Strategies To Keep Deer From Your Garden

Once deer discover your yard as a delectable deli, they'll hop fences, ignore scare tactics, and show up like clockwork to devour plant after plant. And hungry deer will eat almost anything, depending on what else is available.

Install deer-resistant plants. There are so many to choose from actually: bluestar, coneflower, chrysanthemum, goldenrod, salvia, yucca, agave, allium, bellflower, foxglove, lavender, rosemary, fuchsia, hedgehog cactus, shasta daisy, and more.

There are also deer-resistant trees: cedar, magnolia, oak, palm trees, ginko, japanese maple.

Use odor deterrents: mothballs, hair, decaying fishheads, blood meal, garlic, fabric softener, processed sewage, repellent plants.

Place physical obstacles: thorny branches, floodlights, hidden fishing lines, sprinklers, reflective surfaces, fences, netting.

Utilize sound: noisemakers, flags, radios, whistles, electric wires
