Irish Spring is it! It can be put in a mesh type bag and hung from their favorite
shrubs too. No shaving, just the bar soap.
An 8 foot fence all around your garden. I don't mean to be "flip" but all the repellent recipes as well as commercial I have tried have never done very little or no good.

I would think that using a little cayenne pepper sprinkled around your gardens would run them off! Also, there are many herbs that don't smell very good to an animal so try several to see which one works best.
My mom used hair that her hairdresser would save when she swept up, to spread around her garden to ward off pests.

My farmer friend swears by 1/2c dawn dishwashing liquid, and 1/8 c cinnamon. Put in a spray bottle and douse the areas thoroughly.

Use a vegetable peeler on the bar of Irish Spring soap and scatter shavings around plants and bushes. There's a product called Bobbex that works really well if you have something you want to protect though!
I read this from Gma Kirk: A farmer gave me a gross recipe for repellent...but it works. cup or two of urine, tablespoons of crushed garlic, and cayenne pepper, two eggs in a gallon jug, shake well, fill rest of the way with water. Cap and let age a week. Then you drizzle small stream around the perimeter of whatever you want to keep them from eating - works on rabbits too!
