We can help with several
products, including exclusion
fencing. We carry a deer repellent spray
called Liquid Fence which is very
effective. We also have garlic clips, blood
meal and a motion-activated water jet
called a scarecrow. Planting aromatic
herbs, grey and/or fuzzy plants is wise as
they do not like these plants. The aromatic
oils in the herbs mask the enticing leaves
of maples, roses, dogwoods and other
“deer candies.” At our house the deer and
our large dog have an agreement that
seems to be working.
