Apply different products or scents at each application.<\/strong> Deer &amp; rabbits can eventually get used to the same product, no matter how effective it may have been on the first application. If your go-to animal repellent is no longer doing the job, try a different product or a variety of scents.<\/p>\n<p>Mix up your routine &amp; switch to Milorganite, I Must Garden Deer Repellent in mint or spice, Liquid Fence in a granular or spray, or Plantskydd spray. Most of these products are available in a variety of sizes &amp; applications, depending on the size of the area you may need to cover.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Apply regularly.<\/strong> We have found it is best to apply any type of deer or rabbit repellent every two weeks, or after a heavy rain. Like most gardening activities, you have to keep up on it to keep it looking nice.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-1133 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.balsamlakeprolawn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Deer.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"460\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.balsamlakeprolawn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Deer.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.balsamlakeprolawn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Deer-300x216.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Pests &amp; Disease on your Fruit Trees, Ornamental Trees, Shrubs, &amp; Perennials<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Protect your fruit trees, shrubs, &amp; perennials from insects &amp; disease with Fruit Tree &amp; Plant Guard or Horticulture Oil.
