Deer Repellant and Fugicides

12 years ago

I haven't grown roses in ten years or so.

I am sure many new products have emerged.

What do you think are the best deer repellants and fugicides on the market today.

I used to use BannerMaxx and Deer-OFF

I've had good results with Bayer Advanced Disease control for black spot and Immunox for powdery mildew.

Someone said they had very good results keeping deer away from her roses by installing three automatic sprinklers in yard at the Yankee District Rose convention yesterday.

Liquid Fence has terrible smell, but works really well. It will allso repell your own kids, friends, trespassers and whoever alive is around :)Really terrible, but effective.

If deer do not browse pawpaws (which is what I have read but can't attest to personally) and given that pawpaw leaves do have that distinctive smell (which makes the claim more believable) you wonder if an extract from pawpaw leaves or bark could be used as an effective deer repellent if sprayed on other plants. Or, better yet, a cheaper synthesized version.

Deer will grow used to about anything like oder repellants, water sprinklers,flashing lights you name it. I control mine here but you may not be able to do it in our area with a 410Ga shotgun with target loads in it. At 30 ft that will not penatrate the tough hide on a deers rump. But it will certainly deliver a very strong long lasting memory. If you can manage to catch them out in the dark. the combination of the roar of the shotgun the muzzel flash and the sting of the shot is just about enough to keep them away from the area for a life time. I had a whoile herd scared to come into my area for a couple of years but a a cpuple bucks wondered in from other ares this year and I had to clarify the boundries to them.

Any deer repellant success stories?

I started adding a shade garden around the quiet side of the house last year, still working on it but almost finished. I truly believe that the deer know my bf and his whole family are hunters so they know better than to come around our place! unfortunately theyre not so timid when it comes to hanging out and feasting on the plants in the shade garden. in the past 3 days theyve mowed down half of the hostas. it pisses me off bc I just spent so long planning, prepping, and planting but theyre just hostas, they can be replaced. HOWEVER!! They also took off the tips of one of my hydrangeas (annoying but I can live with it) and now theyre getting mighty close to a very sentimental hydrangea that I just transplanted to our yard last month from my bf's parents (his mother passed away recently). if any of those tick infested oversized rats even think about tasting that hydrangea I will hunt down him and his family and shoot them myself. Anyone have success repelling deer? Store bought spray? Homemade recipes? Motion sensor lights or sprinklers? ill try anything!

Sounds like you should market that! My grandparents had to have a huge, tall fence. Cayenne is how I got my dog to stop digging holes in my yard and it's inexpensive!

Ditto to what Olga said.

In the spring, Liquid Fence seems to work quite well. In the summer, I have less success; perhaps, the scent is more pungent in the fresh spring air.

I have reliable results with Bobbex, and it only is detectable to my own nose for a few hours the day it is applied. I should mention though that our deer damage is light to moderate - without snow cover and with plenty of natural feed, deer are more curious and opportunistic browsers here. They aren't starving as they make the rounds through the gardens, more like normal hungry and looking for their favorites, like roses.
