Coyotes are one reason we don't let the cats out, there's also traffic. We don't have a lot of traffic in our neighborhood, but I've picked enough dead cats out of the street, that I can't bear to do it anymore. And deer - they're just thick here. They ate my newly planted day lillies and impatiens out of the front yard.

I found a recipe to spray them with that seems to work:

2 eggs
2 cups skim milk
2 cups water
2 tsp. spreader sticker (from the garden store)
Mix the stuff together, strain it, and put it in a spray bottle. It really seemed to repel the deer. But you can't keep leftovers - ugh.

Well, I tried most everything else to repel the deer, so your receipe is being copied.

The thing that's worked adequately well has been sprinkling the caladium leaves with cayenne pepper, but that make everything look like eff'n's face...maybe science will come up with something over the winter.

My neighbors have a Bull Mastiff yard dog.
We don't have a coyote problem...... or a door to door salesman problem.

He plays with babies in diapers, and is terrified of my Pekingese, but has a very good understanding of who 'belongs'
