Would this one be effective for repelling deer from my small garden?

You're in luck. My ex-girlfriend is a deer biologist.I texted her and asked if an electric fence designed to keep dogs out of gardens would work against deer and she texted back that yes, it should work for deer.

Yes it does. I am ordering a replacement for mine that evidently got hit by lightening. I used it for five years for deer. Just run a wire about 10-12 inches above the ground and two more a foot above one another. I put aluminum foil on the middle wire and bait it with peanut butter. The deer will lick or smell the peanut butter and get zapped. They will stay away for several monthes after the initial shock. I usually leave mine on for about two weeks in the spring and then shut it off unless deer come back. What is odd is the fact that the deer can easily jump the fence. They will almost always try to go under it though. Yes it does. I am ordering a replacement for mine that evidently got hit by lightening. I used it for five years for deer.

I haven't noticed that deer repellent sprays keep away chipmunks. When we had a problem with chipmunks digging up a large area of our garden and uprooting/eating plants, a small animal granular repellent did work. It was either Critter Ridder or Repels-All; sorry I can't remember which one. The liquid version did nothing, but the granular form worked, perhaps because I placed some of it into each entrance hole. Good luck!

I got one to deter deer which I am happy to say it seems to work. Another was placed to deter armadillos. I'm not real sure how it has affected them. They really did a number on flower beds before I got it set up. I'm not sure about rats and mice. If they are on the list for these give them a shot. Make sure that you set them up correctly. You may also have to set them up tilted down toward the ground and not on the ground. We also have neighborhood cats in our yard unaffected by this machine.

I have 2 units in the yard and after a year I have not seen any deer in the yard. They seem to make a beeline around it. No other critters either. But birds stay around. Give it months to be effective. The animals need to be "trained" to stay away.

It is rated for small pets. I returned this because it wasn't rated for horses (and, the item listing originally wasn't marked correctly). So, I'm not so sure it would keep a deer out. T-posts & field fencing will.

I bought it for the Deer,They don't seem to pay any mind no more.It works better if you plug into AC outlet.Eat batteries kind fast.

I'm not sure. I tried using it only for deer, which didn't work. I switched to Deer Stopper that resolved the problem. I also used human hair and garlic, to repel the animals. It worked!!!

Don't know. It is very very good against deer altho a horrible pain to spray. Sprayer keeps clogging. It does last several months. You need to be careful not to spray it so that it lands on a light-colored house.

Not sure. We bought it for deer and rabbits. Didn't do as well as expected. Good luck.

No, I know it doesn't work well. A better deer repellant is to pee in a bottle and leave it in the sun. Then spray or sprinkle it on the leaves and around the plant. That will keep deer away better than this product. Don't use too much it may burn the leaves. Remember to reapply after rain.

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.

I would think that would work. It attracted a ton of ladybugs to my garden last summer. Good luck!

I don't know much about skunk deterence, but very effective in spooking off deer. You sort of have two things going for you: 1) the sudden onset of the sprinkler for a short burst; 2) you can set the duration of the burst, so if the scare of the sudden burst does get 'em, you could increase the duration so they'd get an extra dose of water.

We just use it to keep small dogs in the yard, but my husband thinks it should work to keep coyotes out.

It will for sure. I have coyotes that come to my house too, and I keep a crossbow just in case they get too close to my animals too.

I have my doubts it would work well on a bear even. It barely stopped an aggressive deer at 12 ft when I used it. But if it does work on bears it would work on a lion in my opinion and all I'm giving is an opinion. From my experience with this product they vastly overstate the range. Instead of 30ft I'd put the effective range at no more that 12-15 ft. But the fact is it's far better than having nothing. However there might be things that would work better but I don't have the experience to know what they are.

Here, it doesn't keep the deer out (at all) but probably fine for chickens. Also, probably light enough to be stretched OVER the chicken pen as well (keeping hawks out).
