What makes Scent Thief different from all the other scent control products on the market?
Other products try to cover up or eliminate human and other types of odors. Scent Thief's double patented formula eliminates an animal’s ability to smell without using enzymes, cover scents, chemicals or
ozone. There is nothing else on the market like it.

Can I use a Wafer by itself?
Can I use a Wafer by itself?
No. We recommend combining the Wafer with the Field Spray. The Wafer is meant as an enhancement to the field spray. Using just one Wafer will work in light to no-wind conditions, but is not as effective if there is a consistent wind. The Scent Thief Wafer is
oil based and evaporates slower than the water based spray, that's why we recommend using the two together.
How long does a Wafer last?
How long does a Wafer last?
The wafers come in a resealable pouch and should last two full days or four hunts. You can recycle a dry wafer by spraying it down with Scent Thief field spray, but the formula used in the original wafer is a stronger formula, so a recycled wafer will not
be as effective.
How often should I apply Scent Thief during a hunt?
How often should I apply Scent Thief during a hunt?
Under normal conditions, Scent Thief should be re-applied every 60-90 minutes, more often in extreme heat, wind or rain. There is a great video on the How It Works page that goes into more detail about how the product works and how often you should apply.

What is the shelf life of Scent Thief?

purchase now it will be good for next season...and the season after that. For best results, keep Scent Thief stored in a temperature controlled environment and keep it from extreme heat and cold.
How long will Scent Thief effect an animal's ability to smell?
How long will Scent Thief effect an animal's ability to smell?
Once the animal is out of the presence of Scent Thief, their sense of smell will return almost immediately. You want the animal to smell Scent Thief when they're in your wind channel, so the product is getting in their nose. Once they move out of that wind
channel, they'll be able to smell normally.
Can I use a lure with Scent Thief?
Can I use a lure with Scent Thief?
Scent Thief works by getting in the animal's nose and temporarily numbing their sense of smell. It works best when the animal is inside the "scent cone" you create by spraying the area around you and using the wind to create the cone. Once the animal moves out of that cone, their sense of smell will return almost immediately. We recommend to place your attractant outside of the scent cone.
Can I use Scent Thief with Ozonics?
Can I use Scent Thief with Ozonics?
Scent Thief works well with Ozonics. Although Scent Thief works as a stand alone product we always believe in being as scent free as possible. Scent Thief covers a much larger area with the use of sprays and wafers and relaxes the animals epithelium whether
there is ozone present or not.
