Our local arboritum had trouble with an exploding deer population devoring the young trees. The solution is decidedly low technology. They hung dozens of trial-size (i.e. like the bars you see in airplane lavalotries) bars of Ivory and Life Buoy soap on strings from the tree brnaches. The deer were attracted by the sweet smell of the soap, took a nibble or two and Y-u-c-k!! Boy these trees sure taste awful! The soap, of course, has no long term deleterious physiological effect on the deer. To prolong the life of the soap bars, it is best to leave them wrapped up in the paper that they come with. Attachemnt is facilitated by drilling a hole in the middle of the soap cake to provide a study way to attach the string. ==Bill== -- Bill Mayhew NEOUCOM Computer Services Department Rootstown, OH 44272-9995 USA phone: 216-325-2511 wtm@uhura.neoucom.edu ....!uunet!aablue!neoucom!wtm via internet: (140.220.001.001)
