A friends told me cat hair works- you can tell I'm desperate. I have two large Ragdolls and every day I get a grocery sack full of hair when I use my new Zoom Groom on them. I tucked some fur into the day lillies in hope deer won't eat the blooms and buds. Will it work? I tried human hair from a barber shop without success.
None of those things truly work. I even bought coyote urine. Works until it rains or wears off. I tried all of those things: soap, tin pans, urine, hair, deer repellent in a bottle, planting mums and herbs around my plants I don't want them to eat, etc. I now buy poisonous plants or deer resistant plants (which help), i.e., Daphne, anise, hollies, peonies, wax myrtle, etc. The scarecrow device works also.
Although I didn't try it, someone told me that hanging CDs with string so that they can freely twist in the breeze is a repellent.
The hardest part about repelling deer is breaking their habitual route. They find and create a specific "path", and if your house is on their path, they'll keep coming back. Our yard was part of the habitual path the herd took every night from the woods to a farmer's field about a 1/2 mile away. In our case we didn't care if they came through because we really had nothing they could destroy. But if we wanted them to go elsewhere, we would have started the "deterring" up in the back corner of our property to force them to create a different habitual path.
okay my grandmother used to hang deodorant soap from a string on a plant branch . she swore by this method and all I can tell you is that she had a ton of deer on her property and always had beautifull plants so take that for what it is . good luck I know they can be a problelm .

LOL, well this could make interesting garden art if you stick sequins in it. And after it rains your garden will smell as fresh as an Irish Spring! (Hey if it works they should try to market this use. I can see the commercials: Manly, yes--but deer like it too!)
