Preparing that back country Greenwich, CT., Fairfield County, CT. estate to go on the market. About that deer situation.
One of the great joys about living here in the hills of southern New England is the wildlife. Having cast aside the agrarian roots of centuries past, most of the fields around here have reverted to forest many decades ago. Though, we do still put out a bumper crop of Bankers and Wall Street derivative guys. Booyah!
From deep within the forested perimeter, countless eyes are constantly watching and waiting. The coyotes waiting to dine on the local Bishon Frise herd; The Greenwich, CT. Mountain Lion, eager to dine on anyone or anything; The raccoons standing their ground over garbage bags splayed out on the driveway, steadfastly refusing to leave. Even when whacked with a broom. Those guys are a scary crazy; The skunks, 'nuff said; The chipmunks, hellbent on world domination through their stupefying ability to replicate at the speed of light. I swear there are 50,000 of them in my yard alone. Soon the entire earth will be covered by chipmunks. I dislike those fuzzy little bastards. Incessantly chirping all day, taking just a single big bite out of each individual tomato. And the digging, These creatures make John Henry look like a teenage slacker.
Ahhh, but the deer here. All other creatures pale by comparison. None but the deer, offer the one-two-three punch of auto body damage, shrub decimation and the ravages of Lyme disease. And what is the deal with a giant animal like that pooping out little raisin sized pellets, seriously? It's a scatological embarrassment. They should see a doctor about that.
At least they are good for the local economy. In these here parts, there is a multi billion dollar industry devoted to thwarting these giant woods rats. Whistles that attach to your car, foul smelling concoctions to spray on your plants, predator urine, motion sensor activated water spraying contraptions, deer resistant plants (it really means they will come back and eat them later after the tastier stuff is gone). The list goes on and on.
It is not a well kept secret that there is a deer problem here. So it goes without saying, the more fortified a home is against this woodland scourge, the more total appeal it will have to a potential buyer. When preparing that back country Fairfield County, CT. estate to go on the market, robust deer proofing can be a very strong selling point. Protection for your shrubs and your family. You still have to be careful on the roads.
I have been thrice punched by the deer. So with me, it's personal.
