What Is the Best Deer Repellent?
Deer are majorly browsers (of sticks and leaves), but will graze some other time. Deer feeding habit vary with the time of the year, deer pressure and availability of food. Deer have preferences but would go for just anything during extreme temperatures, high water or drought. When they graze, young plants and shoots tend to suffer the most because they are not fully capable of digesting certain grasses and shrubs.
The question that tends to linger on the minds of gardeners and farmers, especially those in regions of deer pressure, would always be “what is the best deer repellent I can find out there?”
In this article, I would briefly run you run various techniques that have successfully repelled deer from gardens and farms where others have failed to do so.
- Employ the use of pellet style repellents: these are products in form of pallets that help to keep out deer by giving off scents that are unattractive to deer. Although this has proven to be cheaper than most other scent repellents, it requires more hands-on effort because it has to be distributed on a frequent and continual basis until Bambi does not return to your premises anymore.
- Install Physical Barriers: The best way to ensure deer do not attack and damage your crops and vegetables is to barricade your plants from their reach and view, if feasible. These barricades may include but are not limited to fences and coverings such as floating row cover, plastic netting, and chicken wire. Certain coverings may not be effective for some plants and land area, therefore erecting a fence becomes the best option in keeping those herbivores out.
To successfully repel deer from your premises using a fence, keep it in mind to make sure the fence introduces a sort of challenge to them. If the fence isn’t high enough and can easily be jumped, Bambi might never go away but when you introduce a barrier on the fence (such as slanting the top of the fence at an angle away from your plants) or make it high enough, they tend to give up in no time.
