Needless to say, there seems to a boom in the deer population in the county. With winter approaching and the probability of snow covering on the ground, deer will be forced to browse evergreen trees and shrubs, many times, those shrubs around your house. Deer have become less excited with the human population, with lawns being a prime grazing area for the whitetail critters.
Deer are crazy about many flowering plants.
For instance, tulip and hosta are both targets for the deer population. Even roses, with the thorns, are not exempt from deer. Several strategies for repelling the deer have been developed, from deer repellants to mechanically protecting the plants. Some of the strategies may be more effective than others. Deer repellents are available on the market.
