I use a product called Bobbex. From a trial which seemed objective,
it out-performed other deer repellant products.
This product is recommended only for use on non-bearing trees, as it
supposedly imparts an off-flavor to the fruit, which was actually a
selling point for me. Anything that lasts
The only deer deterrent I've seen that works long term is a good fence.
I don't doubt you that deer can spread blight. I never believed it until it
happened to me but fire blight can also be spread from the smoke (or more
likely ash) from a burn pile.
When a neighbor removed a block of severely
Lee, we use a product called Repells All by Bonide that lasts up to 2 months
and is made up of Dried Blood , Putrescent whole egg solids, Garlic oil,
Acetic Acid, Potassium Sorbate, Cloves, Fish oil, Onions, Meat meal, Seaweed,
Vanillin, Vitamin E, and Wintergreen oil. It comes in a 6 lb.
I've tried many products and most of the ones mentioned in this thread.
Liquid Fence = Ranch Dressing. Dried Blood is deer code for Merlot. Here in
Montana, if a deer is hungry, he will eat anything. I finally put in an
eight foot high tensile fence.
