There are a few techniques that can be used to protect your property from deer. A combination of landscaping with deer-resistant plants, frightening and hazing techniques and deer repellants can reduce deer damage to your yard and property.
However, adequate fencing is the most certain method to preventing damage from deer in your yard. Talk to your landscape professional or visit a local nursery to find out more about repellants and deer-resistant plants for your area.
Tips
- NO welcome mats – make your yard feel unsafe for deer. Clear brush away from the perimeter to reduce ‘cover’ and discourage bedding down areas.
- NO loitering – discourage deer from hanging around on your property. Make them feel vulnerable so they move on. Try a loud shaker can.
