White-tailed deer are on the lookout for whatever they can get this time of year and that often means the coveted evergreens like Rhododendron
, Hinoki Cypress and Emerald Green Arborvitae. Here are some of our suggestions that will help deter those four-legged herbivores:
Bobbex - Highly ranked and locally made this spray repellent comes in 48 oz. Ready-to-Use spray bottles and jugs of Concentrate in .5, 2.5 and 5 gallon containers. Remember to apply, and reapply, as directed. The fall-winter application should last up to two months. (Active ingredient is putrescent whole egg solid 2.5%)
Repellex Deer and Rabbit Repellent - Sold in 1 gallon containers it's a nice alternative if you're an advocate of switching it up. Give it a try! (Dried-blood based 25%)
Repellex Tabs - This works systemically as the tablets are placed in the soil slightly away from the crown and about 3" deep. The roots then take up the active ingredient, Capsaicin, which becomes completely absorbed by the plant after 1 week to 1 month, depending on the size of the plant. It is however best used early spring lasting the growing season. Each bottle contains 50 tablets.
Milorganite - Don't forget about this one! Used in our own sales yards, this non-burning fertilizer is made from processed waste also serving well in deterring deer. Leery about what this actually is? You won't be after reading this!
Spotrete (Thiram) Probably the most used among professionals with large areas to cover. Combine it with a spreader sticker such as ClearSpray.
(Please read, understand and follow directions on above products)
