A spray of 20 percent whole eggs and 80 percent water is one of the most effective repellents. To prevent the sprayer from clogging, remove the chalaza or white membrane attached to the yolk before mixing the eggs. The egg mixture is weather resistant but must be reapplied in about 30 days. There are also commercially available chemical repellents. REALLY spicy hot sauce (think Carolina Reaper, Scorpion or Bhut Jolokia), coyote urine and Deer Away are pretty effective.
Home-remedy repellents are questionable at best. These include small, fine-mesh bags of human hair (about two handfuls) and bar soap hung from branches of trees. Replace both soap and hair bags monthly. Deer have been reported to eat the soap bars. Materials that work in one area or for one person may not work at all in an area more highly frequented by deer.
Physical barriers like fencing and netting also work pretty well.
I put metal wire around any of my plant areas and zip tie it to metal post. If you don't the deer will eat whatever you have and the little tag that comes with your plant might say deer resistant but thats not to mention the fact deer can't read:)
You can either fence in the area or pound posts in the ground and then attach twine and tin cans or old pie plates. Deer wont come around your plants then because the noise will scare them.

told to me by a hairdresser. She uses hair clippings around her plantings. Makes animals think humans are there and they go away.
