kennysh said: I use Vicks Vapor Rub, on fence, on post, a few leaves, stick put in the ground near plant. Some people put it on small pieces of felt.
Usually once a month, depending on how much rain fall, holds up pretty well. I usually start after scapes have started 
I promised to report success or failure with the Vicks Vaporub method and am happy to report success. I "tested" by putting Vicks smeared stakes around some plants and beds and not around others in mid-July. I still have daylilies blooming in the bed with stakes and those in beds without have been chewed nearly to the ground, in spite of anything else I've used. We've had quite a bit of rain over the past month so sprays haven't worked at all. I'm going to buy more Vicks and more stakes and stake out all the beds.
and
kennysh for the tip.
