deer & rabbit deterent

Posted by Martin stevens on January 28, 2019 at 8:44am in Groundscare

hi all

 

I am the head gardener at a 4* resort in sunny sussex. The resort consists of a hotel, two golf course and health club. 

 

Since i took over about 18 months ago i have been determined to conquer the issue of deer and rabbits. Admittably we will never be rid of them as we are surrounded by 1100 acres of woodland and to be honest its nice to have wildlife roaming the courses. The issue being is if the rabbits are not eating the bedding plants then the deer will be ripping them out. 

I have tried numerous methods like using resistant plants, putting chilli around the beds etc. is there anything else i can try. Fencing is a no go as the area is so large. im thinking along the lines of supersonic deterents.

 

any help appreciated

    Have you tried spraying plants affected with 'Grazers'? Sometimes works, sometimes doesn't!

    You need to speak to a pest control company in my opinion, with a view to use of a rifle/ air rifle. 

    No other options for you. Best of luck
