We are beekeepers and are looking for something SAFE for them while discouraging the deer from eating all the pernenials we grow! Fences are out.

My best guess is that it wouldn't harm bees since it's not generally toxic, but you'd have to get a more expert opinion.

I don't know of anything contained in this product that would hurt bees. The smell might make them gag, but it really didn't seem to discourage bees from visiting flowers that had been sprayed, and the Liquid Fence had dried.

I don't think Liquid fence is a natural product and would be dangerous for bees. You'd have to read the label carefully. I used up a whole bottle and it kept rabbits and squirrels from eating my plants. I bought a second bottle and it did not work! Animals ate my plants to the ground.

I would suggest poles. Make sure the poles are set sturdy enough to stand up to being pushed on. Set about 2.5 to 3 feet from tree, so deer can not reach them.

Nothing is deer resistant to any degree short of fending in your plants and garden. lf a deer wants it, they eat it. tra You could get a pet wolf or a large dog to defend the area. Rat traps may piss them off so they go away. If that doesn't work, then a rifle, vegetables, potatoes and some seasoning, and you could make some nice venison stew.

Don't know about rabbits, but it works keeping the deer away from our flowers.

I bought this one specifically to keep bees away because the bees were swarming on another First Nature model that had slots but not the yellow ports. This one kept bees away for me here in central Ohio. I like First Nature bird products very much.

It can be hung on a fence - tubes too small for others - not right size for the recommended bees and I found it to be avoided by all.

I will not plant this until Spring. Ah deer...... Try cheep perfume. They have very powerful noses. Otherwise they seem to eat about anything or they simply pull the plants out. There is a ground cover called Corsica moss that reeks when disturbed. They may not bother that.

I have to disagree with "Jay" and say, in my experience, yes! I bought this specifically to keep deer out and it works. I live in a town that has no culling, so deer are everywhere. I just wrapped this around my plants and I didn't lose anything this year! What might have worked in my favor is that I didn't try to make a fence or anything. I container garden, so I just wrapped the netting around my plants so they were completely covered. The plants I didn't wrap, a few flowers, did get eaten toward the end of the summer.

They work well for chipmunks and squirrels and with modification work great to keep away deer and prowlers: https://youtu.be/MqUv3dzBdN8

The smell will probably last longer on furniture, so I would test a pillow or something you are willing to discard. It definitely has deterred the deer, though. Nice to have my roses and cherry tree looking beautiful.

My experience says it won't keep anything away. The deer stroll right up and eat my fuchsias. The squirrels still dig holes in my garden and planters. As for birds, they still empty the bird feeder three feet away from the unit.

The bees are attracted to fresh wood. Once inside they investigate it as a pissible nest. Once they want to leave, they go for the sunlight and get stuck in the jar. If two get stuck, they'll fight until they die. I've caught a few with this style. I still see them, but no where near the nusance that they used to be. DO NOT HANG IT. Buy the mounted version or mount this one. They won't go in it if it's swinging.

Ours hangs from a short chain just below our pergola--the very pergola the bees were drilling. We have caught several bees in the trap and have seen none boring in our pergola. We love it! Works great.

Yes, effective in keeping deer from munching on your azaleas when snow is on the ground.

We have caught more insects (spiders, scorpions, etc.) we didn't have this brand but something somewhat similar and the mice could chew theirselves out of it if they didn't stick a certain way

In my personal experience, poles were used to support the netting and it worked perfectly to keep the deer away from precious plants. As a matter of fact, they no longer frequent my yard. The poles I used had raised notches on them which allowed the mesh to just latch onto them without the use of any ties or hardware.
