Deer Taking Over Your West St. Louis County Yard?

If deer are taking over your yard throughout the West St. Louis County area, here’s why – and what you can do about it!

Does it feel like deer are showing up more frequently around you home? If so, you’re not imagining things! Across the West St. Louis County area, including Ballwin, Chesterfield, and Wildwood, residents are dealing with a noticeable uptick in deer acidity – and the unfortunate damage that comes with it.

From damaged landscaping to trampled backyard gardens and ravaged fruit trees, deer are becoming a frustrating outdoor nuisance. What’s behind the surge in deer populations in our area, and more importantly, can anything be done about it?

Why Deer Populations Are Growing

Deer thrive in suburban environments and West St. Louis County offers an ideal combo of food, shelter, and overall safety. Deer are becoming more common in areas like ours due to expanding neighborhoods and a reduction in natural predators. Milder winters also play a role, allowing deer to survive and reproduce at higher rates. And what brings them to your yard is – well, lots of stuff in your yard.

Deer are no longer just passing through, but are rather settling into neighborhoods like yours, where they can return to the same properties night after night for a feast.

We Wish Deer Were Harmless, But…

It seems like an animal lover’s dream to sit on the back porch and watch deer breeze through on occasion. But sadly, for many, deer are able to very quickly undo what could be months or years of landscaping work and garden maintenance.

Deer can eat plants, flowers, and shrubs down to their stems in short order. They can cause damage to tree bark in the fall. They trample and destroy gardens and eat regrowth far before it’s able to mature. All this can become a frustrating cycle – replant, regrow, and repeat – lessons in futility.

Why DIY Deer Repellent and Control Often Falls Short

Are storebought deer repellent, motion lights, and would-be home remedies offering inconsistent results? They often do! Not only can rain and irrigation wash away treatments, but applications must be very thorough and consistent, which homeowners often tire of doing on their own. Not only that, but deer will adapt to smells and deterrents over time.

Mosquito Squad Plus of West St. Louis can end your failed DIY deer control efforts and the inconsistent or ineffective results they bring.
