Use repellents to protect against bugs

Habitat Function Type of work
Forest
High-quality timber
Game control

Biological techniques and tools should be preferred to prevent forest damage and to control its spread. The use of non-biological plant protection products on forest land is only allowed in justified cases.

Description of the action

Use repellents such as Trico and Cervacol to protect young forest from moose, deer and roe deer. Agree with hunters not to build salt pits or bait pits near pine, spruce and aspen regeneration and saplings.

Why?

The use of repellents reduces damage to ungulates in young forest. In order to control the damage caused to reptile populations, it is necessary to keep reptile numbers at optimal levels.
