Nice Review, and I absolutely agree with you. Not only did they not avoid it, it attracted skunks that love eating it :) Wishing you all the best! I have a whole box of Irish spring soap... set for life apparently. BTW, woodchucks also don't care if it's there or not.

Nice video! They didn't eat out of the PVC! I have Lilly plants which the deer love. I staked I.S. near the plants and saw that the deer ate the one farthest from the soap, but not the ones closer. I think it works! would love to see you put it on the ground too. Thanks!

I know I'm a little late to the party here, but l had problems with deer and rabbits eating my Lillies. I grated the soap with a cheese grater the sprinkled it directly on the flower and around the base. The first time was mid-summer and it did help a bit. The following year, I spread the soap early in the spring just as plants were emerging and that seems to have helped the process. My assumption is that if you spoil the spot for them early, they're less likely to come back later. I've got a juicy buffet of fat Lillies growing wild in a particularly vulnerable spot that have remained untouched. I just went and spread some more today (Mid June) for good measure, so we'll see how it goes. Hope this helps.....

I had an aggressive mommy with her fawn in my yard chasing my cat and snorting at me in a rural area. I put it around the house and along the fence line. It did work for me keeping deer out. If you have a farm with a feeder or salt block, the soap doesn't work. 🐀🐾

It isn't that deer have no sense of smell as they HATE the smell of peppermint. I also noticed that after you put the soap there, the deer did not eat out of the chicken feeder you have under the deck.

I agree. I didn’t see the deer eat out of it like before the soap. What I saw is sniffing around it and laying down by it. So I wouldn’t call the experiment a failure based on that limited footage.

Just an observation The deer was all up in it before the soap…. After the soap it didn’t put its mouth up in it at all, just in the ground around it. I’d say there’s some truth to the soap experiment from watching your video

@@pinemeadowshobbyfarmafruga8319 I once watched an adult squirrel climb up a pole supporting my husband’s “bird condo” apartments and the squirrel suddenly jumped off the pole halfway up the pole. Had two small pouches of soap draped across the top! Some say it doesn’t work. I say it does! But baby squirrels haven’t developed their sense of smell so they will climb the pole. Soap also brought a halt to squirrels running across the top of our privacy fence. If I see a younger squirrel running the fence, I call it names…”squirrel! Squirrel! All that said, garden fencing constructed around my raised beds of bell peppers, herbs, onions and marigolds have saved those plants from rabbits and squirrels. My husband had built three waist-high beds that we hope will help protect our fall veggies from deer. I’ve been propagating marigolds I’m hopes they will deter deer. Have read about other flowers that will do the same.

3D fence works, but deer are like the velociraptors in the movie Jurassic Park. They test the fence all the time to see if it's working. If an electric gate is left down, fence is shorted to ground, battery issue or the fence quits working for any reason the deer will be in your orchard in a heartbeat to munch on all the new growth.

I am going to paint small bird houses put a mesh door on them add additional holes that birds can’t get through but add additional venting for smell to come out! Take custom made tarp circles to put on the top of the bird houses and then put the Irish spring and sage inside the bird houses and wire tie them to my tall hedges and hope the smell repells the deer because 6 feet of bushes are eaten on 100 bushes

I honestly believe it wouldn’t work because it’s at their destination. Maybe if it was hung a few feet away where the wind can carry the scent they wouldn’t risk it as much. It’s the same concept as to when they figure out your deterrent isn’t a harm they will bypass it. That’s exactly what they did in this video. Realized the scent wasn’t any harm and ate just a few inches away.
