    Good luck !! They are like gourmet food for deer . Some Hostas may benefit from deer repellents , but most of these need need regular re-application and not 100% fool proof . Ck Hosta growers site for their suggestions , but I'd say only tall ugly fences are about the closest to 100% .

      Coyote urine spray is available at garden centers or on

      line , like most , not 100% foolproof . I've heard of nurseries say Life-boy soap works ..... go figure !

    Hi Pat,

    Try planting sage in between the hostas,they don't like it.

    The only sure way is to use fencing. Some people use pepper spray on the plants.
