ANIMAL CONTROL RECIPE
Deer Repellent
A rotten-egg spray leans on deer's extremely sensitive sense of smell, signaling danger long before they get close enough to take a bite.
Prep: 10 min + 1 day steep
Yields: about 1 quart
Organic-friendly
Ingredients
2 eggs
1 cup water
1 tablespoon hot sauce
1 teaspoon mild liquid dish soap
Instructions
1
Blend the eggs, water, and hot sauce together until smooth.
2
Pour into a covered container and let sit for 24 hours to develop a strong odor.
3
Strain, then stir in the dish soap so the spray clings to leaves.
4
Spray on and around plants deer tend to browse, reapplying after rain or every 2 weeks.
Tip: Rotate this with a different repellent every few weeks — deer that browse regularly can eventually get used to a single scent.
