Re: Novocaine for deer repellent?

Gloria, I sprayed my Magnolia and Hydrangeas with it in November. I  
applied it again in March. My butterflies mag has been in the ground  
for 4 years. I had never seen a blossom as the deer browsed all the  
buds in early spring.  This spring the mag was untouched and full of  
blossoms. Also, my Oakleaf Hydrangea which was also heavily browsed in  
past years and is covered with blooms. This in a year with heavy snow  
cover and the deer went after blue spruce and Austrian Pines. I had  
deer tracks in my yard, but the plants I sprayed were left undamaged.

PS I too have used the auto spritzer. Problem is,  I have way too much  
area, I'd need a dozen of them. And, they do not work winter, when the  
need is greatest. NANCY
