Hi Soni welcome to the garden helper.
I don't know anything about pesky deer but someone should be here to help you out.
That is one problem I don't have thank goodness. I have the evil gopher and Burmuda grass.

I can't imagine a deer eating moth balls. YUCK!!!
Noticed you are from Montanta....that is a beautiful area. How long have you lived there? As a kid my father flew us over that state many times. Loved the vast amount of trees......so green.

Hi and welcome! I understand that a plant by the name of "Monkshood" is a deer deterrant - and is quite nice looking as well.
Note however that the (root area)I think is poisonous.
I have a few in my yard and they really are a lovely plant.
Good luck [Wink] to you!
