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.

solution of Irish Spring soap. Have not lost a tree in 15 years to deer or
rabbits.
I also hang each year ΒΌ bar of soap from each tree so
