When you’ve worked so hard to own your home, you want to keep it beautiful.  You may have a well-manicured yard or a fruitful garden that produces food for your family throughout the year, but if all of your hard work is getting destroyed by deer, you’ll only see stress when you look at your beautiful property.

If you can relate to any of the following situations, you could probably benefit from the installation of a deer fence in Bucks and Montgomery County Pennsylvania as an effective deer repellant:

Crops.  Deer, as beautiful as they may be, can be incredibly destructive to crops.  To the people that live amid the rolling hills and farmlands of Bucks and Montgomery Counties, crops serve as a means of living.  If you harvest sweet corn, squash, eggplants, or any of the other beautiful produce that’s produced in our area, deer can bring devastating results to your bottom line.  In cases where crops are your livelihood, investing in a deer fence can mean the difference between harvesting a fruitful crop or having nothing left at all.

 

Home Gardens.  Once deer get the taste of an easy meal, they’ll make note of your location.  If you’ve worked to procure your own home garden, it can be incredibly disheartening to look out into your backyard, only to see a family of deer feasting on your homegrown tomatoes.  Although your home garden may not be your primary source of income, as is the case with your neighbors who farm for a living, you’ve still put a good deal of time and money into your space.  By installing a deer fence on your own personal property, you can protect your privately grown produce so you can later enjoy the fruits of your labor.

 

Landscaping.  Do not be fooled by thinking that your home is safe from deer just because you don’t have edible produce growing in your yard.  Deer can wreak havoc on any home owner’s property, and just because you may not realize that your landscaping would seem opportune to the area’s deer population, it doesn’t mean that they see things differently.  Landscaping of all sorts, including mulch, flowers, bushes, and trees, can be harmed by an invasion of deer that could see your yard as their own playground.  When bucks are in the fall rut, they may even rub their antlers against the trunks of the trees on your property, causing damage, or even killing them.  Homeowners with even the smallest of yards have reported extensive damage from invading deer.

 

Friends and Family.  Deer are normally pretty docile creatures that don’t pose much of a physical threat to their human neighbors.  On occasion, reports have been recorded that place aggressive deer in the yards of humans.  This can be particularly true in areas such as Buck County and Montgomery County, where the human population can, at times, seem overrun by deer.  Although they’re generally mild-mannered creatures, if an aggressive deer has decided to call your home its own, you may have little recourse, and you likely won’t learn about this deer’s personality until it’s too late.  The best way to protect your family and friends from potentially aggressive deer interaction is to be proactive.  By installing a deer fence on your property, you can proactively dissuade deer from calling your home their very own.

 

Disease.  An influx of deer can mean an influx of disease, as well.  Deer are known to carry Lyme Disease, Babesia, Ehrlichia, Bartonella and other coinfections which are generally transmitted to humans, dogs, cats, and other family pets via ticks.  Headaches are just the beginning of the symptoms of Lyme Disease.  Severe fatigue, joint pain, heart problems, arthritis and many neurological issues can occur if left untreated.  These tick borne bacteria often imitate a variety of illnesses, often making it difficult to accurately diagnose the real culprit. Throughout the late summer and fall, adult deer ticks are dropping off of deer and laying thousands of eggs wherever they land. Wouldn’t it be better to know the deer aren’t carrying these ticks onto your property to lay their eggs? A properly installed deer fence can help accomplish this.

 

Predators.  Because of their generally docile nature, deer offer an appetizing meal to many more substantial predators.  As deer spend time your property, they’re also inviting more dangerous visitors to the scene, such as coyotes.  Taking care to keep the deer away can ultimately send predators in the opposite direction, as well.
