I have a big wildlife problem. Deer, Groundhogs, Rabbits, skunks you name it I have it. This is what I have done. FYI....... I have a 8' fence and they jump that like it is only 4'
I am using many methods to keep them out. ........................................
I purchased...
Wolf urine that I put in a spray bottle and Spray that occasionally on grocery store plastic bags and hang 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. This is sprayed around if we have a lot of rain to save on using the expensive store purchased stuff.
Biondi Deer off work for my deer. I tried every one on the market. Every area deer are different. Sometime 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 wolf blinking eyes. 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 many as 20 deer in the front yard at one time.
I also sprinkle Millorganite 3 times a year.
Finally, for their path coming up from the woods....... 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 they fall down. I painted them green and I can walk on them just fine.
I have done everything short of a gun. So far it seems to be working just one hosta had some bites. So I am not sure if that was deer, rabbit, groundhog, etc. since it was only one hosta none of the daylilies.
