Hello all. To say the deer in my NY town are brazen and everywhere is an understatement. Each year, as their population continues to boom, they eat more varieties of plants. Plants they never went near for 30 years, they're now ravaging. It's a small town, but it's funny how they have their individual tastes. For instance, my old Juniper in front of my window was RAVAGED by one deer late winter/early spring. There's an entire family, but only one deer that I've caught in the act two times. Other areas with the same exact Juniper Bush go completely untouched. Same thing with Privet.
Anyway, the repellent works now, but during the winter when they are starving, no scent will stop them. They literally stand there and stare at me when I yell at them. I think in a few years they will start to eat humans. So I obviously have no questions about fencing the larger evergreens and hedges and such. I just get the 9 foot poles and 7 foot black plastic fence and zip tie.
I'm wondering what to do for the smaller beds with small evergreen shrubs. Of course the main thing is to protect the expensive plantings, but I was wondering what wouldn't be an eye sore for the front of the clients' houses. Wooden spikes and metal fence along the bed and over the top to the siding of the house?
Thanks
