I don't have a problem with deer. Have seen them in my yard but they're usually just passing through. My problem is woodchucks. One woodchuck isn't too bad but last summer mom had four babies under our storage shed and the amount of flowers they ate from my garden was call for serious action. Called a nusiance wildlife specialist (can't shoot them in a city) and they trapped them and relocated them. It was really interesting - they were all caught in a matter of a couple of hours. The bait was apples. Mom was first and then one by one the babies walked right into their own traps. Of course I had to pay but it wasn't as much as I paid for the annuals that I lost.
