From the Manufacturer
This electronic repellent for deer uses a unique patented technology that attracts deer short range - luring animals that have already wandered onto your property. Simply place a few drops of the acorn scented deer lure onto a cotton ball, install the batteries into the head unit, snap the post together, and stake it in your yard. When the deer repellent is properly placed near a deer path, the lure will attract deer to the posts. Upon contact, the deer receive a gentle static shock (likened to static electric shock received from carpeting, etc.) conditioning them to stay away from your yard. The green and silver colors of the posts blend with your yard, but the tops are bright red to alert humans that they are dangerous. Economical and effective, this electronic repellent for deer is impervious to heat and cold and works like an electric fence, but without the wires! The deer repellent creates a psychological barrier to the deer that manipulates instinctual behaviors and keeps them off of your property. This electronic deer repellent includes 3 units, aromatic lure, instructions, cotton balls, and order form for additional lure. Each unit requires 2 AA batteries (6 total; not included). One set of batteries lasts over a year. Easy to assemble and install. Covers an area of approximately 1,200 sq. ft.

The Verdict is Not In
I have a large mulch bed with plants and flowers two feet from the woods behind my house. I watched two bucks for about 30 minutes as they grazed in my neighbor's yard and slowly made their way to mine. Eventually Buck1 was three feet from one of the Havahart stakes but never turned from the woods towards the stake. I'm hoping this is because I failed to re-scent the stake after it rained the previous day. I second deer (Buck2) slowly made its way closer to the stake. He went straight for it and received a mild shock. His reaction was to turn and take two large steps away from the stake. He stared at the stake for about 30 seconds then continued to graze, but never came any closer than 10 feet away from the stake. Buck1 did not react when the Buck2 was shocked. In fact, within 2 minutes of Buck2 being shocked Buch1 touched the stake. Unfortunately, he was not shocked because it takes 15 minutes for the stakes to recharge. The deer remained in my yard and even came within a foot of a second Havahart stake, but never touched it. I'm going to do a better job of re-scenting after rainfall and see how it goes.

Did not work- deer went right by it
I put the deer repeelent right where the deer like to den in my backyard. The deer walked right by it and nothing happened. Did not work at all.
