The deer are winning at my garden this year. Last night was the second destruction. Is it possible they are getting immune to the smell of Liquid Fence?
Yes, they get used to smell of the same product. I rotate with many products and also occasionally put down Milorganite. For example, “ I Must Garden’ Deer repellent, Deer Scram granular, Bobbex Deer repellent, Deer Fence, DEER DEFEAT. Some testimonials say that Garlic Barrier help. They chomp down on my mom’s hostas too. Changing their walking behaviors in the spring is essential. If they keep smelling tasting things they dislike early, they will search elsewhere for food. But you must be consistent in applying these products, or put up a deer fence.

I have had SOME luck with deer fence, but planting allysum around them last year seemed to work the best. They hate the smell. It’s not going to completely stop them- but cut my problem probably by 80%. I have about 200 allysum in the basement under grow lamps to move outside tomorrow.

Last night at our meeting, Phil Edmunds told us to use a spray containing stinky eggs. I just sprayed mine with a Deer Repel or something like that. Home Depot.
Faith Gant and John Moe also have recommended a product but I can’t remember the name. I have 3 motion activated sprinklers set up too.

We just have an actual deer fence, but I’m wondering if Bitter Spray from the vet hospital would work? Keeps dogs off their bandages like a charm and I bet a few nibbles and they’d learn shortly.
