Different species of deer have their distinct droppings, allowing them to be easily identified. Deer droppings can also provide a valuable food source for other wildlife, such as birds and small mammals.
Deer droppings will look like black or brown pellets with white tips on the ends, although they may vary in color depending on the vegetation they have been eating.
Deer scat usually has just one piece per dropping. It gets broken up into smaller pieces during digestion before being excreted in large single pellets or “scats” (the term used for individual droppings).
Their droppings provide natural fertilizer withessential nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus.This improves soil structure and water retention capacity.
Since deer only consume vegetation from the area where they roam within the same habitat, their droppings don’t introduce new foreign substances into the environment.
Deer can be a real nuisance when eating up your garden plants and leaving piles of poop. You can install fences around the perimeter usually at least eight feet tall and sturdy.
Another way to deter deer is by planting strong-smelling plants like lavender or garlic around the perimeter of your yard, as well as thorny shrubs such as holly or barberry.
