Default What will help keep the deer away?

Besides the obvious...what can be used to help keep the deer out of residential areas and away from plants and scrubs? Is there a chemical that will keep the deer out/away?

i think some of the commercial sprays are made of eggs-peppermint and stuff found in hot sauce. m ight be worth a try to mix up a batch but i dont know what it will do to all the different plants and shrubs.

I also heard that you can collect hair from local salons etc and spread around the plants you wish to protect and it's free.

I have a friend that seems to scare deer away no matter where he goes. Maybe he could hunt in your back yard...

I too have found my presense in the woods so intimidating that deer won't come near me , at least that's what I tell myself .

Liquid Fence. Found at most major hardware chains. Wear rubber gloves if you use it though. The stuff smells awful!

I head that you can buy lion or tiger urine from flower shops and that will keep all animals away!
