Tin pie plates tied in trees bushes and poles will help. Put them high enough they will catch the wind 3 to 5 feet off the ground. Sound and noise scares almost anything away.Helpful Reply -

I bought Irish Spring Soap (original) cheesecloth and a little garden hanger. I shaved the soap with a potato peeler and tied it inside the cheesecloth and hung it around my flowers plants etc. I also spread shavings loosely on the ground. The deer and rabbits have disappeared and my flowers are growing beautifully! Good Luck!Helpful Reply -

I used the soap as well and the deer have left my hostas alone! I used a 50 cent cheese grater from Walmart. It's been 2-3 weeks since I placed the soap!Helpful Reply -
