While at a home supply store about a year ago looking for a product to repel deer (north/mid Michigan) the garden supply agent told me while the sprays work fairly well he had another good idea and took me to the closet supply area and gave me a box of moth balls. He told me to throw a few around the flower bed every few weeks/months and it should help to deter the deer. The deer had eaten all of my new tulips that spring and I was heart broken. Anyway, I was willing to try the moth balls and it DID work. I have the rare occasional deer foot print in the flower bed but no new chewing damage noticed. Just want to share. Mind you, I do not have any pets that are allowed into that area nor do I have any small children in my home or my neighbors. So its a win/win for me.
