Deer are most difficult of all pests to deter from a garden. They love many different plants. Flowers, vegetables, trees and shrubs are all on their menu.
The best way to keep deer out of a garden is by using a fence that is at least 6 feet high. If it's a small garden that may be feasible but for large gardens or yards, cost is prohibitive, or possibly not practical.
So only other choice is deterrents.
Deer don't like smell of raw eggs, fish products, kelp, or ammonia. Any spray made from these products can be used. Just mix product of choice in water and spray plants to be protected.
