Deer and Wildlife Deterrence

Deer and wildlife deterrence involves implementing strategies to protect plants and gardens from being damaged by animals such as deer, rabbits, and rodents. This maintenance practice can include physical barriers like fencing, netting, and tree guards, as well as the use of repellents, motion-activated sprinklers, and noise devices to discourage animals from entering the landscape. Planting deer-resistant species or using companion planting techniques can also help minimize damage. Regular monitoring of the landscape for signs of animal activity and adjusting deterrence methods as needed is important for maintaining the health and appearance of the garden. Effective deer and wildlife deterrence helps prevent the loss of plants, reduces the need for costly replacements, and ensures that the landscape remains beautiful and thriving.
