Deer Be Gone sold at Lowes Home Improvement store. Stinks to high heaven, so wear old throw away clothes and gloves. Probably will need to reapply if you get a lot of rain. This product totally worked for us and our day lillies. I recommend it.
Hello June. Our property includes woods. And the DuPage River runs on the other side of the woods. So we see a lot of wildlife. I have tried everything under the sun to keep animals out of my gardens. The only thing that has worked for me is shredded Irish Spring soap. Every Spring I buy the big package of Irish Spring bars of soap. I shred all the bars at one time. I store it all in a five-gallon bucket with lid and put it in my shed. After I put plants in the beds, I spread the soap around each bed. I still see a few bites out of my tomatoes, but nothing like I used to. I recommend the soap with very good results. Good luck June.
Hi June. It's Cindy again. No, the soap will not harm grass or plants. I spread out even more of the soap after it rains. That's why I shred it all at one time so that I have it ready when I need it. Good luck with your roses.
I read about the Irish Spring Soap and gave it a try last year. It works! I was always having issues with deer, rabbits and squirrels and I was very presently surprised that the shredded soap worked so well. I would recommend that to anyone. Good luck!

I’ve had luck with spreading dog hair around plants.
