and commercial growers have long discovered that Liquid Fence stops destructive deer and rabbits from ruining landscape and crops, naturally.

Since it works on scent, deer and rabbits don’t browse crops and plants because their natural aversion to the scent never diminishes! And, unlike many competitor repellents, the long-lasting, rain-resistant formula doesn’t require rotation with other repellent brands to remain effective.

Liquid Fence Deer & Rabbit Repellent Granular is destined to become a new easy-to-use favorite in the homeowner, grower and landscaper arsenal to ward off these relentless foes. Look for it soon at garden centers, and hardware stores.

BRODHEADSVILLE, PA – The homeruns keep adding up for The Liquid Fence® Company’s FreezePruf™, with its third major honor: A Gold Medal at the 2010 North American Packaging and Merchandising Awards.

The North American Retail Hardware Association (NRHA) awarded FreezePruf, the revolutionary new frost protector spray for plants, the Gold Medal for Packaging.

The NHRA Award is the third prestigious award FreezePruf has received, having won “Best in Show” at the 2009 Independent Garden Center (IGC) Show and the 2010 MGA Green Thumb Award.

“A panel of seven expert judges selected the winners among submissions from 115 manufacturers throughout the US and Canada for its first-ever NRHA Packaging and Merchandising Awards,” says Allison DeWitt, Program Coordinator for NRHA. “As a Gold Medal Winner, FreezePruf demonstrated a superior level of packaging excellence.”

BRODHEADSVILLE, PA – Just as the weather warms and pet owners begin to think about controlling ticks and fleas, the EPA has announced it is taking immediate actions to place new restrictions on spot-on pesticide products for flea and tick control for dogs and cats.

However, there is a no-fear solution on the market right now – that naturally protects pets from ticks, fleas and mosquitoes.

Liquid Net® for Pets, from The Liquid Fence® Company, is an all-natural, gentle and effective way to protect the family pet from ticks, fleas and mosquitoes. 

While restrictions on use and ingredients are being implemented by the EPA on many current products that contain irritating chemicals, Liquid Net for Pets contains NO Pyrethrins, NO DEET, NO Pyrethroids and NO d-Limonene.  It’s guaranteed to protect dogs, cats, puppies and kittens from biting insects without exposing them to dangerous chemicals.

Unlike harsh chemical-based products, Liquid Net is made with oils of botanicals and is pleasantly scented. It has been lab tested and proven to be more than or equally effective as typical off-the-shelf DEET solutions against fleas, ticks and biting insects.

Plus it’s non-greasy and won’t dry out your pets’ coats! And it comes in a new orbital sprayer that lets you spray upside-down for those hard-to-reach spots where ticks and fleas hide.

EPA plans are to immediately begin reviewing spot-on products and developing more stringent testing and evaluation requirements for both existing and new products. The EPA expects these steps will help prevent adverse reactions, including skin irritation, redness, or gastrointestinal problems that include vomiting or diarrhea, or effects to the nervous system, such as trembling, appearing depressed or seizures.

Liquid Net for Pets has received several industry awards, including Pet Product News Magazine’s Editor’s Choice Award (2008) and the Mail Order Gardening Association’s Green Thumb Award (2009). It’s available in a 16 ounce orbital sprayer bottle and individual towelettes for on-the-go convenience. Get it at stores throughout the country and on the web at www.liquidfence.com.

Premiering nationwide May 15^th, the 26 episodes focus on environmental stewardship with a fresh, bold approach.  Joe will be joined by “Garden Girl” Patti Moreno and celebrity chef Nathan Lyon, host of Discovery Health and Fit TV’s hit series, “A Lyon in the Kitchen”.

“This PBS sponsorship is a perfect fit for our all-natural animal repellents and garden products that are earth- friendly and safe for family and pets,” says Edward Abraham, president of The Liquid Fence Company, manufacturers of the number-one selling deer and rabbit repellent in the country.

Each episode features people, organizations, and events making a positive impact on the earth and inspirational how-to projects to be better stewards of the environment. The show connects with the younger gen X & Y’s using the latest blogs, online videos, podcasts and social media platforms.

Lamp’l  and Moreno highlight the latest eco-friendly trends along with traditional gardening know-how, while Chef Lyon demonstrates how to prepare healthy meals with fresh vegetables from the garden —and locally grown produce.

“Our flagship product, Liquid Fence Deer & Rabbit Repellent has just been labeled for use on all food crops,” says Abraham.  “Those growing their own vegetables and herbs have an eco-friendly alternative to keep hungry deer and rabbits away and protect their hard work and investment.”

Lamp’l says he was inspired to make the show by his many loyal fans of his books and TV series. “The idea for a television series that blends my passion for sustainability and growing a greener world along with great gardening ideas and how-to’s was a natural result.”
