Thanks for the video, I have the same problem here (Bergen County NJ), and I almost gave up to the point to replace most of my shrubs and trees for deer resistant plants, however, there are few that remain, so I decided to use a electric fence. The fence works but I don't like too much the look. I look into these options, but I was too skeptical, But since I see you tried, I'm going to try them . Thanks again and please keep the good work with your videos ;-)

Just set them up and we'll see how they do. My problem is cats going in the flower bed to crap. I had used this type of ultrasonics in the past it solved the problem the units got old and I never replaced them because the cats never came back until now which is going on a couple of years now.

I have the small green model and I bought it to chase away raccoons and stray cats. It does not work. On camera I still see raccoons and cats getting into my yard and garden. A couple cats went up to it and dented the speaker. I usually leave it on the 5 setting but the battery drains quickly and the solar charging can’t keep up. It’s been a couple months now and the red light on the motion sensor is only half lit. You might get better results for deers.

Nice video, thank you but after reading the reviews I'll use my older methods for now. Hang a few bars of Irish Spring off bamboo poles, deer hate the smell in the garden. I get a lot of help from "bird ribbon" and weird curled ribbon things that are shiny holographic and metallic foil found cheaply at yard sales and thrift shops from Halloween. Again tie those at the top of bamboo poles and trellis to blow and wave in the wind. The very best deterrent if you have power within earshot of your garden is plugging in an old AM FM radio, they're cheap at yard sales, make sure they're well protected from weather with plastic or taped to the inside of a small tub perhaps and crank it up full time. The radio works very well even in established deer trail areas.

These things absolutely do not prevent deer from eating your plants. They “work” in the sense that movement triggers them. However, the things that movement triggers them to do are completely ineffective at stopping deer from eating your plants. They may as well be singing lullabies to the deer. That would be equally effective
