Deer are driving me freaking nuts. They killed 2 of my trees, destroyed my tomatoes, and every time my citrus trees get a fresh flush of new growth, they eat it all. They eat my baby avocados, baby mangoes, strawberries, you name it, they destroy it. You have no idea how destructive these things are, when I try to scare them off, they just look at me and laugh. They have my land marked as having a lot of food so they pretty much visit me nightly. Deer hoof prints EVERYWHERE!
In my garden in the rear, I have one of those motion activated sprinklers, and it works well. Problem is, that is just not practical to do over large areas as you have to have a garden hose to every sprinkler, and it has to be on all the time. Plus, they ain't cheap.
Once my trees get big enough, they'll be ok, but they are being seriously stunted because the new vegetation gets stripped as soon as a new flush is pushed out.
I have tried scent crap, it's a joke, at least everything I've tried.
Anyone know of something that is PROVEN to work? Thank you!
