Someone on another post gave a homemade spray formula with hot sauce to keep deer and squirrels away. (Same idea works to keep squirrels out of bird feeders. Mix cayenne pepper powder in with your bird seed in feeders. Birds can't taste the heat but the heat keeps the squirrels from your feeders.) Looking for the post now to attach but the recipe was (best I can recall) found the post2 gallon garden sprayer full of water, mint oil, several TBS of ghost pepper sauce, (and I would probably add a couple tsps of dish soap to get it to stick,) then spray on plant leaves in late afternoon to deter deer and squirrels.

spez: Also, could purchase (a little expensive) dried coyote urine to sprinkle around your garden (or at least your expensive shrubs) to keep deer away.
