Deer Out. Look it up on line. Works for me.

For the deer, at least...

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.

I used deer repellent but it rains every day -- will have to try the egg mixture -- as the rain washes away the repellent. Have you heard get hair cuttings from salon and spread about --- does that work?

There are some plants that work fairly well. Look online and also try the old farmers almanac online.

don't plant that stuff

Put out a motion sensor water sprinkler.

Thanks to everyone for the helpful hints!
