I made a deer repellent from an online recipe using and garlic and eggs that I spray on the agaves from time to time. So far they've left them alone. So we shall see if the repellent continues to repel them.<br /><br />RagnaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6808857981868159973.post-72996935166374567382013-02-22T10:07:09.645-06:002013-02-22T10:07:09.645-06:00I feel your pain.
