One of the biggest problems that rural gardeners face is the intrusion of woodland creatures, particularly deer, getting into the garden and effectively destroying it. Along with eating the plants, deer are not known for their care when stepping through the rows and end up trampling many of the plants into oblivion. Many gardeners will choose to use a homemade deer repellent recipe to help eliminate this issue.
The schools of thought regarding these recipes are very wide ranging, but the majority contains the same basic ingredients. The ingredients are items that may be found already in the home or a quick trip to the grocery store can secure everything needed to create your own. Without fail and no matter any of the other ingredients in one of these recipes, each one starts out with eggs.
The eggs in the mixture act as an adhesive, to keep the mixture on the plants for a period of time. The eggs will also help the mixture withstand some light weather conditions and the occasional spray from a garden hose. The entire egg is not wasted as many of the recipes will call for use of the shells along with the contents.
Since deer react to taste and smell when it comes to a repellent, many people will add ingredients along the lines of cayenne pepper, onion or Tabasco sauce into their repellent mixture. When gearing the mixture towards assaulting the sensitive nose of a deer, garlic may also be added.This will give it an even more offensive odor.
Household soap products may also be used to make an effective deer deterrent mixture. Ordinary dish soap, when mixed with water, then sprayed on the plants will create a lasting memory in a deer's mind after taking just one bite. Deodorant soap, on the other hand, is a very effective tool in that the odor that it emits immediately sends deer off in another direction.
Any of the all liquid mixtures can be applied to the plants by sprinkling or by spraying them directly on the leaves. A household trigger spray, such as the type that glass cleaner comes in, can be used as great effectiveness on treating individual plants. For those with a large area to cover, a pump sprayer can be used to cover the area much quicker.
The pump sprayer also cuts down on issues of tiredness or the cramping of a hand while covering a large area. When using the mixture that requires that the eggshells be left in, this may be applied by simply sprinkling it out of the bucket or pail. Both of these methods can be quite effective in ensuring that all of the plants get the proper coverage that they need.
A deer repellent mixture will only work if it has the rigth ingredients in it. All of these methods are eco-freindly and will not harm the deer or the plants in any way. The deer many give you a dirty look, but that is only because you ruined what was once considered an all you can eat buffet. - 24553
