lst time use and wanted to make a comment about the success of Deervik. That was a task and I didn't expect to have to sign in.

OK-Now on to my very positive comments about Deervik but not about conquering the voles and moles in my city property... An Aunt in Springfield, Ill., introduced me to Deer vik a few years ago and at the time when we lived on 10 acres of wooded property in the country. She lived in a development at the edge of the city. The deer were eating everything in sight of her very large and formal flower gardens. They would see them traveling in the backyard as they sat in the kitchen eating breakfast. I bought Deervik and it worked for me too. My purchase was right after the company reformulated their product to make EPA happy. That info is assumed by me and my Aunt and did not come from Deervik people.
I belong to a garden club and also work in the gardens at the historical home of Mary Washington with Master Gardeners and have told the "girls" about Deervik. One girl on 3 acres bought a gallon of Deervik just this past month.
There is likely not a week of many conversations with people at garden centers, etc. that DEER does not come up. The answer is always Deervik. Even the lady on 3 acres said "I have tried everything". I said "D E E R V IK!!!!!!! GET SOME." And she obviously did and it works for her too. However for her it is impossible to cover the entire 3 acres of flowers so they do eat some of the plants that they do like. The deer also come right up to her when she is working in the yard. I cautioned her of the male deer in mating season as they can be very dangerous.
I am also thinking that playing a radio in several places in the gardens might help to keep them away at night. Voices would help where Deervik wouldn't have been applied.

I have had deer eat everything in my yard, even the stuff that they shouldn't like. I've tried everything! I ordered some Deervik early this spring and it is working wonderfully! I just jab a stick in the stuff and put the stick in the ground aroud my garden and bushes. The deer are really staying away from the plants. My azaleas actually bloomed this year and my hostas are getting almost too big for my front flower bed. It is really working. I'm very please with the product and have even let my neighbor use some. They now have roses on their rose bush for the first time in years.

Deervik really works. I've been using a spray for a number of years and
it's o.k. but you have to reapply after rain and it's a real bother.
Deervik has been much better and I haven't seen a single deer.

Where IS Deervik? I've tried to contact them every way; including telepathically. They haven't gone out of business, have they? I have so little left now, I have to decide which plants are "deervik-worthy." Are they just too busy filling orders, that they had to stop taking them? I'm hoping I haven't told too many people about it.
Well, to put it simply, Deervik saved my gardening life. Coming from Chicago, where there are no deer, to SW Michigan, where there are deer everywhere, I was not anticipating the deer and I loving the same plants and flowers! Discovering Deervik--fabulous! I'm back to being happy in the garden!
