Deer pose a significant threat to plants and trees in the Hamptons. In recent years, they have even started to eat varieties of plants that were previously resistant to them. Moreover, deer serve as hosts to various tick species that can transmit health risks to humans and pets. In order to mitigate the damage caused by deer, a combination of deer fencing and regular spraying is the most effective approach. At ArborTech, we use spray repellents that block the natural smell of plants, which helps to deter deer from eating them. Repellent sprays for deer usually work by emitting odors or tastes that are unpleasant or irritating, thus deterring them from feeding on plants, trees, or other surfaces where the spray is applied.
This provides Spring, Summer, and Fall protection for all tender flowering annuals and perennials. This is typically applied once per month, but the schedule can be adjusted depending on the growth of your plants. Some customers prefer bimonthly sprays throughout the Spring while their plants are first blooming.
We spray a product that lasts the entire winter season to protect your evergreens and non-deciduous plants, such as azaleas, hemlocks, pines, and rhododendrons. We use a product that has a clear ‘sticker’ so that your landscape is not stained by an unflattering color.
