Scare Tape

I bought this tape in the hopes of managing the deer. They have damaged at least 50% of our chestnut crop, so we are implementing a collection of techniques to keep them away from the new foliage. To test the tape, we installed fence posts around the garden so that I can tie the tape to each and watch the effectiveness. I was hoping this would help keep the birds from eating all of my berries this year, but my husband saw a bird actually sitting on the fence post while the tape tapped it on its' head. Oh well. Maybe it'll scare off the bear.
