Using organic deer-proof garden ideas and techniques to get rid of deer will do so without hurting them or using pesticides that hurt your garden. Learn how to keep deer out of garden naturally.

Deer are mostly crepuscular or nocturnal–active at dawn and dusk, though they will often be active all night as well. During the day, they usually reside in protected shady areas, bed down, and stay quiet. When we understand the times of day they are most active, we can be more aware and watch for them.

Deer and auto crashes are common and cause millions of dollars in insurance claims each year. Because of the closer interaction of deer and human communities we have also seen an increase in Lyme disease and other diseases. (Due also to a better understanding, diagnosis, and reporting of the disease.) Lyme is transmitted by the deer tick, now known as the blacklegged tick, Ixodesscapularis, which is found on the deer and in their territory.
