Safer Brand Deer-Off Repellent Stations, 6-Pack, Deer and Rabbit Repellent

This is the only deer deterrent that consistently works in my yard. I’ve tried multiple others and they’ll work for a while and then they don’t work. The deer were tearing up my hostas and since I’ve put these around the yard, they rarely even come in the yard, they do not smell at all, and they are very durable in extreme weather conditions safe to use around people.

I put these out, so far the deer haven't come into our pumpkin patch. We have a terrible time with the deer eating our pumpkins each year. Hopefully this will deter them. It's still early to tell. I'll update later. I thought the design was awful, I didn't care for the bent metal rods, you have to bend them out straight (which is difficult if you don't have much strength in your hands). Plus the piece that sits on top of metal rod barely sits on it, it falls right off. So I bent the end of metal rod (with pliers) into a small loop & twisty tied them on cuz a wind of any kind would send them blowing for sure. It didn't smell to me at all so we'll see if the deer can pick up on it. We've already had a pretty good storm since I put them out & I'm very glad I twisty tied them on or who knows where they would have blown to. Since they weren't super expensive I got them to see if they'd help us with the deer problem. I'll update after harvest!! UPDATE: Don't waste your money. The deer have come into the pumpkin patch & are happily eating away! These don't keep them away or hinder the deer in any way at all. Besides the bad design of the metal stake they come with to put the piece on top of (that falls right off if you bump it or the wind blows) this product doesn't work at all. So disappointed.

I live in the mount of WNC and the only thing that has worked is deer fencing and these. I put new ones out every season. Even keeps the rabbits away! Wear gloves when you are opening the package, the dust from the cartridge is gross.

Bending the wire to be straight to put in ground was a bit challenging, but the first two years I used this, there were NO deer in my beds. I told all of my neighbors about it. But this year the pods didn't work at all. Not sure why, but I'll try one more year to see if it was a fluke. There is no bad smell, and you don't have to reapply like the spray, and very reasonable. They last about one summer, but that worked well in North Florida.

They are convenient, but they don’t last but a month. And the raccoons like to bust them open.

These work better than the liquid spray. You don't have to worry when it rains or change them through the the summer.

Ridiculously ineffective. I caught this deer on a camera munching on a bush. There are two of those pods in the same small garden area, about 4 feet from her. To solidify the worthlessness of this product, she went on to eat down a Hosta plant to the ground, of which she would have to STAND OVER the actual product. Short story - another worthless product and a waste of money.

I used two packages of these. They are easy to install unfortunately deer ate all the cucumbers & tomatoes that I was growing in my small garden. I added a string with pie plates around my garden which made a lot of noise as they moved up & down with the wind. I added a big hanging wind chime in the center and surrounded the garden with potted marigolds, which deer hate the smell. Not to mention I planted all the herbs deer stay away from. I think I need to search for a very small electric fence.
