Do you have a favorite? I know dish soap is often used for this purpose, but I don't think that would give me more than a week's worth of protection. I've read that some people use Wilt-pruf in their deer spray concoctions as a spreader/sticker. How well does it work?

Remember that these home made and commercial made deer/rabbit sprays MUST be reapplied every 4-6 weeks under dry conditions let alone after sprinkler or rain water so the type of sticker used is mute. I use dish soap when I remember and haven't had a problem of keeping those varmints away.

A great alternative to making your own deer spray is Terracycle's Deer Repellent. It's all natural and packaged in used soda bottles. It is member tested and recommended by the National Home Gardening Club! This is the closest I have found to homemade.

Here is a link that might be useful: Terracycle Deer Barrier
