What does deer damage look like? (and how can deer proofing help?)

Deer damage to your landscaping can occur year-round. Often once you start seeing damage, it's already too late, but an integrated deer pest control plan will protect what's left of your plants in order for them to regenerate more quickly, and in the process prevent future damage.

Our team took these photos around a lawn that didn't get ahead of the problem, with already extensive extensive deer damage.

Notice the height and ragged edges. Also, in some of the photos you will notice deer droppings near the plant. These are some of the signs of deer damage that you should look for on your lawn and around your property where you have plants of the sort deer like to eat.

SEEING SIGNS ON YOUR PROPERTY OF DEER DAMAGE?

Deer are extremely habitual. Once they find a source of food, they will return until they eaten all of your plants, making it important to get ahead of the issue. After an initial, free property analysis, our company will send a team to do natural deer proofing sprays to nip the problem in the bud before that first time, or break the cycle if they're already a problem.
