According to researchers at the Alabama Agricultural Experiment Station, the most effective off-the-shelf products are those containing the smell of rotten eggs; in the tests, damage done to hostas treated with rotten-egg-type products measured only 2 percent compared to more than 70 percent when hostas were treated with other products. The smell of rotten eggs in the landscape is not a pleasant thought, but I guess it beats having all your plants ravaged by deer.

1) "Deer Off"(which actually contains the rotten eggs, plus Capsaicin's and Garlic), and works great alone. And...
#2) "BOBBEX"(which contains Dried Blood, Garlic Oil and everal other things like: Cloves, Fish oil's, Onions, and a few other things). This one also works great alone, plus it fertilizes with an NPK of .48-.37-.10, so it's a great organic supplement food source during the vegatative stages of growth.
What i do is to use a combination of the 2. I don't really ever have any problems w/ deer. My biggest problem insect are slug's and snails usually in the spring/early summer. So i would totally recommend these products for Deer prevention. FYI.



Be good

Simple way to get rid of slugs and snails. save up eggshells and crunch them up over the soil around the plants into fairly tiny peices and it is much cheaper and more organic.The reason it works is because the shells cut the skin of slugs and snails and they dont like to cross them to get to the stem. Try it and lmk.
