<\/a>Kim Eierman<\/figcaption><\/figure> Fences Keep Deer Away<\/strong><\/h2>
- Tall fences.<\/strong> A deer can easily jump 7 feet or more, so to keep deer out you will want to install a fence that is at least 8 feet high. In addition, it needs to be made of strong material, such as chain link or welded wire, or be a brick wall.
Look for fencing \u201cthat has large enough spacing in the fence itself, as well as gaps below the fence, to allow other animals to pass through without getting stuck,\u201d according to Kim Eierman, author and founder of the horticultural design company EcoBeneficial<\/a>.<\/li> <\/ul>- Double fences. <\/strong>Two sets of 4-foot fencing with 4 feet of space between them is an alternative suggested by Eierman. \u201cDeer have poor depth perception (because their eyes are on the sides of their head) and tend not to jump if they think they may get stuck in between the two fences.\u201d<\/li> <\/ul>
- Electric fences. <\/strong>A shock will drive off a deer. But because of their size and the fact they have hollow hair, a strong shock is needed. You might want to leave it on around the clock for a month<\/a>, then put it on a timer that turns it off during the day. <\/li> <\/ul>
A pro\u2019s tip: <\/strong>If you have a deer problem serious enough to require an electrified fence, hang tinfoil that has peanut butter in it along the fence, some 20-40 feet apart. It attracts the deer, they touch it with their nose, get a shock, then make it a point to stay away.<\/p>
