Donna, I had read about the Shotgun and actually bought some at the end of last season, but never ended up using it. Now I remember why I bought it. It is mixed in with a transpirant and forms a seal on the plant so that you only have to apply it every 3 months. However in the case of tall lilies that experience a foot or two of growth monthly, you should probably spray the lower 2 feet monthly. Growth breaks the transpirant seal and the lily would now only have the product on the top foot, not down at the critter's reach. However, if deer are the issue, then you would not have to keep spraying the top, only the lower parts.

I also remember thinking of trying Plantskyyd, but the cost of the Shotgun was much better. Bonide makes good products.

Thanks for the daff tip. I'll order some for the fall. Some creature munched my Sum & Substance Hosta today!!!!!
