Summary In this book, you'll discover many viable strategies to deter, scare away, and limit deer and other pests in your yard and garden. Author Neil Soderstrom interviewed wildlife authorities all over the United States and culled their advice and his own experiences in upstate New York into hundreds of control options and strategies for animal pests, ranging from home remedies and simple diversions to more elaborate methods, with a humane approach encouraged at all times. You'll learn which methods work and which methods don't work, and why - all based on scientific research, the experience of landscape and wildlife-control professionals, and the author's own richly anecdotal, photo-documented observations and testing.
