Why Customizable Deer Spray Beats Gadgets and Netting

There are a few options for deer deterrence, including deer spray, ultrasonic devices, and netting. Which is better for your yard?

Deer are beautiful to see, but perhaps better seen from a distance. When they start treating your landscaping like their personal dinner buffet, their charm fades a little. Homeowners throughout St. Louis Metro East know that deer activity can mean damaged plantings, chewed-up shrubs, and ruined flower beds. This isn’t simply cause for frustration, but it can also put a dent in your pocketbook.

If you’re considering deer control in St. Louis Metro East, including Edwardsville, Collinsville, O’Fallon, Waterloo, and beyond, Mosquito Squad Plus can help you make the right choice for your situation.

Deer Devices Often Fall Short

Though they seem to be an appealing and simple solution for deterring deer from your yard, ultrasonic devices often stop working once deer become adapted. One might save you for a season, only to fail the next. Over time, ultrasonic devices have not proven to remain reliably effect deer deterrents.

They appear promising on paper, but these devices might not be enough to protect the plants that deer really want to eat.

Deer Netting Can Be Impractical

Individual plants and small garden beds could be well-served with deer netting. But netting can become highly impractical for use on everyday landscaping. Netting can be adjusted as plants mature, but it can be difficult to install around larger shrubs, ornamental trees, plants that lie close to your foundation, and layered landscaping beds. What’s more, netting will affect the look of your yard and landscaping, which is important for curb appeal landscaping.

Deer netting can be an okay temporary patch in your deer control plan, but long-term landscaping protection is inconvenient and unappealing.

The Advantages of Customizable Deer Spray Services

Mosquito Squad Plus offers a deer control solution, which can be customized and tweaked as-needed for peak performance – a much more targeted and flexible approach. Our professional deer repellent sprays are designed to deter deer through smell and taste, making your landscaping, flowers, gardens, and trees much less appealing.

No two yards are the same, even if they are in the same neighborhood. Properties with young trees, blooming plants, and shrubs that deer love, can become a hot spot for deer grazing.
