My wife sprays "Liquid Fence Deer and Rabbit Repellent". It does
work. It smells like rotten eggs when sprayed on, but the smell
dissipates within a minute or so.
The deer have left the sprayed plants alone, and after a while, the
deer learn that there is nothing appetizing there, so they don't even
come close.


Tried it. They laughed at it and ate half the branches off a rugosa
rose. Do you have any idea how many thorns are on a well-grown rugosa?
These deer are all named Rambo.

Well, the deer were there before you were. And since humans got rid of
the natural predators, and only replaced predation in part with
automotive depopulation, it isn't surprising the population is spiking.

Funny thing about humans, they have anti-predators known as
Tree Hugging Democrats. They prevent predation which causes
all kinds of pesky animal species to invade human habitats
after the animal populations increase exponentially.
