Fall is Deer Feeding Time

Fall Is Time To Get Deer Damage Under Control

Fall is a beautiful time of the year. Crisp air, fun holidays and leaves turn all kinds of beautiful colors.

Of course, after the beautiful colors, the leaves fall off the trees and shrubs. This leaves the deer with none of their normal foods. The only food that is left is your landscape.

Deer are creatures of habit (aren’t we all). Once they find a food source they like, they will return to it again and again. In fact, deer will establish routes from house to house that they will follow every day in their search for food. This can have devastating effects on your gardens.

The trick is to break the deer of their habits.

Allentuck Landscaping Co’s Deer DeFence program is designed to do just that.

Most deer deterent product rely on bad odor or bad taste to deter deer feeding. The problem is that these products smell bad to humans and wear off quickly.

Deer Defence is different because we use a product that isn’t just another offensive scent or unpleasant taste to foraging deer. Blended from selected organic components, it is all natural and biodegradable. Deer DeFence has no foul odor for people and if is safe for pets and children. Deer DeFence will keep deer off your plantings because, through their uncanny sense of smell, it convinces deer that harm is nearby. Deer DeFence will change deer behavior. Regular application of Deer DeFence creates a barrier the deer will not cross to reach your plants 24 hours a day.
