Have you ever try "scarecrow sprinkler"
This stuff is the humane way to keep deer from disturbing your yard and garden without the use of complicated traps or potentially hazardous chemicals.
When the Scarecrow detects deer it instantly releases a short but startling burst of water. The sudden spray of water and the movement and noise of the sprinkler scares animals away.
You can visit http://scarecrowsprinkler.blogspot.com/ for more information such as video show how it work, reviews, tips and lowest price source.

Yes you can use Milorganite on anything, it has been treated to make it safe to use.

Can you use Milorganite on vegetable pants since it is made from human waste?

I now use Milorganite. It is a fertilizer made from human waste, will not burn your plants and does not have to be watered in. It is cheap and much easier to use and the deer stay away. I only use it twice each season since it is a slow release product. I put it around the perimeter of my beds in early spring and again in late fall.
I get mine at Home Depot.
