Via I-79 it is 30 miles (48 km) south to downtown Pittsburgh and 99 miles (159 km) north to Erie. Pennsylvania Route 68 passes through the borough just south of the downtown and leads west into Zelienople and east 17 miles (27 km) to Butler, the county seat.
1 Daffodils, foxgloves, and poppies are common flowers that have a toxicity that deer avoid. 2  Deer also turn their noses up at fragrant plants with strong scents. 3  Herbs such as sages, ornamental salvias, lavenders, peonies, and bearded irises are just âstinkyâ to deer.
Remember, we say deer 'resistant' and not deer 'proof'. Younger plants may be at greater risk of being eaten and younger deer may eat anything in sight as they learn what they do and do not like. And, of course, the plants are not resistant to being stepped on (or slept on!) by deer, elk, or even dogs.
