Deer repellent training fence

Great, just not 100%
For deer, not rabbits. And you need to set expectations accordingly.It works as advertised. With a couple caveats... it is not likely to be as effective if you place out in mid season. You are already on the deers circuit, and she knows you have tasty treats in your garden. She’s been there hundreds of times, and never been frightened. She will learn to bypass the stick for your tasty greens. And each deer needs to learn, a herd of 5 deer will take longer to “zap” than one or two. I place mine when the snow is nearly melted. There really isn’t anything up yet for them, so the zapper doesn’t have much competition. They are just setting new routes to travel for the season,” nothing here but pain, let’s look elsewhere”. Also you get the young deer, and they learn quick. Second, if they are hungry, nothing will stop deer. Nothing.My deer are pretty fearless. I’ve been 10ft away, and the doe didn’t seem to care. Last summer we could see them at about 7 every evening, and they didn’t care if we were out or not. They would slowly work their way across our lawn. So, I have to put up a multi layer defense.I have a couple cheap ultrasonic noisemakers with flashing lights. These work pretty well on rabbits and other smaller critters. They need to be moved frequently, or the animals get used to them.The wireless deer fence. It greatly reduced browsing of my vegetable garden and apple trees. With only 3 stakes, I cannot cover everything, So, I keep them by the garden into June, by the berries in July, and scattered among the apple trees in August to harvest.Finally, a motion activated sprinkler. Adding another of these this year. This scares the deer with a shot of water if they break the beam. Again, you need to move it once in a while. This also works for birds on the berries.Deer are living beings. Nothing will be 100% effective. This does work for me, and I have a lot to temp deer with. Last year with this system I near zero deer pressure on my garden... near zero, but not quite. It works better than anything else I’ve used, but it is not the only thing I do to keep deer out.

Don't waste your money!
I was very skeptical about this product because it seemed too good to be true. I needed protection for only three newly planted shrubs and this seemed to be the ideal solution. I even went to the company web-site and was persuaded that it was worth the risk when I read that the company offered an "unconditional" 2-year "guarantee to keep deer out". Well, not only did it NOT keep the deer out, it attracted them with its fragrance and - after one or two (very mild) electrical sparks, they came back to eat all around the post.After 4 months, having missed the return "window" with Amazon I sent the product back to the manufacturer via USPS. The manufacturer acknowledged by e-mail that he received it and advised me to seek a refund from Amazon. Amazon put me through its A-Z program and told me they would need proof of shipment. When I responded that the manufacturer's note to me was proof (I did not have a postal receipt because I used stamps I already had), I received no response. Then, when I e-mailed the manufacturer and asked that he acknowledge to Amazon that he had received the product, he did not even have the courtesy of responding. I will now take this issue to the Federal Trade Commission.So, save your money, folk, and save all your invoices and receipts. Not only did the product fail to do anything for me other than attract the deer, the 2-year "unconditional" (money back) guarantee turned out to be simply a ping-pong game between the manufacturer and Amazon.

Working for me so far!
I bought 12 of these and placed them about three feet apart in a garden bed that's about 40 feet long. We have plants (azaleas, peonies, pink aster, chocoholic bugbane, to name a few) along the fence line that last year the deer demolished. This year I decided to bring out all the guns. I spray cayenne and garlic on the plants, use fox urine granules, and deer and rabbit repellent throughout the garden and in the yard. It's May - and last year this time, most of the plants were already down to the nub. So, I don't know exactly how this wireless deer fence is working. If it were the only thing I was using I'd say it's a great product. But apparently it's not hurting.

they do work
It wasn't hard to install batteries and ect. It does cause a shock , not enough to really hurt bad but certainly enough to discourage wildlife (deer). Not too sure about the recharge delay between shocks but that probably is fine as deer will be shy of trying it again for a little while . Haven't actually witnessed deer getting shocked but they have left those flowers alone so far.

Deer not attracted
It wasn't worth the money for these for me. We have EXTREMELY domesticated deer where I live, to a point where they are not afraid of cars, dogs, or humans. The deer have been eating literally everything that I've attempted to plant (including rose bushes). This was my last ditch attempt before just fencing everything off. The deer are not attracted to the little scent stick in these at all. I have a feeling that for normal deer, these would work fairly well. For evil domesticated deer, not so much.

Worked like a charm
Worked like a charm. My plants were getting nibbled (again) by deer. Placed them around my garden and among my early crocus and the damage stopped. All the plants recovered and I've been using these ever since with no other repellants or other devices. Highly recommended.

Used these to train deer for years
These work great. I set them out every spring with fresh batteries, and the deer leave my plants alone. I bring them in before snowfall, remove the batteries, and allow them to thoroughly dry before storing.

Works well. Packs one heck of a punch
I accidentally brushed up against it and my goodness, it packs a punch. Please note, because it's powered by AA batteries, it takes about an hour or two to fully charge the capacitor. But once it's fully charged, it blasts a heck of a charge into whatever, or whoever, touches it. It recharges again in about 10 minutes. But, the first charge from completely dead takes over an hour - be patient and DO NOT touch it once it's fully charged.
