3 College of Agriculture and Natural Resources
4 Our Vision: A healthier world through environmental stewardship. Our Mission: To support the University of Maryland Extension mission by educating residents about safe, effective & sustainable horticultural practices that build healthy gardens, landscapes, & communities.
5 Credits Prepared by Leslie Rucker and Merikay Smith, both Montgomery County Master Gardeners Special thanks to the US Fish and Wildlife Service, the National Park Service, and other credited organizations for the use of their photographs... To the best of our knowledge, all other photos used are either taken by the developers of this presentation or are in the public domain No animals were in any way harmed during the preparation of this presentation
6 Six Topics: 1. So what s the big deal? 2. About Deer 3. Plant selection 4. Repellents and scare tactics 5. Fencing 6. Developing a strategic plan
7 What s the Big Deal? Deer population explosion Natural deer predators Bobcats Coyotes Bear Mountain lions Wolves Cougars American alligators Photo: US Fish & Wildlife Services
8 IMPACT ON NATIVE VEGETATION Understory density has been reduced A forest without an understory is a dying forest Birds and other wildlife have fewer places to nest, reproduce, feed, and shelter Black Hills Regional Park

10 Maryland Farmers Estimate $7.7 Million (2008) Deer Related Crop Losses ~$2.4 Million in North Central MD (USDA) Deer do 80% of all wildlife damage to crops
11 What s the Big Deal? Insurance Information Institute: Estimated $9.9 billion property damage & medical costs in FY 2013 Estimated 1.23 million deer vehicle collisions in U.S. (FY 2012) Average claim $3,305 (FY 2012) Over 200 people killed annually
12 ~2,019 deer collisions reported in Montgomery County in 2012 Montgomery County Police Department
13 Maryland is a high risk state with an estimated 34,000 deer vehicle collisions ( through )* * Photo: Field & Stream Magazine website
14 What s the Big Deal? Deer Tick ~ Lyme Disease
15 The Blacklegged Tick s Two-year Life Cycle May through Sept larvae hatch August larvae feed on variety of small mammals (white-footed mice, eastern chipmunks, meadow voles, shorttailed shrews, masked shrews, robins, etc.) May through July, nymphs becomes active and take their second feeding. Nymphs have been collected from over 100 different species of animals as well as people. Virginia Department of Health
16 PROBABILITY Feeding Time for B. burgdorferi Transmission 1.0 CUMULATIVE PROBABILITY OF B. burgdorferi TRANSMISSION FOR EACH HOUR ATACHED Cumulative Probability of B. burgdorferi Transmission for Each Hour Attached T = (1 - exp[-λ γ (t - G) γ ] ) k WEIBULL MODEL hours Virginia Department of Health HOURS ATTACHED From DesVignes et al.
17 The Role of White-tailed Deer Deer ears covered by ticks An engorged female tick that drops off of a deer may have the potential to lay up to 3,000 eggs. Virginia Department of Health
18 So What s the Big Deal? (Summary) Annual nationwide estimates of deer damage are reported to be in the multi-billions of dollars!!! Car damages Personal health Agricultural crop damage Landscape damage Damage to forests and parks Reliable statistics for wildlife-related losses are difficult to obtain and estimates are usually conservative $
19 About Deer (Sub-Topic #2) Chinese General Sun Tzu (±700~200 BCE) in The Art of War : Know thy enemy and know yourself; in a hundred battles, you will never be defeated. When you are ignorant of the enemy but know yourself, your chances of winning or losing are equal. If ignorant both of your enemy and of yourself, you are sure to be defeated in every battle.

28 Plant Selection (sub-topic #3) General rules: Do not like spiny surfaces Do not like unusual textures Do not like aromatic plants Rarely eat plants that produce yellow flowers Use plants that deer do not like REMEMBER: Deer do NOT read!!!!!!
29 Plant Selection: See University of Maryland Fact Sheet (FS) 655 for listings ( select Information Library, and then select Publications ) Categories Rarely Damaged Seldom Damaged Occasionally Damaged Frequently Damaged Sub-Categories Trees Shrubs and Climbers Annuals, Perennials & Bulbs REMEMBER: Deer do NOT read!!!!
30 Repellents and Scare Tactics (Sub-topic #4) See University of Maryland FS 810 for listings ( select Information Library, select Publications ) Repellents generally more effective where Low to moderate deer pressure Light to moderate deer feeding damage Small acreage Repellents not being used on adjacent properties Alternative food sources are available Taste-based versus odor-based
31 Some of the Many Commercially Available Deer Repellents
32 Delivering Repellents Systemic repellents Contact repellents Area repellents
33 Repellents and Scare Tactics Dogs Homemade repellents and area repellents Hair (human or other known predator, e.g., dog or wolf) Bar soap (High fragrance such as Dial, Cashmere Bouquet, Ivory, Irish Spring, Safeguard, Jergens, etc.) MUST change location and brand of soap frequently Mothballs CAUTION! Mothballs are poisonous to children and pets Place in cheesecloth, net or stocking and hang 3 feet apart Fabric softener strips must be highly fragrant tie every 3 feet
34 Do-it-Yourself Formulae The recipes for natural deer repellents and the myths about deer repellent recipes abound. Some folks swear by them, others swear at them. Either way, science has been pursuing the fail safe combination of smells and taste deterrents for centuries with mixed results. The recipes usually consist of the same basic ingredients--human hair, garlic, pepper, strong smelling soaps such as Dial or Irish Spring, coyote urine, cat feces from large cats--such as tigers and other zoo animals, fertilizers, fabric softener, eggs and a variety of herbs, spices and vinegar. Taste deterrents include pepper, garlic and hot spices. Dozens, if not hundreds of recipes for both kinds of repellents can be found on the Internet or in popular gardening magazines. From:
35 Make your own deer repellent bags using Milorganite
36 Motion-sensing Deer Sprays: Battery or solar powered Adjustable sensitivity settings Sprays deer with water which startles them
37 Electric Trainers May Teach Deer to Shun Your Garden Produces effective but harmless micro-shocks. One set protects 1,200 square feet of plantings. Lure attracts deer to post, which gives them a mild shock. Scent lures work short-range, won't attract deer to your property.
38 Birth Control Costly ($300 to well over $1,000 per treatment which must be done under the supervision of a licensed veterinarian, etc.) Hard to track Renders treated deer inedible Limited effectiveness shots may only last one breeding season and then only ±80% effective The same animal rights groups that argue for it also argue against it Do an internet search for Deer birth control for additional information
39 Fencing (sub-topic #5) Solid (privacy) fences Electric fences Living fences Living fences combined with pre-fab mesh High fences Dual fence lines
40 Electric Fence Deters deer No protection from small animal pests If electricity fails, fence can be breached

44 Developing a Strategic Plan (Sub-topic #6) Information provided on deer behavior, plant selection, repellents and fencing should arm you with the information you need to develop your garden s personalized strategic plan Must include alternatives Meanwhile, please help Maryland manage the white-tailed deer population through population management alternatives
45 POPULATION DYNAMICS To maintain a stable population, about 50% of the does must die each year.
46 Deer Population Dynamics Initial Deer Herd (3:1 Ratio) 18 does + 6 bucks = 24 deer After hunting season 9 does + 3 bucks = 12 deer Each remaining doe produces 1.3 fawns 9 X 1.3 = 12 new fawns Deer Herd Next Year 12 new deer + 12 remaining = 24 deer total
47 Developing a Strategic Plan Population management in urban and suburban environments requires an understanding by the community of the options and a level of consensus by citizens to allow local government to implement deer reduction strategies that use traditional hunting, managed hunts, and sharpshooters.
48 In Summary: Six Sub-Topics 1. So what s the big deal? 2. About Deer 3. Plant selection and landscaping 4. Repellents and scare tactics 5. Fencing 6. Developing a strategic plan
