My friend here in the Ozarks told me about this concoction that works for them. It is a combo of cayenne pepper, tobassco sauce, dried mustard. and hot sauce sprinkled in the flower beds. She said she has not had any problem since using that. Maybe google "deer deterrent home made remedies" It just might give you additional recipies that won't break the bank!

HA! Funny! - do you ever feel you are being spied on?? The ad on this page had shown deer deterrent! How much privacy do we have???????????I think NONE - it makes me wonder HOW they can advertise this on this particular thread, doesn't it?

Last week I was on a trip & 2 friends were discussing the problems they were having in VA with deer eating flowers. Neighbors of one didn't care for the flexible fencing she had draped around the shrubs & they both were frustrated with repellents washing off each time it rained. I googled & found that there's something called 'Deer Out' that doesn't wash off & is natural repellent. They were going to check into it.

We live out in the country and sometimes to save himself a trip back into the house if he is working outside, my hubby sometimes mind you, calls this 'marking spot'. If the deer see him I'm sure they are quickly averting their eyes.

Don't know if it works but---I was told to put human hair around the plants. It was suggested I ask my hairdresser to save hair for me..... object being...animals don't like human contact. I haven't had a problem since I started "feeding the turkeys" in the far corner of the yard.
