Suburban sprawl has created an ideal habitat for wildlife, free from
most natural predators and off-limits to hunters. For lovers of
wildlife, this can be a joy, but the joy can be short lived when deer
see your landscape as an all-they-can-eat buffet.
In this book, Soderstrom tells you what works, what doesnıt and why,
based on the latest scientific research, advice of landscape and
wildlife-control professionals, all without resorting to poisons or
firearms.
Not just deer, by the way, but also twenty other ³pesky² mammals from
bears, beavers and chipmunks to moles, mice, rabbits and voles.
Perhaps best of all, Soderstom lists, describes and depicts more than
1,000 plants that are resistant to deer and other wildlife.
Suburban sprawl brings images of lost wildlife habitat, monocultures
(lawns), ticky-tacky, and fences to my mind. It doesn't have to be like
that. Integrated Pest Management, to my understanding, allows for a
dialog among the members of the biodiversity. For one species to win, it
would be the destruction of the environment.
