How to shut out deer from lawn
churin – posted 01 March 2011 16:10
Deer roam around in my yard. The problem is that they leave feces on the lawn. It appears that my yard has become their favorite place to do that so that the droppings pile up pretty quickly. I noticed that they are coming from woods in the back side of my house so I placed deer repellents at each side of my house to block them from the front yard. But they are now coming direct from either my neighbors’ yards or the street in front of our house. Any suggestion?

maybe a salt lick in the woods somewhere?

I am afraid I do not understand your reply.

It’s a big block of salt that people use to attract deer. Maybe if they get a wiff of that they’ll stay to one side.

I see. Your suggestion may be a solution if they come from and go away direct to other part of the woods. My observation indicates otherwise.

Deer and wild turkey seem to follow a path and come around about the same time of day. If you don’t have a dog, I think I’d try a scarecrow, or maybe a wind driven object. But move it around the yard ..

That do not seems particulary scary to them. And what if there is no wind? After all, they won’t be able to see them because they come around during the night time.

we had a deer issue and came to find that a few wind chimes kept them out of our bushes

Could you provide more details? Or, where can I get it?

If you have deer, you should be able to have a dog. I’d suggest buying or renting one.
