adminThe deer repellents that work best have been proven time and again to be the ones that contain putrescent egg or putrescent egg solid. Eggs can be mixed with water, for the simplest solution, and simply sprayed on any garden greenery that has been fed on by a voracious deer, the effective mixture will be an immediate yet humane solution for repelling deer from one’s treasured plants.
Vegetable oils can be added to help the mixture cling to the leaves, and spices like cinnamon and chili powder can leave more unpleasant tastes. These very effective mixtures can be used alone or with a number of other proven deer deterrents, such as fences, walls, motion-detecting sprinklers that will spray the deer, flowers with bitter tastes and fuzzy leaves, and hedges and trees with prickly leaves, such as holly. Of course, if used in conjunction with the sprinkler system method, the mixture must be reapplied once washed off. Deer rely on their keen instincts, especially their fearful nature, to survive. Any sort of scare tactic will be a good way to deter a hungry dear. There are some theories that suggest that the scent of a rotten egg actually makes a deer become fearful, either because they are fearful that they will become sick from eating it, or fearful that the odor is coming from leftovers from a predator kill.
Whatever the reason is, the sprays and solutions that contain rotten egg or putrescent egg solid have been consistently proven to be the deer repellents that work best. The deer repellents that that are applied regularly, thoroughly, and often, especially at the start of a pesky deer invasion, will always be the most effective, and so it is extremely important to maintain a rigorous schedule for the repellent to do its work most effectively. Once the spraying schedule has been started, the deterring power of the repellent will only be effective as long as it is not washed off of the plants, so any mixture, whether homemade or store bought, must be regularly applied after rain, sprinkling, new grown, or time. Eventually, the nuisance deer will become accustomed to looking in different places for their food, and will no longer frequent an eggy smelling garden. Deer repellents with egg ingredients will also repel hungry nibblers like rabbits, and even raccoons, who will frequently go after vegetable and fruit gardens with tomatoes, cherries, apples and the like. In this way, this method is even more effective than a fence, which a raccoon can easily climb over and a rabbit can dig under.
It is important to note that when fruits and vegetables that are meant for human consumption are sprayed with any deer repellent or pesticide, special care should be taken to thoroughly wash them before serving them as food. It is widely known among homeowners and gardeners, especially those that live in areas that have a lot of hungry wildlife that any sort of repellent containing eggs are the deer repellents that work best.
