I can't findem' at the moment. It's a sprinkler head. Battery operated like a deer cam. Picks up heat not movement. It sprays the deer with water.
then there is those ultrasonic sound things. go to ebay and search deer blaster.

we hang up old panty hose with irish spring soap in it, or old cut up t-shirts with the most horrendous cheap cologne you can find. the shirts you have to re-scent in a week or so, but the soap thing works good....
however, we're currently using an electric fence.... no deer in our peas or corn. but the neighborhood rambler did get himself tangled up in it the other night....what a racket!!
There is a marketed deer repellent. It's a ribbon you put around the perimeter and then spray it with some liquid. Can't remember the name though. FB might remember.

We have a little system that seems to work- we alternate cheap aftershave and my 17 year old son's urine-
works so far-

Blood powder will work for a while, noise makers Or lights that go off at random time will work for a while, Urinating around your garden every night works longer than anything. My granddad used to make us go pee near the garden every night before we went to bed. Changing the scent helps keep them a way. I believe that being a meat eater helps.
Best thing though, tie your dog near rhe garden, that'll really keep 'em away, if they know an actual predator is in residence.

We use the white wal mart bag or any type of white material.. Hang them on a string all around the garden kinda like a fence.. We dont have any trouble and it always works

I know a lady who swears by the hair trick from the hairstylists until it rains.
My uncle even imported some lion's urine from Africa. Didn't work. I figure those George County deer didn't know what a lion was.
Uncle even had some kinda charges going off to keep deer out of his soybeans. The deer could time them and all they bothered was us and another uncle who vacationed there.
My daddy would go headlight them (illegal) . Once in a blue moon. I would not recommend that since fees are high and they can take everything involved. That was back in 60's.
I have seen those Wal-Mart bags and those people swear by it.
I saw a garden that had fence( that square kind of fence and chicken wire allover the top to even keep the bunnies out.??????????/
Those people got all the vegetables.

You know, you could just buy a bunch of bagels (not me) and scatter them around the perimeter after spreading molasses on them. Deer would get full and go lay down and belch, probably wouldn't be back for at least 48 hours.
