Deer Control

Deer will forage and graze on nearly anything, including the plants in your landscape, and may even sip water from your pond, bird bath or kiddie pool. Not only will they feed on plants, trees and shrubs and garden crops, they can also damage lawns and gardens by kicking plants and compacting the soil they stand on.

There are a variety of methods for deer control, and Wonderland Tree Care + Landscapes employs those that are best suited to properties on the North Shore.

Our most effective deer control methods include:

• Deer fencing to prevent them from strolling onto your property
• Winter spray application of a long-lasting repellent with an active ingredient that makes plants taste bad to deer while providing water-loss protection and reducing chances of winter burn
• A spray application in spring and summer designed to offer four to six weeks of protection from deer in warm weather while also helping plants hold moisture—this is especially handy during periods of drought
• Year-round application of granular, non-toxic, environmentally friendly repellents that trigger a strong, fear-based response in deer by emitting an odor they associate with death. This slow-release smell deterrent is inoffensive to the homeowner and protects both mature plants and new growth up to 90 days

While the brush with nature of seeing deer in your yard can be pleasant the first time, rest assured, they will come back. Preventing deer from reentering will go a long way in preserving the beauty of the outdoor space you’ve created, making it a place you can enjoy for seasons and years to come.
