Deer Repellent Spray

Ingredients:

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 1/2 to 2 tsp ground cayenne pepper
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 gallon water (2 cups separate)

Preparation:

  1. Blend first three ingredients with two cups water for 1 minute.
  2. Let sit for a while, then re-blend at least twice.
  3. Strain through a fine mesh strainer into a 1 gallon container (this is important to prevent spray nozzle clogging).
  4. Top off with water to make 1 gallon.
  5. Let sit for several days, preferably in the sun. (Sometimes takes up to 2 weeks to get really stinky!)

When Ready to Use:

  • Shake well.
  • Using a tank-type sprayer, lightly spritz plants, shrubs, or evergreens.
  • Occasionally shake sprayer to keep particles suspended.
  • Freshly-sprayed repellant will smell a little wicked at first. It will dissipate to us, but not to the deer.
  • Do not use directly on edible plants.
  • Reapply after heavy rain.
