A fence
better be a high one too or all you’re gonna do is catch deer LOL

this ^^^^^

it needs to be a complete fence with a fence wire completely covering over it so they cant jump the fence, because they will if its not 10ft high

short of that, all you can do is make a roux and snipe them with a 22 at night and tell no one, not even a family member, about what you are doing

something you can try would be a motion sensor hooked to flood lights and a very loud car horn. even if it doesnt scare the deer away, it wakes you up to run out there and chase the deer off. but be prepared to lose a lot of sleep and piss the wife off if you do it.

Would motion activated sprinklers work? or would they just get used to the bath?

I use the 3D electric fence ( 2 electric fences 3 ft apart). It works well.

I have had really good results with the deer and rabbit repellant that Lowes carries.

My father in law has had good luck just using a bird netting material at about 6’ tall held up by metal poles driven into the ground. It’s a good size garden. He takes it down every fall.

Ive a 2 strand elect fence. Wire height att 8 inches(rabbits) and 36 inches (deer). Horse sized shock box. One time hitting it. Wont bother garden.

I’ve heard about farmers spreading dried human waste. Not sure if you could consume veggies where it was used though

Go to a barbershop and get some hair, spread around the perimeter of garden.

Instead of an alarm couldn't he just use some of those motion sensor Halloween decorations that jump up and make a noise when triggered? Depending on distance from garden to bedrooms, may not disturb anyone's sleep; just have to be prepared for the neighborhood kids to have some fun.
