They ate every hosta in my yard and every Daylily. They even ate the Daffs the first year I moved in.
The property was empty for a few years so it had become their restaurant. I live on 4 acres but not isolated. This is a suburban neighborhood but all the house have large lots.
The property does have a 8' fence but that means nothing to them. I have seen them jump that. I have been using many things that seem to be working for the last year. I have been working on this for 3 years.
I purchased...
Wolf urine that I put in a spray bottle and Spray that ocassionally on grocery store plastic bags and hung them on the fence where I see they may have been by the poop evidence.
I put some of the Sweeney's Deer Repellent gadgets. They are covered containers that you put on a stem. That is suppose to trigger flight response to the deer. I suspect it is a wolf urine concoction. Home Depot purchase.
Homemade spray. Onion, Garlic, hot sauce, wolf urine, egg, mixture.
Biondi Deer off work for my deer. I tried every one on the market. Every area deer are different. I do think you have to try them all to see which one your deer do not like.
Nite Guard system. It is a flashing red solar light to fool the deer that they think danger. Of course near that area I spray the wolf urine. So it is a site and smell fix I am using.
I have herds of deer not an occasional walk through deer problem. When I see deer it is 10 or more. I have had as much as 20 deer in the front yard at one time.
I have also sprinkle Millorganite 3 times a year.
Finally, there path I have picked up pallets from the grocery store for free. They have trouble walking on these because their feet go through the slat space and fall down.
As you can see I have done everything short of a gun. So far I for one growing season only one hosta has been eaten I have 100s. So I am not sure if that was deer, rabbit, groundhog, etc. since it was only one hosta.
