After using the deer repellant that has dried blood in it, I bought several bags of blood meal and sprinkled it around plants that I wanted to keep deer away from. Then I cut up old onions and mushy garlic pieces and sprinkled those around other plants. Both methods have worked well and they are good for both the soil and plants.

I’ve heard of using Irish Spring soap placed around the garden in packets made from pantyhose. You can also use pantyhose to hold other repellants. It refreshes every time it rains since the pantyhose packets are porpoise and stronger than gauze or cheesecloth.

I've found that putting a couple of barberry trimmings on the leaves of hostas will keep deer away and it will last all season long and even into the next season if the trimming are moved up on top of the leaves as the plant grows. I'm sure it would work well for other plants as well.

Rabbits have terrorized my lawn. I put little bags of Irish Spring, plus shavings, all around my yard. Rabbits still happily invade eating all my grass, including all the fresh new grass coming up from my overseeding. So sad seeing all the hard work go down the drain! If you come up with any more ideas that might work, please do post.

Instead of the soap idea, you might want to bag up some dried blood or even some moth balls..Rabbits for sure do not like the blood smell they usually stay far away..As far as deer are concerned, leaving soiled mens t shirts hang outside will keep them away.

Hi Tikki! Curious, is the deer wearing a tracking device? Maybe it's just fashionable and into bling? That really stinks. Have your taste buds ready for fresh corn and it's gone. 😭 Hope you have more success this season.

Hi Marty, this deer visits everyone around the neighborhood, very friendly and somehow got separated from her family. I don't know which neighbor gave her the necklace, it has a heart charm on it. She just walks up to people...I can't wait for the corn this year, we have done all we can to protect our garden!

@TikkiOOO4 жыл бұрын
Hi Jay, I think its keeping the squirrels out too. They are more interested in gathering nuts from the surrounding trees, and they love to eat the spilled birdseed from the feeder. They don't pay much attention to the garden, maybe they don't like all the smells coming from there. So far, so good. Thanks for the comment, and good luck!

I don’t have this “problem” where I live but the sight of any of those animals close to my window or back yard would make my heart melt. It would be so rare if that ever happened over here; I have a question. What would happen if you made a batch of plants and vegetables just for those animals (for each year) and still make and keep your own vegetables garden and still use the soap technique to keep them away from your own crops? Would it be costly or would it become a bigger problem? *sorry if I sound ignorant but I have never encountered something like this in my life*
