In essence, it's what makes hot peppers hot.
The homemade version, which also works for quite a number of bugs, is smash an entire bulb of garlic, and a few hot peppers (chili, habenero - whatever you've got that's HOT), and let them sit in a quart of water for three days.
Strain, put in a spray bottle, add a couple drops of liquid dish soap (this helps it to stick to the leaves), and spray the plants that are being eaten. You need to re-apply it after a rain.Do you have a homemade recipe for deer and rabbit repellent?
WE HAVE A TERRIBLE DEER CHEWING PROBLEM IN OUR GARDEN. WHAT WE HAVE FOUND THAT WORKS IS A HOMEMADE BREW THAT WE SPRAY ON THE GREENERY.
1 C WATER
1 CP MILK
2 EGGS BEATEN
2 TBS LIQUID DISHSOAP
SHAKE THE BOTTLE EACH TIME AND SPRAY DOWNWIND OF YOURSELF......IT'S STINKY.

Do you have a homemade recipe for deer and rabbit repellent?
Yeah. A shotgun and rifle. Duh. You shoot them, and you eat them. Much easier. Also, if you are the non-violent type, try and find coyote/wolf recordings and set up a couple of speakers around your house. Have them go off every time a certain perimeter is breached.
yeh its called a shotgun.
pee around the yard alot,hang empty tin cans together on a string so when there is a breeze it will make sound's and put a rotten egg in a gallon of water to spray on whatever
I have always heard that hair works well. If you know a dog groomer or hairdresser, have them save some for you to spread around your plants.
Hair socks: Old sock filled with your hair, dog or cat hair, vacuum cleaner lint, dryer lint, dryer sheets. Any of all in any combination will work. Hang them around your garden.
You can also collect your urine in a coffee can or some container and sprinkle it around your garden. Hey, worked for me and the 40' x 60' vegie garden -- used both, no unwanted critters! Happy growing.
Deer do not like the scent of soap, or human hair. You can put a bar of soap in an old stocking and hang it up around your yard or near you garden. Or go to a barber shop/hair salon and ask for some of the hair they have cut from people, usually they will give it to you. Just tell them what it is for, I'm sure they have had other people ask for it before, most of them have anyways.
i have an elderly friend who grows an amazing garden. she is in a rural setting with herds of deer around. when i was there, i commented to her about how the deer were really eating up our garden. she pointed to her neighbor's gardens and said the deer were eating theirs up too, but not hers. she then showed me the plain white cotton string that she had strung around her garden about knee high. she said that the string was what kept the deer out. she giggled that her neighbor's thought she was goofy for putting up the string and not an electric fence like the one neighbor had. his garden was really eaten...but hers was untouched! who's goofy now? she wanted to know! we have tried the human and dog hair, and it did not work. but the string did!
about the rabbits? i'm not sure...maybe a chicken wire fence? if you have burrowing rabbits in your area, that might not work so well, unless you bury the fence at least 2' underground. i know that rabbits will come out to feed early morning and just before dark...if your willing...a .22 might be the best way. or perhaps a live-trap? we have 2 garden friendly dogs, that must be doing their job as we have not had any rabbit problems in our garden. good dogs!
Human urine.
no.. but i dun see why u wan to deter rabbits or deer for tat matter they are such wonderful animals
