I deal with situations like this for a living and your best bet is to fence the perimeter. There are some commericially available deer fences that are black poly mesh and 6-8 feet tall. I have one at my home and the mule deer stay out which protects the trees and berry bushes we have in our yard. There are some commercial blood and egg based chemicals that are showing some promise for large scale application, but are expensive and must be applied multiple times. The nice thing about the type of fencing I have described above is that it is relatively inexpensive, is more durable than it appears and is almost invisible if your worried about aesthetics. It can be ordered from several of the larger gardening suppliers.

Our's has lasted for 7 years now.

Good luck,

RB
