About this video:
As a frustrated gardener, I was in search of something that would help keep deer away from my plants. The deer constantly went after plants in my garden such as Hosta, Daylily, Coneflower, and Evergreens such as my Hinoki, Holly, Spruce, and Cypress. I was growing tired of the constant spraying of repellants, and wanted a more hands off solution. In my research, I came across this Wireless Deer Fence/Deer Training System. What is it and how does it work? Check out this video to see how they're working for me.

8:55 still waiting for my order, 05/16/2024 ordered in April company will not reply!!!!
@@gladysbrewer4031 hi, I'm not affiliated with this company. I'm a consumer just like you who purchased the product to use in my garden. I shared my experience here. You will need to try to reach out to them directly 🤷🏼♀️
Thanks for the information!
@@gladysbrewer4031they are behind lol I just called and they are working on Sunday to pack over 180 orders. It’s worth the wait to get rid of those deer.
The como should send you some free spikes for doing such an excellent job on explaining how they work and your experience using them 😊
Great idea and thank you for the update. The deer and the rabbits are chowing down everything.❤️
I saw these in a past video of yours and cld not wait! I bought them right away and so far they are leaving my yard alone. Love love love these so far!
Thanks Steph. I’ve been anxiously waiting to see how they worked & am so excited to try. Thanks for the very informative video.
I've used these for years and they are 100% effective for deer. I place them in late winter to early spring in locations where deer are likely to approach their favorite plants, in my case apple trees, vegetable garden, day lilies, hosta, blueberries and strawberries. The scent of the lure is so strong that the deer will go to the lure before any of your plants. I take them down around late June and remove the batteries to prevent corrosion. 6 spikes protect approximately 1 acre. I now have a rabbit problem and may try slanting the spike to lower the height of the zapper and replace the lure with a piece of celery. Wish me luck.
Please keep us updated
WOW! I'm so appreciative for the info. The deer are defiant and unafraid of me so they chomp away. I've tried so many things to halt deer eating. I'm excited to give this a whirl. THANKS
Thank you for sharing this product! I can't wait to purchase them!
Hope you like it! and your so welcome Michele!
Yaaaaa I am so glad you did this video!! I ordered!!!💕💕
Thank you! I'm definitely going to consider purchasing some of these. As a gardner who has experienced the frustration of deer damage, it sure was satisfying to see that footage of the deer. Lol.
The inventor of these lives in my county, and I've been interested in checking out reviews because they are a little pricey for an impulse purchase. Thank you so much for your review!
Thank you for this video! Mine just came in the mail this past Saturday. I placed them around my gardens. No deer activity yet. That's do, in part because the manufacturer suggests NOT to remove existing barriers right away. I've been using homemade deer repellent for years! I also have a few jingle bells randomly strung on some fishing wire. They hate unnatural sounds!
The reason I bought the spikes is every blue moon I forget to reapply then, MUNCH! They get my stuff! They are so persistent!
I am excited to hear if they work for anyone else!!!
We have been using the wireless deer fence for a few years & love them! They work so well.
Good to know! And thank you so much for sharing your experience.
Thank you for the video. I’m going to try these.
Been waiting for this review. The deer tried just about everything this spring in drought, looking for something to eat, spray or not. Mountain mint was a first for the deer. However this is Perfect timing with all the rain been difficult to keep up spraying and having a few trees nibbled because of course the spray washed off that was applied. Ordered two sets well worth it after all I have spent on deer detergents over the years.
What a smart invention! Perfect for Gardners who wish to save their expensive gardens.
That is a great solutions for deer! Your gardegarden is absolutely beautiful!
Thank you very much! 😊🌱
Thank you for sharing this info!
These SPIKES have been a game changer for me! Like you I had one area I didn’t have a spike and the deer found that patch of Hosta. I change the scent stick every 4 weeks and move them around. Thank you Steph for sharing the link in your initial video a few months back.
Hi Tina! Your so welcome. I'm glad they are working well for you. Thank you for showing me the video! 😊
I have a major deer problem and have been spraying with Bobbex for years. Once it dries I do not have to reapply after it rains, just every three weeks or so. It really works. They also make a spray deterrent for small animals.
Agree on bobbex. I use it and plantskyd. If you stay on it it does work.
Hi Stef 🌺 . Excellent invention to keep deer away from plants . I lovet . Have awonderful day .🌻🌺🌻
Thank you Lina! You too!😊
thank you for the information,I have a a lot of deer activity in my yard I will defiantly try.
I hope that same company makes some for rabbits and squirrels.
That would be great!! So many bunnies this year!
I was thinking that plus ground hogs and armadillos
Thank you so much! Excited to try them :D
We have a zoo near us with a lion exhibit. I get the lion manure from the zoo for a few bucks and put it in with my compost. I use the compost with all my plants and haven't had any dear, rabbit , moles, racoons, ground hogs, etc for 6 years since I've used this method. It's cheap, not much work, doesn't stink and works. The lion manure must scare the "poop" out of them and they stay away. It doesn't take a truck load either. Just a couple bushel baskets a year.
@francisjoseph9642 Do you have a cat? I read that lion dung is an effective repellent for neighborhood cats, and I wouldn't want our kitty to feel repulsed out there!
That’s amazing. Do you live in an area where bears roam around as well? Wondering if lion manure would also be effective against bears.
Thanks Steph for the information it looks like a great product. 🦌🦌
Your very welcome! Thanks for watching.
I wish I had seen this sooner! I planted Youpon holly bushes and the deer devoured them immediately! I thought I could actually have a few minutes to get my supplies organized but I was so very wrong!
I don’t want to get zapped 😅 but I’m really tempted to add these around my newly planted apple & thundercloud plum trees as an extra layer of protection!
I've been waiting for you to tell us how these work. I've had a deer problem for years. Excellent job, I learned so much. Thank You! 😊
Glad to help! Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for this video ! Very helpful ! Love your channel ! ❤
You are so welcome! And thank you so much 😊💚
Can’t wait to try these!
this is aweome. ty!
What a brilliant idea 😃
I think so too Jasmine! hopeful it continues to help 😊
Thanks so much for sharing the results of your testing Steph. I have been waiting to hear how they worked for you. This is definitely something I want to try since I am having trouble with the deer eating my Japanese maple. This was an excellent video. Well done friend!
Hi Sue! Your so welcome! If you decide to try some, you can probably use a box of 3 and make sort of a triangle configuration around the perimeter of your maple. That way they hit those before getting to close to your maple. I'm having a terrible time with bunnies this year. It's always something 😊💚
@@HookedandRooted Thanks Steph. Oh my goodness...there is a rabbit explosion here too. When Tom and I go for a walk, we must see 15 rabbits. I'm not sure what that is all about, but I have been hearing that from a lot of gardeners.
Best video tip EVER!
This video was so helpful! We are going to be placing our first spikes out today!
Glad it was helpful! Good luck! I hope it works out well for your beautiful garden 🌱💚
@@HookedandRootedThank you!!
Tayyyy thanx, just got a Fernspray Gold Hinocki cypress
Great video! Those pesky rascals have ate every peach on my new peach tree and blooms on my daylillies. So much rain this year its impossible to keep up with repellant spray and it is getting expensive. Ordering some spikes now.
Thank you for this info, Steph. Don't have a deer problem, but when you figure out what works for the bunnies, I will be very interested 🌿🐇🌺
Hasenpfeffer!
I just placed an order after watching your video and reading more reviews. Your information on installation and tips very helpful. Fingers crossed this works for me. Thank you for sharing.
Hi Pam! I hope they work well for you 💚
@@HookedandRooted Me too! I looked at my newly planted hydrangeas this morning and they took a hit the last two nights. I told my friend who is doing the landscaping that I placed an order last night and will place some around these bushes. Last year and the year before, the deer just sheered the front half of the existing bushes and the blooms were safe in the back closer to the house, It made for some goofy looking bushes.
This was very informative and interesting. I think these would work on the raccoons that come in and reek havoc in my yard too. Says they are only 19” high. 🤔
Thanks so much for vid and even showing how it’s assembled and works. Along with the link. 🤗
Great video!
I have never heard of these! Thank you so much! Let us know what you find for the bunnies!
Sign me up! Those flower chomping marauders drive me insane. They’re lucky they’re cute. I can’t wait to try these. Thank you so much.
Nice informative video. Thank you.
Thank you! I really hope this works for me!
I hope so too! Best of luck 🌱
Have had it with deer and rabbits. Spray does work, but we have an overhead sprinkler system and between that and intermittent rain, it can easily be washed off. I am slowly removing the plants that attract them, and replacing with plants that laugh at deer and rabbits. It means I can’t have some of my favorites, but I can live with that and I can’t live with half eaten plants that look awful for the season. Dwarf crape Myrtles are good, as are butterfly bushes and astilbe. Alliums have become one of my favorites. It is also expensive to replant, knowing the cost of plant life today. But, I am looking forward to seeing everything flourish and not be dinner for the animal kingdom
Thanks for the info.
Any time! Thanks for watching! 🌱
Just last week I saw that one of my daylilies had buds that were cut off just like your deer damaged ones. I wasn't sure if it was deer or not, but this week I saw hoof prints in my shrub bed mulch. Eeek! I just put in my order!
Mainly I have had rabbit damage and have to fence my tulips each spring. I keep my ornamental quince fenced always. They loved eating the bark off of it in the winter.
Great info just had several plants eaten this week I use spray but the rains are difficult on getting the spray out as you know . I’d invest 60 to 120$ to see if it would help and reduce the bit of stress of loosing the blooms.
Thanks
Hi Steph, thank you for sharing this I need to get these the deer are eating everything. It's exhausting and we have to much rain to keep after the deer away. I have a bunny problem as well so hopefully we can find something to combat them.
My neighbor said that the average count of deer per one mile is 11. We have 88. It is beyond frustrating. Our Komondor, (Mop dog) has chased them into the woods. She’s only 8 months old 😂! Thank you for this information. I may order some.
Those pesky deer! I'm glad you were able to figure out a solution Steph! 😁
Hi Mary!! It's an ongoing battle lol. These are working for now. But will they outsmart them? Time will tell. All we can do is keep trying 💪now the bunnies are taunting me 🤪
@@HookedandRooted It's like you're in a Disney fairytale except the animals are eating your pretty plants! 🤣
@@HookedandRootedThank you for this video and valuable information! My neighbors feed deer in their yards. It draws and keeps them in my yard along with theirs. Therefore, I cannot grow food or decorative flowers. Although it’s frustrating I do not confront them. I don’t think they or me will benefit from my words. Perhaps, they will learn one day why it’s detrimental to the deer and to the humans interfering in nature.
Meanwhile, I’m interested in this product and if it still works for you. I’m tempted to run out and buy immediately so I can get a few things planted which we’ve always wanted.
Again, I thank you for your efforts to educate and help your fellow man.
Very good presentation, glad it works for you, I'm thinking my deer population is too great for this little device.
Thank you for this video. With all the money I have spent on sprays and cages, over the years, this seems like a bargain. Definitely, going to try. Wish they had something for rabbits.
I hear you Susan, I am also wishing these worked for Rabbits at the moment. Tons of bunnies this year 😣
Wow, I wonder if this works for rabbits too. Thanks for sharing 😊
The deer also ate ALL THE BUDS off my brand new day lilies I planted. That was when I tore out all my landscaping in front. I tried all sorts of stuff. Nothing worked. Now I just have grass and I don’t care.
@hookedandrooted, Do birds or bees get attracted to the scent and get zapped? If not, this seems like a really good solution I'd be willing to try out. Thanks for the review. It was very informative.
I had some container tomatoes on my patio one year and just when I was getting good size fruit, Those darn deer came UP on the patio and took ONE BITE out of each green tomato. I gave up after that. Am going to try again this year.
When we first bought our house, deer ate my hostas down to little nubs. But no problem since we fenced in our yard. I still see them in the woods behind us and think they are beautiful.
How high of a fence did you build? Thinking of doing the same.
Thanks for sharing this product. I utilize fencing, and I must garden products. The deer are getting worse every year in North Carolina. It is sad to see plants damaged after hard work and anticipation of how your plants will grow only to see them get set back. I was curious, do your deer bother your Japanses maples? Im suprised they bother your conifers. All ive read is that deer avoid conifers except yews. Love your videos
Thanks so much for this video. I went out of town and the deer ate my container hostas that had been in place for at least 4 years between my house and my generator. Argh!!!😡😡😡 I have no problem zapping the destructive deer. A farmer about 10 miles away has received permission to shoot deer, which were eating his crops. I will definitely order some of these spikes. As for bunnies, I wish someone would make electrified cloches.
Boy did that deer jump! Looks like it works.
So far so good! 🤞
I have over 180 roses. There is now way I could afford those spikes!
Just tried plantsyyd and so far so good!
180 roses! That is a very valuable garden. I don’t think $60, the cost of a single rose plant, is too much of an investment to protect them. I hope you will be able to afford them soon.
How frequently do you move them around?
This possibly could be a fire hazard a very dry area ( eg: in California where you can’t have horse shoes for risk of sparks, type of fire risk areas)
They should make these with solar chargers like solar lights. Then the batteries would last a whole season or more. 🤔
I like it. Expensive but lasts. I use good rechargeable bats. It would be much better if they used 18650 lithium. Also if the pellets are expensive figure out the scent and use essential oils.
U couldve made this for far cheaper. It just charges a capacitor or two. If it takes 20 min, the r prob large caps. It's prob just an rc network, or even just a capacitor and battery. Prob run electrodes through a scent tag or something, maybe a few dollars to build
Now if you have any ideas on how to keep the herons out of my koi pond . My yard is like a zoo lol deer geese fox coyotes I had a herd of 19 deer last fall ! If I can find these electric spikes they will be all over the yard lol
I just wrap fishing line around 4 stakes placed at the corners of my raised-bed garden and rewrap the continuous line every foot of height of stake. Spooks the deer when they touch it and they leave my plants alone.
Thank you for sharing! The stinky deer repellent is causing my dahlias to have more bugs issues than before.
That is such an interesting observation. Thanks for sharing!
Off topic, what kind of bug spray do you use for your dahlia?
I want to try these so badly. And I'm willing to pay the price if they actually work. I've wasted more than $60 or even $120 on plants that have been destroyed by deer. BUT, I watched many other videos and some show the deer getting zapped and instead of jumping and running back in the direction it came, it jumped OVER the zapper and directly into the space the gardener was trying to keep it out of. Have you (or anyone out there reading this) had any experiences like that? I would be mortified if the deer jumped over one plant and ended up trampling the 4 or 6 or 10 plants behind it as it made its frantic exit.
Hi Steph! Thank you so much for the video! Can you tell me the name of the red tree behind you when you were setting up the deer fence? I love it and I want one❤
Hi there, that is a Bloodgood Japanese maple 🍁
I have porblem Ground hou for vegetables garden plz what can i do
Strategy question: Do you spray/scatter deer repellent in the same area where you place the spikes? Maybe not-you don’t want to deter the deer from encountering the spikes? Please advise!
Now let's see how this works in winter
Hi just wondiring why I can't find this item even at amazon? I really need this because most of my asiatic lilies deer ate it😔
thanks, I will give these a try. I'm already spending 20-30 dollars on the spray every few months, and then next step would be to install ugly fencing that may or may not work. I'm trying to grow a privacy hedge, not much privacy when they keep getting grazed down!!! Someone needs to send these deer back to the jerk store.
Bunnies are living under my shed this year! I need to figure out how to get them out.
I'm so sorry Meghan! That's so frustrating. I have a bunch at any given time in the yard. They must have a den nearby. Thankfully if they grass is longer, they stick to the clover, but they have also chomped on a few of my plants.
Where can I buy these wireless deer fences?
June of 2024 and just checking if they are still effective. Have just dug out some hosta that are only twigs. Might be pricey but so is digging up plants.
Hi there, they appear to be working, but I also use them along with regular spraying of deer repellant.
@@HookedandRooted Thanks for the advice. I am about done with trying to deter them. I have three beds now that they don’t touch and that don’t have to be sprayed. My goal is to have plants I love but that I don’t have to protect. I think I will always keep some that are in danger, I just love them and it’s worth it. But, by and large, my past two years of taking out and replanting have paid off.
I'm wondering if this would work for armadillo?
Hi Brenda, I'm not sure I'm not affiliated with this company. I made a video based on my experience in my garden. Your best bet would be to reach out to the company. Here is their website: wirelessdeerfence.com/
Thanks!
Hi Elizabeth, Thank you so very much for your super thanks! It was my first one ever! I was so surprised and so thankful. 💚 Have a great day! 😊
Do they work in the winter when deer come to eat everything?
Just saying…maybe these things seem to work now in spring because deer are eating normal things other places. When it comes to survival time watch out
Where can these be purchased? I can’t find them on Amazon. Can you please share a link where they’re available currently? Thanks!
Hi, the details on where these can be purchased are in the description of the video, but here's their website: wirelessdeerfence.com/
Is it water proof? I sometimes get a lot of rain
Hi, yes my deer spikes are outside year round.
these spikes haven't worked for me the deer go around them and eat what they want.I am thinking about electric fence
My daughter has “deer problem”, I will let her know. Can you buy additional fragrance blue inserts? 😊
Hi Anna! Yes, I purchased additional packets on their website.
Looks interesting. Wonder if/how it works with bears? I’ve got both deer and black bears…Will it “train” bears in the same way? Or just make them angry? 😂
lol you need one the size of a lamp post for bears 😂
I ordered some of those deer stakes. Have you noticed the deer eating other plants since you began protecting the ones they were eating?
Hi Jennifer! They did eat a couple of lilies but I didn't have any stakes nearby and missed spraying it. They aren't turning to things they wouldn't normally eat if that's what you mean? I think if they get zapped, they just move along. I will be moving my stakes around soon, too, in hopes it keeps deterring them. I am, however, having an issue with rabbits this year. Something ate the beds off a large clump of anenomes I had. Which is always frustrating.
@@HookedandRooted Yes! Rabbits are eating lots of things that I didn't think they would eat. I am trying every possible deterrent or repellent I can find. If the deer don't eat, then the rabbits do and vice versa. 😡😡😡
Do these work with groundhogs and rabbits that is my worst problem
They are marketed as a deer training system, so I'm not sure how they would work for those critters Elizabeth.
Are these spikes still available? I don’t see them in your Amazon store🤷♀️
Hi Judy, these are not available on Amazon. Here's where I ordered mine from:
Wireless Deer Fence Spikes/Posts and be found here:
wirelessdeerfence.com/
@@HookedandRooted Thank You❣️
Can't find on Amazon. $84 in the manufacturer's store.
I'm happy that I am not the only one who could not locate on Amazon. did order 2 sets from the manufacturer and eagerly awaiting their arrival. I am so wary of having a lovely crop of dayLillies (hosts, and anything else) in full bud and in one night the deer pick off all the buds. GRRRRR. sure wish Amazon had them! I would have them by now.
darn autocorrect...was trying to write WEARY! sick and tired works too!
Nice, but to expensive. ☹️
Good morning, can you please send me the link?? thank you
Hi Robin, if you look at the additional information under the video (description section), I have the link there 😊
Maybe a howling wolf gadget...lol😂😢😅
Wish they were solar powered. And I wonder if instead of being dependent on a life of "scent tubes" you can just put some Irish Spring bar soap or something else around. The point is to repel them, not attract them. I know the narrative here is that you're "training" them just as you do with a wireless border fence for dogs, but that's not how you train your dogs to avoid the border. You don't put bacon down at the perimeter and try to "lure" the dog into being shocked. I would rather the deer associate the smell of my plants with the shock, not the smell of the scent tubes. Once you're out of scent tubes, the deer will ignore the sticks and go back to eating all the plants in the garden that aren't right next to the stick.
i wish it worked for squirrels. Those are my biggest problems here.
