First and foremost, I have to apologize, but this article will not be as long and filled with information as normal posts tend to be. Why? Because I’m working with deer repellent from my own homemade recipes. The summer of 2013 was the worst ever for deer. This caused me a lot of headaches and money, but I managed to formulate three homemade deer repellent recipes, which I was fortunate enough to test in my own garden and supply my family for the entire year. These recipes work well and I suggest you try them out. When it comes to deer repellents, there are many different options as well as brands to pick from. In this article, I will go over some of the best deer repellents that are homemade, in a sense.The plant materials included in homemade deer repellents are usually chosen for their unpleasant odor to humans as well as to deer. Some of these ingredients include garlic, hot peppers, or citrus. You can also try mixing the essential oils from citronella and peppermint with some water in a small spray bottle. If your garden is small, you can even consider planting marigolds in it to repel deer.

Best Homemade Deer Repellent

Introduction

If you’ve ever had deer devour your entire garden or plants in your yard, you know how frustrating it can be to grow and maintain them. In addition to being frustrating, it can also be expensive if you have to replant. Deer repellent helps keep deer away from the areas you don’t want them to go. You can buy deer repellent online or at a gardening store, but it is easy to make too! There are many recipes on the internet for making homemade deer repellent, but we think ours is the best. Our recipe will help keep the deer away from any area of your yard that you don’t want them going.

Ingredients

• Mix all the ingredients in a spray bottle.
• Shake well before each use, spraying the mixture on doors, windowsills and other areas that you would like to keep deer out of your yard.

Instructions

• Mix all ingredients together in a large bucket.
• Apply mixture to the surface of soil and plants that you want to repel deer from (including mulch, flower beds, lawns, trees and shrubs).
• Apply every 2 to 3 weeks for optimal results.
• Apply at dusk or early morning when deer are most active but before they have access to your garden area (dusk allows the repellent to dry before they have access). Reapply after rain or watering your garden/plants if you do not want to wait until the next scheduled application date!
• Wear gloves when applying this product, as it may harm some plants if applied directly on top of them! Avoid applying directly on plants that are currently in bloom or about ready to bloom (such as tulips), as certain types might be affected by this homemade deer repellent recipe’s ingredients

Step 1

Washing your hands thoroughly before beginning to make deer repellent will help ensure you don’t accidentally get the solution on your skin. Use gloves if you have them, but even an apron or face mask can help prevent accidental contact with the solution. Goggles, safety glasses and other protective equipment may also be useful depending on how much time you’ll spend working in the yard or garden.

Step 2

Add vinegar to the mixture.

Add water to the mixture.

Mix in the water and vinegar until ingredients are fully combined, ensuring that all of your plants have been sprayed with repellant.

Step 3

So you’ve got the ingredients, but what do you do with them? Here’s how to use them:

• Mix the ingredients together in a large bucket. Make sure that all of the ingredients are well-mixed.
• Let the mixture sit for 24 hours, stirring occasionally. This allows time for chemical reactions to occur and also helps prevent clumping in your spray bottle later on.
• Spray your deer repellent directly onto plants, ground areas around plants (like flower beds), fences or tree trunks you don’t want deer to browse on — anywhere that deer tend to get into trouble!

Step 4

Once you have your mixture, it is time to apply it. The best way to do this is by spraying the mixture on the plants and around them. You will want to make sure that you spray all of the leaves of each plant and that you spray the ground as well.

Step 5

• Put the ingredients in a spray bottle.
• Shake well before each use to mix the ingredients together.
• Spray on plants and lawn, being careful not to get any on yourself or pets.
