Grate it and spread it around your gardens.
Use a grater and place around plant. NOT MUCH deters chipmunks. I have tried them all including traps. Irish Spring deters deer because of the scent but it is by no means foolproof.
Shred it and spread it. Here's a DIY with other tips as well. xhttps://www.hometalk.com/diy/outdoor/pest-repeller/keep-pests-out-of-your-garden-36957261

1. Start by grating the bars of soap. To make it easier to grate them, place the soap in a warm window for a few minutes to help soften it up.
2. You may wish to place the grater in a plastic bag as you grate, so the bag catches all of the soap shavings.
3. Grate 2-3 bars until you have a nice pile of shavings.
4. Immediately place the shavings in areas you wish to repel pests.
You can cut small slivers of soap and place around areas around your house to deter pests. You can also hang Irish Spring soap in your shrubs to keep rodents away
Shred and sprinkle around. I’ve also put a whole bar in a net and hung.

Shave in slivers and place in a mesh pouch out of the rain.
