I live near a culdesac and we have many deer. They get hungry and walk up the street and they love Hibiscus. An example is: I once used fox urine to get rid of rats in my back yard. It worked great. Anybody know of any "serious" techniques or urines to stop this from happening?

Go to your favorite garden center and get Liquid Fence. We sell a ton of it at our store and the customers love it. It's organic so it doesn't hurt the plant's or animals.

No need to pee on your hibiscus. I've heard about this repellant so often, it must work, though I've never had to use it first-hand. Deer are repelled by human scent, so get some of your or someone else's cut hair after a haircut, and place in bags, partially open to emit the scent but so as not to catch rain, around the perimeter of your affected area. They are pretty well guaranteed not to want to go there. A barber would probably be an alternate source, or lacking hair, a just-worn piece of clothing would probably also have human scent. Good luck.

Deer are a huge pest and like many people have different tastes. I would start by not using the same thing over and over deer get used to the smell and ignore it. You might want to try Blood Meal deer do not like the smell simply put a small amount around what you are Trying to keep them away from. You can mix 1 table spoon cyan pepper into a gallon of boiling water boil 1 min. let cool and spray around plants some people spray the leaves of plants, I would recommend Trying a small area first a make sure it will not damage the leaves. I have had a great success with using Dial soap original formula simply cut one end of the wrapper off and place by the plants you want them to stay away from.

Do Deer Eat Hibiscus

This worked for a friend of mine: mix diced garlic and liquid soap and let it sit in a spray bottle for a week. Then spray the plants that are being eaten after every rain. This will cause the deer to hate the taste of the plant and they will leave it alone. Once you have been doing this for a while deer will leave it alone without the spray because they will think that it still tastes bad...

Well deer will eat practically anything. But in our last home which was pretty forest oriented we found they wouldn't eat ornatmental grasses. So that is what we concentrated on. We had herds coming through our property there and they ate everything. except ornamental grasses.. We tried so many other things and just gave up. Even lipriope. They decided to eat that as well and we were told they didn't. Frankly a hungry deer will eat most anything. But as much as I wish they would eat the ornamentals to cut them down they won't so plant grasses.

You can buy stuff called quassia chips. You boil these in water and then spray them on stuff you do not want animals to eat. In Australia these are used to repel possums. By the way how did you collect fox urine?
