insecticide as deer repellent?
 

i'm having a dual problem, deer and bugs eating my plants. i've used
deer repellent with some success, it claims to work by smelling bad
and tasting bad (to deer).

would a garden insecticide like sevin dust work in both roles, as a
deer and a bug repellent? surely it cannot taste or smell very good to
a deer.

any thoughs are appreciated
