Some residents have expressed frustration with the <br />destruction caused to their plants as well as the overall presence of deer on their property. Unlike rabbits, deer do <br />not always fit in well in the backyard! <br />If you are dealing with curious deer <br />exploring your yard a little too often, here are some suggestions to help you deter them peacefully. <br />1. Fencing: Install a sturdy fence up to six feet tall around your yard. <br />2. Deer-Resistant Plants: <br />Incorporate plants that deer tends to avoid into your landscaping. <br />3. Repellents: Use natural or commercial repellents with scents that deer find unappealing. <br />4. Noise Deterrents: Hang wind chimes, tin cans, or windsocks <br />around your yard. <br />5. Secure Compost and Trash: <br />Ensure your compost pile and trash cans are securely covered. <br />To learn more about living with wildlife, visit cityofardenhills.org/731/Living-with-Wildlife. <br />If a deer or other animal happens to die on your property, please note the <br />City does not remove those animals. Dead animals found on private property are the responsibility of <br />the property owner to remove. You should follow one of these options: <br />• Check if your garbage hauler will take the dead animal. <br />• Some local companies may <br />provide wildlife removal services (check online by searching “Pest Control” or “Wildlife Control <br />Services” to find listings of companies). <br />• Bring the dead animal to a local disposal company recommended by Ramsey County: Burnsville <br />Landfill (953-890-3248), Elk River Landfill (763-441-2464), Pine Bend Sanitary Landfill <br />(651-457-2778) Find addresses and more <br />information at ramseycounty.us/content/dead-animals. <br />If you encounter a public safety <br />concern, including any safety <br />hazards, relating to animals, <br />please call the Ramsey County <br />Sheriff's Office at 9-1-1. <br />Rabata Cultural Center and <br />Bookstore celebrated their recent expansion of their Arden Hills location.
