Scented Dryer Sheets Keep Deer Away
 ✖  |
We had problems with deer polishing their antlers on our young trees and deforming them, so for the last few years we’ve been attaching scented dryer sheets to fiberglass posts placed beside the trees. The smell and movement of the sheets encourages deer to go somewhere else. We usually change out the dryer sheets about every 10 days, but more frequently during rainy weather. The sheets cost only a few cents apiece. It’s a simple, low-cost way to save expensive young trees. I began using this idea about 10 years ago and haven’t lost a tree yet.
