October Gardening Tip: This month is the time to install deer management solutions such as deer fencing to protect plants.

Once the leaves fall from the trees, and the temperatures drop, deer will become desperate for food. They will surely learn that there aren't opportunities in the forest to satisfy their cravings and thus, will wander over to your garden. You've worked hard for months, even years, to grow an organic garden; so why allow your hard work to disappear instantly because of wildlife? Here is why you need to install deer fencing this Fall:

1) Deer Fencing provides security for homes and gardens;

2) Deer Fencing protects your family from tick-borne diseases including Lyme Disease;

3) Deer Fencing provides a proper barrier.

There are many types of fencing for deer and pest control in different heights and strengths. Here is what you need to know:
