RECIPIES FOR DEER REPELLANT
We highly recommend Deer Scram! Deer Scram is an organic repellant that can be used in all seasons. It is a granular product that is sprinkled on location.
We also recommend Liquid Fence. Liquid Fence simulates the odor of Coyote or Dog urine, which discourages deer from visiting the areas that are sprayed.

Blend 2 eggs and a cup or two or cold water at high speed. Add this mixture to a gallon of water and let it stand for 24 hours. After 24 hours, spray on foliage. The egg mixture does not wash off easily, but re-application 2-3 times a season may be needed. For a larger quantity, blend a dozen eggs into 5 gallons of water. This mix is also said to repel rabbits.

6 eggs
4 hot peppers or enough to make it very hot
6-12 gloves of garlic, enough to make it stink
5 cups of warm water.
Put it all in a blender and liquify it. Put it in an old milk jug. Set it out for a couple of days in the sun to let it cook and get really stinky and hot. Strain it good if you want to use it in a sprayer. You can also pour it on and/or around the plants directly from the jug.
