Scaramanga pulled up that old thread so I thought i would answer in a new thread so growers would be sure to see it.

Hey Scaramanga,

SUCCESS!!!!!!! THE DEER PROBLEM IS CONQUERED WITH 100% EFFECTIVNESS:

As some of you know, ive been working on a deer deterent by using local plants that animals dont eat to make a tea extract and then spraying it on my plants, in a hope of fooling the deer into believing he doesn't want to eat my pot plant. The problem i encountered was that many of these plants are poisonous and that's why they arent eaten. This was a big concern so i kept experimenting.

ONIONS. WILD ONIONS!!!. I made an extract of wild onions by putting a bunch in the blender with 3 tablespoons of neem oil, (a surfacant that helps adhere the scent to the plant w/ rain and such). I blend the ingedients, add 1 quart of water and spray. I have not had a plant touched by any animal. The scent of the wild onion concentrate formula seems much more potent than just plain old wild onions. I have a buddy that is adding 1/4 teaspoon of mentholatum to his mix instead of the neem oil and says it adds a putrid iintensity to the odor. This can be tailored to your deer if necessary.



I placed 3, 16" tender plants next to a deer path that leads to a deer lay. They wont touch them, as they stink of high heaven with onions.


I have a number of other deterents that are working very well that i will include in this thread after i get some pics, but if your planting now, mix up a good eye watering onion spray and get to work.

Finally.

Just a note:

I used my wifes blender for this concoction. I cleaned it well and placed it back under the sink. It took her 2 whole days to track down the odor and chew my ass.

I have tried everything to clean the odor of onions from the blender to no avail. I put both gasoline and alcohol in the blender and they just added thier scents to it.

The mixture is free and the results are good, but be prepared for an ass chewing and to buy her a new blender. Our old one is now in the grow shed.

hahahaha

you're killin me here SB

how well did you hide that thing???

GOod info on the onion spray by the way. Any idea if store bought onions should do the same thing as the wild ones?

I might be trying this out soon.......lots of deer around

[EXODUS_01]

In our country are many wild animals and last year I had with her a lot of problems. Great job!

I wonder if it will still deter Deer later in the season when it is drier and the native food is shriveling up? I find that desperate deer often ignore many offensive odors for a good meal when they get hungry enough.

That's really the question BC. Will they ignore the scent when they don't have anything much to eat. Cows will and do eat wild onions by accident at times because we had a dairy when i was young, and milk from a cow that had eaten wild onions had to be dumped as it wreeked of onions. Starving deer are determined
In normal years here, deer don't get that hungry but it hasnt been normal lately. Applications seem to last about 2 weeks.

Hey FT. Women are houndogs whenever "somethings stinks". I think storebought onions would work if you bought overripe or old onions, the kind with a shoot sticking out of the end. Store bought onions arent as strong in scent as wild onions but half rotten ones come close.

another material that has shown promise in repelling them is the scent and sap of red cedar trees that are abundant here. Deer don't eat any part of the tree. The cedars have a pine-tar type sap that breaks down in acohol and then can be mixed with water.

Hi mo and exodus. Shade tree scientist get no respect.

Nice work SB k+, gonna hafta go unyun huntin' now

[Gunnarguchi]

a very good solution on a large problem for guerrilla growers
back in mi high school days i had one successful grow in a forest
used the same spot next year and a few weeks before harvest deers ate every plant down the the stems a few centi meters above ground ( no home grown for that year) and i had to rely on en schrooms from the nearby fields but schrooms are good for some occasions and canna is better for others and more general suited

i also had deer ( or maybe rabbits?) chew up a few af my plants inside the corn fields last year but at least they have a hard time finding it there compared to in forests

do you spray the underside of the leafs too?
i would guess that the smell last longer that way

i look forward to see the progress if this treatment trough out the season

if it lasts as a deterrent late in season
how close to harvest they can be treated without leaving smell and taste in the weed and what ever you come a cross using this

[B.C.]

The wild onions around here are really jus garlic. You can smell it fer miles when the combines run through it in the fall. It's strong..... I wonder if plain ol garlic might work too? ...... Hey Silverback, have ya ever used that Deer repel stuff that places like Stark Brothers sell? ( Stark Brothers sell fruit trees, berries, etc...) BC
