Encouraging Animals Away From Your Trees

Though deer, rabbits, and squirrels might be cute from far away, they can be a pain on your plants and other trees in your outdoor space. Though some individuals who decide to use deadly methods and dangerous chemicals on these critters, there are safer ways of encouraging animals away from your trees. You don’t harm the animals, and you don’t damage the earth. Below are a few ideas for doing this.

Eliminate the Enticements
Wild animals live for one thing: Survival. For this to happen effectively, they must have shelter and food. Trees offer both which makes them every enticing to several creatures. Therefore, things such as easily accessible entryways, unattended wood piles, and unsecured trash cans should be addressed. By tackling these additional incentives, you’ll make your outdoor space less attractive overall for all critters.

Barriers
Fences will aid in deterring big creatures such as deer from coming to your trees and damaging them. Also, bucks enjoy rubbing their antlers on trees, which will destroy the bark and can create other problems down the road.  

By erecting a fence around the edge of your property, deer are more likely to not come near your trees since they won't be able to saunter up and use them. If you’re having problems with creatures eating the fruit on your fruit trees, there’s netting available to shield them until harvest time.

Relocate and Remove Creatures
There are several ways to humanitarianly trap and relocate animals of any type from raccoons to squirrels. In actuality, trees in the open are where creatures survive and find food. Therefore, it’s only reasonable that they’ll want to use your trees to increase their chance of survival. Though, the destruction they can do is less than perfect. The last thing you want to happen is a tree destroyed, and you have to call for tree and stump removal service.

To remove and relocate the bothersome creatures, you can either use live traps or call a professional. If the traps have bait in them, you should be able to catch your pesky pests and release them somewhere else far away. However, it is highly suggested that you contact a team of experts to handle the task since some wild creatures carry diseases and can harm you.
