How to Stop Plant Eating Deer


Colchester Connecticut has the same problems as most towns with hungry deer. Last spring, one deer came every night to eat my Hosta. I built noisy scare crows. I kept lights on. I sprayed perfume and smelly soap on or around the plants. I put human hair in my garden and nothing worked.

Then I used one of the trail timers with a built in camera. The flash that the camera uses to take night photographs scared her away for the rest of the growing season. It also took pictures of some opossum and skunks moving through the yard.
