DEER:
Buy cheap bars of soap in cardboard boxes
(some insist on Irish Spring but any heavy perfumed soap will work)
Drill a hole through the center
Put a weather proof piece of twine through the hole and tie the bar of soap (still in the box) to your trees or shrubs.
You can also shred or grate soap into your flower beds however it will melt with watering so you'll have to keep up on it...

RABBITS:
1" poultry netting (chicken wire)
I use 36" long but you can use longer if needed.
I cut 18" x 36" pieces and wrap them around new saplings to prevent rabbits from eating the bark.
Once a sapling is 3-5 years old the rabbits don't seem interested.

RACCOON AND OPOSSUMS
In this video I talk about blending 12 raw eggs, 5 qts of water and garlic to repel deer and rabbits, you can also add clove oil to that. This can also work for raccoons and opossums as they hate the harsh smells, but keep in mind, its eggs so its sticky and messy and leaves a visible mark on houses, cars and trim, and it can wash off and become less effective over time.
In the case of Raccoons, the eggs are just a sticky agent for the garlic and cloves as raccoons like eggs so for raccoons, maybe omit the eggs if you need to spray on home. I have people tell me that the egg mixture worked for them to repel raccoons so you'll have to test it.
You could also try motion activated sprinklers if you're in an area that is not freezing... they really hate that and that leaves a great negative impression on them.
They also hate with a passion.....CLOVES so placing some clove oil where they visit may helpl
When we lived in California, I went to the $1 and bought cheap bottles of very hot, hot sauce and that kept them away too.
You can also try moth balls... another nasty smell to raccoons, opossums and rabbits.

You can buy a commercial version of repellant here if you don't want to make it yourself.
