    Sonic fortress pro ?

    Does this device work in keeping deer out of flower beds? Deer love our day lilies. I've tried some sprinkle on products with no luck
    thanks!

    I have heard you can go to a barber shop and get some hair that has been cut and spread it around. But I have never tried it. I have also heard to string some fishing line around at different heights. The deer hit them and it is suppose to scare them. But I really don’t think you can keep them out.

    I bet a couple of shots in the air will make ‘em move along instead of hanging out in the flower bed. Or, get some deer meat in the freezer.

    In a quick search that Sonic Pro was the #1 pick. I have no personal data myself.

    Messing with the Day Liles is an unpardonable offense. My wife would declare war on Bambi!

    Human hair does not work. Tried it to keep them out of the yard. However a high powered rifle will work. Well, if your a decent shot.

    You’ll need to draw blood to stop them. Little hotter shot than a paint ball. They are hell on hastas. Black pepper helps with rabbits.

    I've never heard of the sonic product, but we also have a deer population problem in our neighborhood...

    Discharging a weapon in Wheaton IL will get you locked up.

    Kind of ironic that IL has some of the most strick gun control laws. Then still have all those people being shot in Chicago.

    My dad grew a garden for many years. He tried all the "hear say tricks" some may work for awhile. The deer are smart and custom to it. He tried a electric fence one time with 3 runs of electric fence, the highest being 8 feet high. It worked for about 5 nights. When those peas got ready for picking. The deer many times beat him to the picking.! He decided if they want in they will get in.
    Fast forward to my adult hood and my garden. We grow 3 small areas super close to our house. Even with 3 dogs. The deer will still visit. We have 2 varieties of Muscadine vines and the deer always get them. We love watching them, heck our 3 dogs will not even bark when they are around. I honestly believe the dogs and deer have became friends.
