Default Motion-activated deer repellants

I am having a real problem with deer this year. They are grazing my
geraniums, asters, sedums and anemones down to stubs. Spraying with
various deer repellants has not deterred them as it has done in years past,
I suspect because of the severe drought.

Does anyone have experience with either a motion-activated hi-frequency
sound machine, such as YardGard Animal Repeller, or a motion-activated
sprinkler, such as the Scarecrow?

Here are links to the products I'm looking at --

Thanks for any input,

I've heard of "Deer Scram," bars of Irish Spring, fox/human urine but
doubt the effectiveness of these. I use an electric fence, plant
deer-resistant flowers, and use cages and netting.
