Keep Deer
Out Of Your
Yard With This
Two-Ingredient Homemade Spray
By KELLY CATLIN
If you want to keep deer out of your yard, a two-ingredient homemade spray made from mint and garlic might just be the solution you need.
To create the spray, blend garlic and mint in a blender or food processor until you get a smooth mixture. Then, pour it into a pot, dilute it with water, and bring it to a boil.
Allow it to cool, then let it sit overnight. The next day, strain and pour the liquid into a spray bottle, and apply it throughout your garden.
This spray works because deer find the scent of garlic and mint unappealing. Mint's aroma also makes
it hard for them to smell anything else, keeping them away from your garden.
