Does anybody have a surefire way to keep deer from eating all the Azaleas, Tomatoes, Roses, Nandinas, etc, etc. Besides the use of gunfire?
I love to see them around the property, but I hate what they do to plants.

there is no sure fire cure. best bet is an outside dog. motion sensor lights work well for a while, also there are sprinkler systems that are motion activated. the deer stop chemicals you can purchase are effective but need to be re-applied on a regular basis. if you dont have a dog, borrow some dog poop from a friend and refresh weekly. i'm in the the landscape business and this has proven to be the only somewhat solution to the problem. sometimes you just have to change out the plant material to non flowering or fragrant varities. deer also do not prefer plants that are reddish or maroon color. but the only real answer usually invoves firearms, you dont have to shoot them-shoot over them, or invest in a gross of bottle rockets. good luck!

All good suggestions. I installed a motion sensor light and that helped around the house for awhile , but they finally figured it out. Dogs can be very effective if always around and outside (the dog-doo idea is an interesting concept) . I have also placed an electric fence wire around my veggie garden (about 3.5 feet off the ground) and put peanut butter on the wire every few feet; they get trained to stay away so you you can turn off the power after the first week and then power up again on occasion or if you see tracks.

:) Go to your local WalMart, or simply call me at Cathouse Marine, phone is 334.358.2838. I will tell you how to properly install a "Ho's Hangout" in your yard! The Deer will not come around and eat your plants, because there should be several beautiful women around you yard. You will not have to deal with animals other than "Ho's" that are attracted to your Ho's hang out. They don't eat much according to Mav, and Others, on this forum will explain, I am sure. LMAO.

Probably the best solution is to use plants in your landscape that don't attract deer. As much as I love some plants, it's just not worth the heartache of seeing them eaten to nothing.

There are some plants deer don't like such as rosemary. Aside from a fresh supply of rosemary, the deer stay away from where they are planted. Effective range seems to be about 1o feet.

Sounds like the puuurfict solution is to put in a HoHangout and staff it with Rosemary??

I've been dealing with this for years. My wife likes azaleas and
so do the deer. I found a battery powered fence (d cells) at lowes and it works great at the garden and the flower bed. They train quickly and go eat someone elses flowers and veggies.
Sorry neighbors

Reminds me of a person who had those beetle traps. Sure do work. Brings every dang beetle around the area to em. His plants took a big hit. Next year, his neighbors being so impressed by his bags full of beetle, they put em out. He didn't. His plants were left alone.

so far there are about 15 responses to your post and i haven't read through them...someone may have already said this....

plant sage and rosemary....very fragrant and they will stay away from the area...not to mention you'll have some herbs to add to your meals!!!
