Smells sucky to them even in winter.

Swimmer, how often do you need to redip in perfume?
Sounds like it works great if it keeps them away from fruit trees.
Thanks

When it smells no more to your nose they can still smell the perfume, so use that as a beginning and end, so to speak. I use it on my trees. They stopped eating the new shoots for starters. Have to cut up the old long johns I just cleaned out of my bureau for this years batch.
