Repelling deer

Living the Country Life Radio Program


If you've worked hard on your garden, it's smart to consider using an electric fence to keep deer away. Although hunting does help to control the deer population, many rural homeowners still find they have an excess of unwelcome visitors munching on their plants in the fall. Fortunately, electric deer fencing helps to control property damage in a relatively inexpensive manner. These fences work by administering a small shock that is distinctly uncomfortable for the deer.
