Other than a good fence, I have heard that they do not like Irish Spring soap that is shreaded. You will also have to keep applying it when it is melts.

My friend grew Sage and she said they did not like that.

In my experience, only a fence that is taller than deer can jump is a truly reliable and consistent way to keep deer out of an area. Deer have an incredible ability to know where food is and figure out a way to get at it.

I agree, that a fence is really the only reliable way. They are not easily deterred. There are some plants that are less appetizing that you might try. https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/pests/deer/deer-resistant-garden-plans.htm

Either a 6 to 8 strand barbed wire fence, or try a liquid fence..... https://www.theprairiehomestead.com/2015/06/homemade-liquid-fence-recipe.html there is also commercial stuff on the market. You will need a large garden sprayer.

Don't plant ornamentals that are tasty to the deer, like roses. I have deer in my yard all year round and they graze the grass, and only browse the fushias in the fall.

I've read many times that deer hate the smell of "Irish Spring" bath soap! People have shredded it and placed in areas where deer are being pests and it helps. Of course, since it disslves in rain it would have to be repeated occasionally. maybe orth giving it a try.

I think a tall fence is your best bet

Hello, hope this helps you out,

what works best to deter deer?

1. A well-constructed fence or cage around the garden can be made 100 percent deer-proof. Fences top the list.
2. Outdoor dogs, such as Walter the basset hound mentioned above, are extremely effective keeping deer out of the yard but they may have a bad day, need a trip to the vet, or need to travel to win another hunting citation ribbon. They’re not 100 percent effective, but close.
3. Repellent sprays and granules, scent stations, sprinklers, and noisemakers are very effective, but a starving deer may bypass those deterrents to eat your garden. I’m grouping these deterrents together because they all have equally good reviews.
4. Homemade sprays with garlic powder and cayenne are almost as effective as commercial sprays, but they need to be reapplied more often since they wash off with rain more easily.
5. Ribbons, reflectors and owl decoys are effective until a deer works up the courage to approach and feed. Once they learn there is no real threat, your garden becomes their salad bar.
6. I’m putting soap, human hair and pee near the bottom of the list only because I don’t have a lot of data on those repellents. In other words, I don’t have friends or sources who admit they pee on their garden, or spread soap and human hair to keep away the deer and that it actually works. I’m sure those repellents work to some degree, I just don’t know how well they work, particularly compared to the commercial repellents.
