As the human population has moved into wooded areas, problems with the native deer eating your garden are becoming more and more prevalent. If you are an animal lover who is striving to have a garden and live harmoniously with nature, do not despair. The most effective methods are described below. The most effective means of managing a deer problem is to use plants deer dislike. While it may seem like deer will eat just about anything, this really isn t true.
Deer have strong likes and dislikes.
They also seem to know which plants are poisonous to them. Unfortunately, many of the plants deer like to eat have become some of the most common landscape plants. However, there are dozens of readily available plants that deer will almost never eat, many of which are more beautiful and interesting than the more widely used staples deer find to be so tasty. If you have some mature plants that are all of the sudden being devoured by deer, or if you long for one or two specimens of a plant deer think of as candy, deer deterrents are possibly just what you need. While they may not be practical to use on every plant in your garden, they are very effective and relatively easy to use on a few select specimens.
