Electric Fence Deer tend to feed on our gardens at night making it difficult to keep them out of the garden. Some favorites of deer are: Apples, Arborvitae/white cedar, Arrow wood Viburnum, Birch, Day lilies, Dogwood, Euonymus, Garden lilies, Hostas, Hydrangea, Impatiens, Linden/basswood, Yews , and Roses. An important factor that will effect how often deer enter your vegetable garden, is availability of food in their native habitat. Unless you live in a city, the odds are you will have deer in your garden at some point. If you live in the country, your garden is almost like having an open invitation for dinner - everyday. These nuisance deer can be difficult to deter without taking some serious and consistent action to prevent them from enjoying a buffet dinner that you call your garden. So how do you keep deer out of the garden? There are several ways to keep deer out of your garden, some of these deer repellents you may not even be aware of. In addition, there are many plants that deer will usually avoid. One of the hottest products to hit the market to protect your plants from deer is the Scarecrow - a motion activated sprinkler that shoots a 3 second burst of water in the direction that triggers it. There are many home remedies that may be effective, but only for a short time. Fencing is expensive, labor intensive and needs to be at least six feet high - besides, who wants to hide their beautiful garden behind a fence - in some case a fence is not even an option. Planting deer resistant plants may deter deer until they get really hungry - kind of like kids and spinach. Dry weather will attracted deer to irrigated plants for the refreshing moisture. Overall, the final consensus amongst most gardeners is effective deer management requires a combination of deterrents to be effective.

Electric Fence: The electric fence is often overlooked by many gardeners. It is very effective for cattle and horses and offers some protection against deer - although if they jump over and never touch it, they will not be afraid of it. Fortunately, deer tend to graze and nibble as they feed and the odds are in your favor that they will touch your fence and flee, realizing this area is better left alone. Electric fences are best used for the vegetable garden in back yards, were public access is restricted. You do not want the neighbors kids running home and telling their parents they got zapped. Unless you live in a rural area, you may also find it difficult to find a supplier. This can be overcome by shopping online or traveling to rural or farming communities near you. Select a low powered fence designed for smaller livestock - after all, you are not trying to keep animals the size of horses or cattle out of the garden. Low lying electric fences (and low powered) can be effective for Rabbits and other smaller animals. They should be kept very low to the ground using two lines, set on an angle away from the garden - set the first line about 3" above the ground and the second about 8". Keep the lines clear of grass, shrubs or any other material that will ground the charge and reduce the effectiveness of the fence. A new electric fence for slugs is under development in Canada and should be on the market by 2007. We can not elaborate on this now, but testing is proving very successful and we will provide details when given the go ahead from the developer. Deer Repellent Plant Protec: A new product from www.deerbusters.com, this all natural green Deer Repellent plant protector clips easily on most plants. Emits a non-offensive garlic odor keeping deer and other unwanted pests away. Environmentally safe with no spraying and no mess. Plant Protec lasts up to 8 months. Egg Based Deer Repellent: A another product from www.deerbusters.com is the Deer Repellent egg based repellent, it has been tested and proven effective against deer browsing. This unique product repels by odor but, unlike some repellents, Deer Away will not be offensive to you. Tested in independent studies by the USDA and Penn State. Deer Away was originally developed for use in large reforestation projects. One application will last up to 2 months. This product is designed for pines, firs, fruits, citrus and ornamentals. Other names this product is known as include "Deer Away" & "Deer-Off". Human Hair: Human hair wrapped in a old nylon and hung on branches or tucked between plants will provide some protection against deer and various animals. The smell of a human indicates danger to most wild animals and should keep deer away from these areas. Tree Guard(tm) : Tree Guard with Bitrex(tm) is another deer deterrent. It is lightly sprayed on seedlings, shrubs, ornamentals, hedges and flowers to produce a lingering nasty taste that animals do not like - DO NOT USE on anything that you will be eating. The bitter tasting Bitrex is locked into the plant surface forming a "protective jacket" w
