Protect Your Trees and Plants with Greater St. Louis Deer Control

Trees are leafing out, shrubs are flourishing, and perennials are filling in. And deer have their eye on your landscaping.
Here in springtime, plants and trees are growing and blooming. Fresh leaves, young trees, daylilies, hostas, garden plants all become easy deer targets this time of year. Deer damage might seem to happen overnight – and sometimes, it does. One evening your plants are full, beautiful, and thriving. But by morning, stems and leaves are torn and blooms are no more.
Why Deer Pressure Increases Around Spaces in Bloom
Though deer are active all year, their feeding patterns become more noticeable when surrounding landscapes are full of fresh springtime growth. Trees and shrubs produce new leaves, which are easier for deer to browse. In fact, small trees and shrubs are specifically vulnerable right now, because they are in easy reach for deer. Their feeding habits can quickly remove new growth points and alter the shape of plants, if not ruin them altogether.
Deer control in Greater St. Louis isn’t just about protecting a few flowers. Proactive planning is about protecting the health and value of your landscape. Mosquito Squad Plus of Greater St. Louis offers effective deer control and deterrence to keep your landscaping, gardens, and natural borders in good shape this year.
What Area Deer Eating in Spring?
This time of year, deer will browse trees and plants in bloom. From young shrubs and ornamental plantings to flower buds, vegetable gardens, and newly installed plants that haven’t yet established. Purported “deer-resistant” landscaping, while tempting to install for deterrence, is not a guarantee. Wildlife experts avoid calling any type of plant deer-proof, because they’ll try just about any type of plant in the right conditions.
It can be frustrating investing in spring flowers, ground cover, and new trees just to have deer trample and sample them before they get a chance to thrive.
