Bartlett Tree Experts: Deer Management

A practical approach to deter deer

Deer are a common problem in many yards, gardens, and landscapes, where they forage and browse on a wide range of plantings. Vegetable and ornamental gardens seem to be favorites of these animals, but many flowers, shrubs, and plants are at risk including tulips, hosta, yew bushes, and fruit trees to name just a few.

Considering an adult deer consumes about six pounds of plant material daily, you can easily imagine the kind of damage they can cause once they've established themselves in your landscape.

Add that to the fact that deer can also carry ticks and you'll probably be looking for solutions to keep these unwanted visitors away. Unfortunately, deer management can be a frustrating challenge for homeowners. Deer feed all year long and quickly adapt to most home remedies and even some commercial products that claim to keep them off a property.

The most practical approach to deer management for most landscapes is a repellent program that uses several different products. Bartlett's repellent programs are based on the specific time of year, amount of deer pressure, and client preferences.

In the fall, we recommend a heavy film repellent that typically deters feeding for 90 days or more. For summer treatments, we use a product that leaves no visible residue, but requires application more frequently. All products used have been tested at our Research Labs to help ensure they effectively reduce damage to valuable plantings by keeping deer away.

[empty string]	[empty string]	<h2>An integrated approach to managing pests and diseases</h2><p>Bartlett Tree Experts uses an integrated approach to managing insects and diseases that begins with maintaining plant health using sound cultural practices including pruning and creating optimal soil conditions for plant growth. Periodic inspections are essential to detect pest infestations before they reach damaging levels. Bartlett arborists are trained to recognize beneficial insects that will help naturally suppress pest populations, and we also release beneficials to augment existing populations. When treatments are necessary, Bartlett can apply organic and natural-based materials and reduced-risk products that provide effective pest suppression while protecting people and the environment.</p><p>Hundreds of insect species damage leaves, stems, and branches; roots; and flowers and fruit of landscape plants. But not all insects on trees and shrubs are damaging. Some are beneficial and may help pollinate flowers or could be predators or parasites on insects that damage plants. Bartlett arborists are trained to correctly identify these beneficial insects and mites and can devise effective management programs that protect landscape plants from serious damage while conserving beneficial organisms.</p><p>Diseases are abnormalities in trees and shrubs caused by microorganisms such as fungi and bacteria and by environmental stress such as drought, temperature extremes, and air pollution. Diseases are often difficult to diagnosis as different causal agents can produce similar symptoms. Accurate diagnosis is essential to developing effective treatment programs. Bartlett operates a modern diagnostic laboratory to support pest management services to ensure accurate identification and treatment of plant problems.</p>	We use an integrated approach to manage pests and tree diseases.
