I used plastic berry netting over my English ivy area, held up by 2'
stakes. The deer ate every bit of ivy except the area protected by
the netting. I've tried blood meal, mothballs, tobacco tea, rotten
eggs, Irish spring, and fish emulsion without much success.

Could you send some of your deer to Washington State? Here, English
Ivy is a highly invasive plant (it's the Kudzu of the NW) and nothing
seems to eat it.
