Unless you do something. I spray with Repels-All, but I also have obstacles that keep them out of the way. In fact, I looked outside this morning and said I feel like making a garden post. Then I noticed the hostas in bloom and thought that might be a good topic, so I came here and you had already started the thread!

You can get it from Amazon for about $13.50 and it will prol'ly last you the rest of your life. I have had mine for years (I ordered the concentrate, though).

It's good for all kinds of things, like keeping raccoons out of the trash.
