Deer Management in Pittsburgh Controlling Damage & Disease
Deer in and around the Pittsburgh area seem to coexist with ease among the human population. With an area dominated by tall buildings, busy roads, and bustling communities, deer wander around seemingly unphased by all of the activity and commotion. With that, however, means they’ve become commonplace on residential and commercial properties, along with parks and recreation areas. The creates challenges when growing and maintaining arborvitae, yews, hostas, tulips, and other types of plants and flowers.
Environmental Concerns
Tree pruning is a technical and scientific skill that should only be carried out by trained professionals, such as an ISA® Certified Arborist field technician on staff at Horhut Tree Experts. We implement, follow, and carryout all pruning activities based on ANSI A300 Standards.

Human Disease
In addition to plant damage, deer can also carry ticks that create problems like Lyme disease among pets, children, adults and the elderly. Lyme disease is an inflammatory disease that can develop into arthritis, neurological and cardiac disorders. Shocking results provided by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) show that between 2004-2016, the State of Pennsylvania reported the largest number of Lyme disease infections among any other state – many of them reported right here in Allegheny County. With numbers this close to home, Horhut Tree Services has created a deer management program to curb the population.
