Deer #877356

Asked July 15, 2024, 4:40 PM EDT

The deer are eating all my flowers!!! I have tried deer repellent, sound, noise and light motion detectors, and covering them with netting at night. If I don't cover them they eat anything and everything. Is there any flowers the deer don't eat?

Expert Response

These lists may help. The only sure protection is a 7-8 foot tall fence. Use "welded wire" attached to metal posts to construct a fence. I used the type that was covered with green vinyl so it was less noticeable from a distance. Or keep a dog.
