Deer-Proof Your Yard: All-Natural, Kid-Friendly Protection That Lasts
Oct 25, 2024

As a plant health care provider, we understand the challenges homeowners face when it comes to protecting their beloved landscapes from deer damage. Deer are drawn to the same plants you love – think lush hostas, vibrant hydrangeas, and towering arborvitae. And they don't discriminate; they'll eagerly “taste test” your newly installed plants, even those labeled "deer resistant." Not only do homeowners have to worry about plants being chewed down to stubs, but with fall comes another threat – buck rub damage. Fortunately, our all-natural, minty fresh deer repellent service offers a powerful solution. Here’s why this environmentally friendly service can be a game-changer for your landscape.
For homeowners who put effort, time, and money into curating a beautiful landscape, deer browsing can be devastating. During early September through mid-November, buck rub (pictured above) is a huge problem. Bucks scrape their antlers against tree trunks and shrubs, stripping bark and causing long-term damage, aesthetically and to the health of the tree.
Deer are naturally curious and can’t resist testing out various plants, like these arborvitae, especially during times of food scarcity in colder months.
Why Our All-Natural Deer Repellent Works
Our deer repellent spray is a completely natural, plant-safe product that provides a long-lasting barrier against deer. Unlike other repellents, which rely on unpleasant tastes, ours uses peppermint oil – a minty scent that’s pleasant to humans but repels deer. This means instead of taking a bite out of your plants before realizing they don’t like it, the deer smell the repellent from a distance and stay away altogether. This product is versatile and can be applied directly to your plants, shrubs, and trees. This direct application method provides a barrier that deer will avoid, ensuring all your efforts in cultivating a beautiful garden aren't wasted.
Safe for Your Family, Pets, and the Environment
When you choose our deer repellent service, you’re not just protecting your plants – you’re also choosing an option that’s safe for your entire household. Our formula contains no harsh chemicals or poisons, so you can let kids and pets back in the yard right after application without worry. It’s an eco-friendly choice, ideal for families who want both a beautiful and safe outdoor space.
Long-Lasting Protection, Even Through Rain
One of the most common challenges with deer repellents is their tendency to wash off during rain. the product we use has been specifically formulated to be rain-resistant, ensuring continuous protection for 30-60 days after application, even in wet conditions. This means fewer reapplications and greater peace of mind knowing your landscape is guarded against browsing deer.
Protecting Your Family from Deer Ticks and Tick-Borne Illnesses
Beyond the damage deer can inflict on your plants, their presence in your yard can also introduce serious health risks. Deer are common carriers of ticks that can transmit dangerous diseases like Lyme disease.
Our deer repellent spray not only keeps deer from snacking on your plants but also reduces the chances of them wandering into your yard – and bringing ticks with them. For even more comprehensive protection, we also offer an all-natural flea, tick, and mosquito treatment. This service is designed to target these pests directly, giving you an extra layer of safety so your family can enjoy the yard without worry.
