Something else that also works -- usually -- repellant products containing
the active ingredient Thiram, a fungicide. I suspect it's more deterrant
than repellant, as it's reported to smell like rotten eggs to critters which
may interfere with their sense of smell and keep them from smelling
(finding) desirable plant material. Same deal with moth balls
(napthalene), tho I'd be cautious about using it around vegies or anywhere
accessible to pets and/or kiddles.

Thank you Jen, I ,may give that a try. I believe he has a stronger
interrest in my neighbor's garden right now. Some one also mentioned
Fox Urine as a repellant. blood meal may have the same repelling
affect.

This spring I used Bloodmeal on my tulips which the local rabbits ate
back to the ground last year. This year, I layered on the blood meal
nice n' thick and there were no problems. Not one bite. That might
work for your Daylillies and it'll feed 'em too!
