Deer eat Arisaema

The stuff I have used on my azaleas for several years now is called "Chew-
Not". It's active ingredient is Thiram or Tetramethylthiuram Disulfide. (Now
close your eyes and YOU spell it). Seems to be effective. Even though it's
water-soluble, it stands up against the rain and snow provided you let it have
a chance to dry. The only thing is, you need really a power sprayer to apply
it, and of course you need to apply it above freezing temps. Says it is
effective against deer, rabbits, mice. Won't injure trees or foliage, or harm
animals. It comes in one gallon containers or less. The True Value Hardware
chain in Hopewell Junction carries it, and it's made, or at least packaged by
an outfit called "Nott" in Pleasant Valley, NY which is near here.

Can't see why deer want Arisaema, when by the time this is out, other stuff is
available for them.
