Judy G. mentioned Milorganite. The University of Georgia Extension conducted a study on the use of Milorganite, which is sold as a fertilizer, as a deer repellent. Conclusions included: ". MilorganiteR has potential as a deer repellent for ornamental plants. Though the repellent did not eliminate deer damage, it reduced the overall impact. The effectiveness of a repellent is highly dependent on climatic conditions, deer density, and resource availability. High deer densities and low resource availability may reduce the efficacy of MilorganiteR as a repellent. Reduction of plant damage may further be improved if MilorganiteR is reapplied when deer damage is initially observed."
