<br />V ofMN Extension - INFO-V: Deer Damage in Home... http://www.extension.urnn.edulinfo-u/environment/BD5... <br /> <br />Individual plants can be protected by wire cages, tree wraps, or barriers of <br />sturdy stakes pounded into the soil around and two feet away from main <br />stems. <br /> <br />REPELLENTS <br />Odor and taste repellents, such as human hair, deodorant soap, garlic oil, <br />and hot sauce are applied to branches and foliage to discourage <br />browsing. Repellents are not effective against antler rubbing. <br />Effectiveness of repellents depends on the product used, weather <br />conditions, application frequency, familiarity to the deer population, and <br />feeding pressure. If properly applied, products with egg solids appear to <br />be most effective. Most repellents become ineffective over time as deer <br />become accustomed to their presence. If repellents are tried, use several <br />and rotate them. Remember, repellents are not fences. <br /> <br />Repellents also include noise devices, motion lights, and reflective <br />materials. Aesthetically, many of these options may be undesirable or <br />may be prohibited by local municipal ordinances. They are not effective in <br />the long term. <br /> <br />u~ n! <br /> <br />Title: <br /> <br />Deer Damage in Home <br />Landscape <br />Jim Calkins <br /> <br />Number: 690 <br /> <br />Script <br />writer: <br />Date: <br /> <br />2000 <br /> <br />Source: U of MN Dept. of Hart.
