Is cinnamon effective at keeping deer away?
Two repellents that are equally effective and distinctively scented are Mint Scent and Spice Scent. Both repellents repel deer because they contain eggs and garlic. You can increase repellency by adding botanical oils made from plants. Deer won’t eat clove, peppermint, lemongrass, and cinnamon. These natural oils not only make repellents smell better but also prolong their effectiveness.
There are two essential oils in the Mint Scent Deer Repellent: peppermint and lemongrass, both of which are effective deer repellents. Botanical oils can also repel many insects so you are helping to control pest infestations.
Gardeners adore the Spice Scent Deer Repellent, which has a delicious cinnamon-clove scent. It protects against deer damage all year. Like the Mint Scent repellent clove and cinnamon oils also have repelling and insecticidal properties. Cinnamon oil has anti-fungal qualities.

It doesn’t matter what repellent you choose; it is important to know that these products are free of poisons, toxic chemicals, and glues. These repellents can be used safely around pets and children if they are applied as directed. They are also completely biodegradable, and therefore more environmentally friendly.
The presence of deer should be avoided
If there is more than one deer on your property, they can cause serious damage to your yard and garden. Deer can eat the leaves of your plants. This will reduce the growth of your greenery. It is the first and most obvious damage. This includes shrubs, bushes, and low-hanging tree branches.
You should keep deer away from areas that are not familiar with deer behavior. Bucks will often scratch their antlers against tree trunks or other hard surfaces. This can cause damage to trees and other hard surfaces in your yard. It could also negatively impact other wooden structures such as columns or posts in your garden.
