If the hot stuff is working keep with it! For me it was effective, until it rained... then you come out to eaten stuff again.
I tried it, more than once. The reason I recommend Milorganite and Deer Solution is that both are at least partially resistant to being diminished with every watering and rain. Deer Solution is actually absorbed (there might be other product that are the same way I can only speak to what I've used or know the facts on) which means the protection is at least in the parts that have absorbed the repellent. What you still have to keep sprayed is new growth. Milorganite is a very weak fertilizer that has a smell that makes them move along a bit faster and by itself isn't always strong enough if they feel hungry enough. After better than 25 years fighting with deer what I did learn is there is no perfect solution outside of very high fences!
