Deer are awful cute, but not when they are eating your stuff. There are ways to deal with them.
A fence is the first line of defense. It doesn't have to be extra large or electric, most deer will go elsewhere is a fence is surrounding dinner. If a fence is out of the question there are a few other things to try.
There are a lot of scent deterrents out there some work better than others. Let me know if you have a favorite that works well for you.
Milorganite works well (by smell), but you must put it out often and after it rains, as the rain washes away the effectiveness.
I have a new scent deterrent this year, and it lasts all season. I have sold a few and am waiting to hear how it worked. I'm very excited about this new product.
The other thing that you can do is plant things that they don’t like – a hungry deer will eat anything, but they don’t normally prefer these plants.
Here is a list of deer resistant plant that I carry. |
