Appearance & Identification of Droppings

Deer droppings are usually pellet- or pill-shaped and are sometimes confused with rabbit feces. Since rabbit feces are noticeably larger, people are usually able to tell the difference upon closer inspection. In addition to leaving behind small droppings, deer also produce solid scats of clumped pellets. They are over an inch in length and dark in color.

Finding deer droppings in the yard is typically an indication of a nearby deer problem. The pests tend to stay close to wooded areas but often use private properties to forage for food.

Problems & Removal

People are not typically at risk of contracting diseases from direct contact with deer droppings. Nevertheless, it is inadvisable to handle deer poop, as doing so can spread potentially harmful bacteria. Most of the dangers associated with deer come from parasites that use the pests as hosts. Always contact a trained wildlife professional to remove deer infestations. The wildlife removal specialists at Critter Control can handle deer removal safely and humanely.

Your representatives make your company! They are knowledgable and responsive.  I was fortunate to have a great representative for several years.  When that changed, I was concerned that the new tech wouldn't be as well trained.  I am extreamly happy with my new tech and can say that all of the service employes have been outstanding.

The technician is very knowledgeable and courteous. He called in advance to notify me about an upcoming treatment. He inquires about any problems that I may have observed. He leaves a note to inform me that the appointment was completed.
