Death from Lyme Disease has rarely been reported. Deer are a successful species because of their adaptability to most environments. They efficiently forage over a narrow home range with a diet consisting of trees, flowers, bulbs, shrubs, seedlings, vegetables, and fruits. They are most destructive during fall and spring. Such feedings can dissolute crops, landscapes and yards.
Deer are a continuing problem year round.
Deer usually stay in their home range and only relocate if they are threatened by a natural predator or by the deprecation of its food sources. This is why predator scents and the application of repellents over food sources are successful. Use netting to cover shrubs and plants near the house. Use wrapping to protect tree trunks. Use electronic warning devices with sound or light deterrents.
