If "hoof rats" are a problem in your yard, we carry a full line of deer and animal repellents.
We suggest you try a combination of two repellents, such as a spray for taste and a pellet or
powder for smell and change your recipe every 6 months. Click on links for our list of deer
resistant annuals and perennials, and deer resistant shrubs and trees. Or visit the Rutgers website at: www.rce.rutgers.edu/deerresistance/default.asp to see how each plant is rated in terms of deer resistance. |
