My area has a lot deers. They constantly come to my yard for food. They ate my flowers, chewed the tree barks. Is there any efficient way to keep them away?

I know it may sound old fashioned, but a scarecrow is, in many cases, enough to get rid of deer. If that idea isn't too appealing, you can buy scare tape. Any bright colored tape will work. Just put it in random places around your yard. Change the location of the tape every couple of days to prevent the deer becoming accustomed to it. This should work, and is a very cheap way to solve the problem.
Hope these help you out!
The link to deer repellent looks like a better solution. Will investigate more to see if anything recommended there works. Stay tuned...
This link also describes how to order a guide to deer repellents from the USDA, and what home-grown remedies you might try: http://gardening.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?zi=1/XJ&sdn=gardening&cdn=homegarden&tm=9&gps=126_1224_1138_708&f=00&su=p284.8.150.ip_&tt=2&bt=1&bts=1&zu=http%3A//spokane-county.wsu.edu/spokane/eastside/Fact%2520Sheets/C063%2520Deer%2520Resistant%2520Plants.pdf.
Good luck!
