While there are a wide variety of these recipes available, the majority of them tend to utilize the same basic ingredients. The list of ingredients is likely to be found already in the home or a brief and inexpensive trip to the grocery store can secure all that is necessary. Almost every one of these recipes, while containing some different ingredients, all seem to use eggs as a base.

The majority of these people have found that by either common dish soap or a bar of deodorant soap to a few gallons of water and spraying the plants, that deer traffic is greatly reduced. The mixtures are created using soaps include the addition of cooking oil to aid in the aid in adhering to the plant leaves.

These combinations of ingredients are applied to the plants by using some type of spray equipment. This can come in the form of a recycled spray bottle from glass cleaner or other household product.

The pump sprayer also cuts down on issues of tiredness or the cramping of a hand while covering a large area. When using the mixture that requires that the eggshells be left in, this may be applied by simply sprinkling it out of the bucket or pail.
