We have been using a product called Repels-All for several years to
great success. It is available in a one gallon concentrate that makes
up to 8 gallons. After having read a "Study of the Effectiveness of
Deer Repellents on the Eating Habits of White-tailed Deer" at
http://www.amnh.org/learn-teach/young-naturalist-awards/winning-essays2/2013-winning-essays/a-study-of-the-effectiveness-of-deer-repellents-on-the-eating-habits-of-white-tailed-deer/
I noticed that the ingredients of Repels-All were the most effective at
deterring deer. It contains garlic, dried blood, whole egg solids,
clove, fish oil, onion, wintergreen, with dried blood and whole egg
solids (rotten eggs) being the better of the deterrents. The granular
packages of Repels-All have worked great for use in our sugar cube
melons keeping the coons away!!

Anyone ever tried or have any idea if Surround (kaolin clay) repels
deer or makes little apple trees less desirable to feed upon?
