    Deer Problems & Solutions


    Deer Browsing can be difficult to prevent and a combination of control strategies will be necessary. Fencing is the most effective way to prevent deer browsing. The fence must be a minimum of 7’ and the more visible it is to the deer the better. Selecting plants that are considered deer resistant will help to make your garden less attractive to deer. Using deer repellents on a preventative basis can help. It may take some trial and error to find the most effective repellent for use in your garden. Alternate between repellents to prevent the deer from becoming accustomed to any one repellent. We carry a full line of repellents to choose from.

    As an example, recommended by our Customers and detailed in the Daily Record is a product we carry called Deer Out.


    We also carry Deer Scram, also highly recommended.
