We have found that Irish Spring works best in combination with dryer
sheets, and Guinness Stout.
You need to hang both the sheets and the soap on the perimeter of the
orchard, and place bottles of stout about every fifty feet or so.
Lebricons will smell the Irish Spring and see the white dryer sheets,
and think they are at a football (soccer) game. They will naturally
drink the stout, while hanging around in the trees around the
perimeter of the orchard. While they
enjoy the stout they will make such a scene that no self respecting
deer will be found near the orchard.
