Deer Repellent

This will not hurt the deer. The deer will shy away from the scent of other animals, so you trick them with the bloodmeal and hair clippings. Your barber is a good source for some hair sweepings.

1 yard old sheeting, cotton, or muslin
1/4 cup bloodmeal
1 cup hair clippings

Cut the fabric into small 4-inch squares. Mix the bloodmeal and hair together and place about a tablespoon onto the center of each square. Bring up the ends and secure with a string or rubber band.

To use, hang these little packets from the branches of the trees and shrubs where deer are a problem. You should be able to notice deer avoiding the spot almost immediately.
