Irish Spring soap repels mammal pests, such as mice, rabbit and deer. It does not repel insect pests. Irish Spring soap does not always eliminate pests completely , but can be a helpful tool to reduce the rate of attack on plants.

How to Deter Deer With Irish Spring Soap.

1. Drill a small hole near the top of each bar of soap. ...
2. String your rope through the drilled hole and tie it in a knot.
3. Hang the other end of the string from a branch or post near the deer's head and feeding height.
4. Cut the bars of soap into quarters or similar size pieces using a sharp knife.
We have left Irish Spring bars in our cabin. Next season we found big chunks of the bars were gone.
