I have used Irish Spring soap for years with success. We literally live in a forest, so on our land there is lots & lots of wildlife. We don’t Chase the wildlife away, just make our veggies & flowers inaccessible or inedible. So if the soap thing works for us, it should work for anyone.😀
Deer turn their noses up at fragrant plants with strong scents. Sages, ornamental salvias, and lavender, daffodils, garlic,
Use a vegetable peeler on the bar of Irish Spring soap and scatter shavings around plants and bushes.
Soap or cayenne pepper
Oh no! Well I suppose that doesn’t work!
Thank you for letting me know.
I tie 1/2 bar of Irish Spring soap in an old knee high stocking and hang it near the plants. Doesn't last long if you shred it. Also plant lavender. Works for me.
