Deer Control and Management

ARVPVCS Professional Vermin Control Pest offer a bespoke Deer Management Service.

Deer are not believed tb be a real pest species, however deer are not always accepted by landowners or the individuals overseeing the landscape due to the destructive tendencies of deer. There is nonetheless an act of parliament safeguarding all UK Deer, The Deer Act 1991. Under the Deer Act, laws have been approved making some methods of culling deer unlawful that are punishable and implemented by the criminal justice system. It is consequently vital for landowners to select knowledgeable, insured, and competent professionals to carry out deer management on their land.

For deer to prosper the older and frail should be eliminated, but there are no actual predators to manage deer in the UK, therefore deer have to be controlled by people. In the past the UK had populaces of wolves, lynx and bears which would have predated on the sick and tired mammals, now the UK had to be dependent on humans to deal with this situation.

It is projected that 350,000 deer are removed in the UK each year, additional to this number there are the soaring number of deer killed in road traffic accidents (approximately 50,000 animals), yet deer populations persist to grow through the UK.

Deer cause ecological and economic damage; without the culling of deer the UK would be rigorously overpopulated by deer. Areas in the UK that are now overpopulated with deer have recognized that other natural types of bird, insect, reptile and mammal have deteriorated as a result.
