Description
Though it may be enjoyable to live in an area where deer and other wildlife roam freely, there's an unfortunate downside: deer can destroy both landscapes and gardens. To create a deer-proof area, you must find a deer repellant that works. Instead of purchasing a repellant, consider making one yourself from a recipe.
Ingredients
Instructions
Step 1
To make a homemade deer repellant, place 3 eggs, 3 tbsp. garlic juice, 3 tbsp. hot pepper sauce and 1/2-cup water in a blender. Process until combined. Add this mixture to 1 gallon of water and fill a spray bottle with the repellant. Spray your outdoor plants to repel deer.
Step 2
For another deer repellant, place 2 eggs, 1 cup water, 1 cup skim milk and 2 tbsp. liquid dish soap in a blender. Process until combined. Spray on plants.
Step 3
Another popular recipe is 2 eggs, 2 tbsp. liquid dish detergent and 2 tbsp. oil mixed well. Add this mixture to 2 gallons of water. Fill a spray bottle with this repellant, and spray plants as needed to keep deer at bay.
Step 4
Combine 1 egg yolk, 1 tbsp. baking powder and 1 gallon of water. Mix well and pour into a spray bottle. Spray plants with this repellant approximately every two weeks to repel deer.
Step 5
Scatter human or animal hair around plants. It will keep deer away, and as the hair decomposes, it enriches the soil with nitrogen.
