Deer Solution

“I used to have that in my yard, but the deer ate it.”

Garden center operators hear variations of that sentence hundreds of times during gardening season. It’s a common complaint in the Tri-State, where deer live and nibble on landscapes well inside the Huntington city limits.

But the folks at Lavalette Nursery and Garden Center now have a solution to the deer problem. It’s appropriately called Deer Solution.

Deer Solution is made by the Natural Pest Solutions company with 100 percent natural ingredients, so it’s safe around children and pets. It’s made with spices, like clove and cinnamon oil, which can be used on all plants -- including fruits and vegetables -- right up till harvest. It is rain-resistant and has a pleasant spicy smell, unlike the objectionable odor of other anti-deer products.

The pump spray bottle has an adjustable brass nozzle that allows the user to select the desired spray pattern. For larger areas, there’s a spray bottle that connects to a garden hose.

All of the ingredients used in Natural Pest Solutions products are natural. Mother Nature has evolved effective, natural deterrents over thousands of years. After thorough research, they have been stabilized, effectively formulated and now available commercially. Natural Pest Solution products are very cost effective, weather resistant, long lasting, leave no unsightly film and do not burn plants. They can be applied at very low temperatures and can even be sprayed on top of the snow surrounding plants to prevent pesky critters from digging and damaging plants.

Deer Solution works by a combination of both taste and smell. Although Deer Solution smells wonderful to humans, its unique formulation simulates daffodils, a plant that is toxic to deer and they go out of their way to avoid.
Deer Solution should be applied to slower growing plants such as trees and shrubs every 90 to100 days; and monthly to faster growers such as annuals, perennials, small fruits and vegetables.
