Pacific Northwest Gardening: Deer Eating My Arborvitae., 1 by gardener105

I have 18-7 ft. Arborvitae that were growing very well until this winter, the deer are devouring them. I made up a mixture of 1 gal. water 1/4 cup ea. of Louisiana Hot Sauce, Cayenne Pepper, Chipotle Tobasco Sauce and Elmer glue for a sticker and sprayed it on them. Do you think it will deter the deer, it sure smelled HOT! My question is, if I fertilize those plants weekly will they recover over the summer? As you can see they are literally eating holes in them! These plants used to be twice that wide and thick. Please HELP!
