How to Make Dear Repellent

Deer are cute animals, but they can also be very destructive to your lawns and landscaping. They will eat any fruits or leaves that they can reach, tearing up and ruining your flowers and shrubs. In order to keep them away, you can make your own home made deer repellent that is blended from common household ingredients and will not harm the environment. Your homemade repellent will keep the deer from entering your yard and destroying your garden.
