Are you tired of deer munching on your newly planted garden? Whether it's delicate shoots or fresh growth, these unwelcome visitors can wreak havoc on your carefully tended plants. But fear not, there's a simple and effective solution: homemade deer repellent.

We recommend spraying the following homemade deer repellent for at least 3 weeks on newly planted items every three days. If it rains or if you water, you must spray again. Also, in the spring, spray new growth to keep deer from eating the delicate new growth. 

Ingredients:

• 2 eggs
• Garlic cloves
• Water (1 gallon)
• Dish soap

Instructions:

1. Crack the eggs and add them to a blender.
2. Peel and add several cloves of garlic to the blender.
3. Blend the mixture until smooth.
4. Transfer the mixture to a bucket.
5. Pour in one gallon of water.
6. Add a small amount of dish soap to the mixture.
7. Allow the mixture to sit in the sun for 24-48 hours.

1. Once the mixture is ready, pour it into a pump sprayer.
2. Spray the solution onto your plants, focusing on newly planted ones or areas with fresh growth.
3. Repeat the spraying process every three days, especially after rainfall.
4. In the spring, make sure to target new growth to deter young deer from developing a taste for your plants.

The pungent odor of garlic and eggs combined with the soapy water creates a repellent scent that deer find unappealing. While harmless to plants and humans, it effectively deters deer from grazing on your garden.

• Store the leftover mixture in a sealed container away from direct sunlight.
• Be cautious when handling the mixture, as it can be quite smelly.
• Consider applying the repellent early in the morning or late in the evening when deer are most active.

By following these simple steps, you can protect your garden from deer damage and enjoy a flourishing landscape all season long. Say goodbye to unwanted nibbling and hello to a thriving garden!
