Optimize Your Natural Deer Barrier with Deer Repellent Packs
Deer are beautiful creatures, but they can also be pests when they get into your yard. In order to protect their homes, gardens, and property from deer invasions, many people install natural deer barriers. These often include high hedges and thick bushes that prevent deer from passing into the yard. Certain types of plants that are thorny or give off odors that are unpleasant to deer can also serve as natural barriers.
The problem with all natural deer barriers is that they are not 100% reliable. Deer can be very insistent, especially when they are curious about the edible plant life just beyond your barrier in the garden. Adding deer repellent packs to your natural barrier will serve as an effective second layer of protection. How can you use repellent packs together with your natural barrier? What makes repellent packs a good choice for keeping deer out?
Reinforcing Natural Barriers
Many people prefer to use:
- hedges
- bushes
- small trees
as deer deterrents since they look much nicer than fencing and other barrier methods. However, such hedges can be vulnerable when first planted. Deer are also known to jump over, push through, or even eat through some plants that usually deter them.
If you reinforce your plant defense with deer repellent packs, however, there will be a far less risk of deer getting into your yard. That is because these repellent pouches give off the scent of deer predators, thus scaring the animals away. By tricking the deer based on their own instinctive sense of self preservation, the repellent has a powerful effect.
Installing Repellent Packs
Deer repellent packs come in durable, all-weather pouches that can be hung directly from bushes and tree branches or placed on posts. That makes them very easy to add to your natural deer barrier. Since the ingredients are all natural and simply put off odors designed to scare deer away, there is no reason for concern that the pouches will hurt your plants, harm your pets, or pose a danger for children.
Unlike spray-on repellents that may be made with chemicals and that wash away easily in rain, Deer Repellent Packs will continue working effectively for up to 90 days without needing attention.
Combining two effective deer repellent methods – planting hedges and trees that deer dislike and using deer repellent packs – is a smart way to keep deer out of your yard. These methods also offer the advantage of being all natural, aesthetically pleasing solutions that are easy and inexpensive to implement.
