Deer in the garden - how do you actually get rid of them? Here are concrete tips to ensure that the deer do not eat up your flowers, vegetables, and garden plants. Sticking to just one method in trying to deal with deer rarely works well enough, so we recommend a combination of several measures. Experiment and continue with what works best for your garden.

Methods to deal with deer in the garden,Old CD discs,Attaching old CD discs to a string and hanging them from, for example, trees is a method that can deter deer - the reflection scares them away.,,Blood meal,Blood meal is an organic fertilizer that provides nourishment and strength to plants for wintering, while also being unpopular among deer and hares. Two birds with one stone!,,Yellow is not cool - for deer,Whether there is scientific evidence that deer do not like the color yellow, we do not know, but the fact is that it seems as if they prefer to avoid yellow flowers and plants. So why not make sure to turn flower beds and plantings with beautiful, yellow flowers - maybe it works as a protective "wall" around the plants deer actually try to get to?,,Chicken wire,If you have the opportunity to cover parts of the ground on your property with chicken wire, this will make unwelcome guests think twice - they do not like to step on this type of netting.,,White pepper, "Pepper" around the flowers, trees, and bushes you want to protect from deer.,,Hair,If you have the opportunity to take some of your own hair and hang it up in, for example, a nylon stocking, this can prevent deer attacks.,,Garlic,Just like many of us humans, animals often find the smell of garlic unpleasant. Paint around your plants regularly.,,Foil,Common aluminum foil shaped into a rod or cone and stuck down around the plants can be deterrent.,,White card in the shape of a heart,Cut out a heart from a type of stiff white paper. This reminds the deer of its tail, which can function as a signal to other deer to stay away. Hang these at a height corresponding to the approximate height of a real deer tail.,,Trash bags on sticks,Similar to a scarecrow, a black trash bag on a stick in the ground looks scary to animals and may be enough to scare them away. The problem with this method is that it may not look so nice for us humans either. But if you can live with it, it is definitely a method to try out.,,The most boring deer tip of all - avoid tulips and roses,Even though it's not what we want to hear, it is an undeniable fact that deer like tulips and roses. If the four-legged animals in your area also love to nibble on tulips, and no scare tactics work, you may simply have to admit defeat and try other flowers in the bed instead. Sometimes nature wins, no matter how much we try to keep it in check!,Plants that deer are not so fond of,Unfortunately, there is no guarantee that the deer will not help themselves, no matter what plants you have in the garden. If they don't find the plants they like the most, they may take a bite out of almost anything. Nevertheless, there are plants they like less than others. The Natural History Museum at the University of Oslo, which among other things operates the Botanical Garden, has created lists of plants that deer do not like very much.
