Deer Repellent

Deer may look peaceful at a distance, but once they discover your landscaping, they can cause thousands of dollars in damage in a single season. If you live near open space, woods, or reservoirs, there is almost certainly a herd of white tail deer nearby.

In winter they strip evergreens and shrubs. In spring they eat new flowers as soon as you plant them. In fall they rub bark off young trees during rut season. Scientific Plant Service’s Deer Repellent Program is designed to protect your landscape all year with regular, targeted applications.

Why Deer Repellent Matters?

Deer do not just browse casually. Once they decide your property is a reliable food source, they come back again and again. They will:

- Devour hosta, tulips, annuals, perennials and many shrubs.
- Strip bark from young trees, making them vulnerable to disease and insects.
- Chew new growth and buds so plants never fully recover.

Replacing damaged plants year after year adds up quickly. A structured deer repellent program is far less expensive than continually replanting beds and shrubs.

How Our Deer Repellent Program Works?

Our goal is to protect the plants deer like most, during the months they are most desperate for food.

The repellent makes treated plants smell and taste unappealing to deer, without harming the plant, the soil or other wildlife.

Key features of the program:

Organic based repellents applied directly to high value plants and shrubs.
Applications recommended 12 months a year so protection does not lapse in winter or early spring.
Bi weekly treatments available when needed for lush hosta, flowering annuals and perennials that deer find especially attractive.
Product rotation throughout the year to help prevent deer from getting used to a single scent or taste.

Maintenance Visits And Warranty

When you enroll in a full Deer Repellent Program, you also receive our maintenance support.

- If feeding damage occurs between scheduled applications, we provide a no charge maintenance visit, as long as you are on the full program.

- This can happen on:

- New plants added since the last treatment.
- Fresh growth or blossoms that emerged after the last visit.
- Plants that were repeatedly sprayed by an irrigation system and lost some coverage.

Programs with fewer than six treatments per year do not carry a warranty, because protection gaps make it easier for deer to find unprotected growth.

What The Program Can And Cannot Do?

It is important to understand what deer repellent is designed to handle.

Our program will:

Help keep deer from feeding on your plants
Reduce the amount of chewing, stripping and tearing in beds and on shrubs
Protect new plantings and established landscapes when used consistently

Our program will not:

Fence deer out or keep them completely off your property
Control other animals that do not respond to these repellents

However, we offer additional services to address one of the biggest concerns that comes with deer traffic: ticks.

Tick and Lyme Disease Protection

As deer travel, they carry deer ticks with them. Those ticks can spread Lyme disease to people and pets.

Combining deer repellent with seasonal tick fogging helps protect both your landscape and your family.

If you want to go beyond plant protection and reduce tick pressure around your home, we can:

Fog your property and wood lines where deer and ticks are likely to move.
Target prime tick breeding seasons in spring and fall.
Focus on the edges of lawns, wooded areas and paths where people and pets spend time.

Where Deer Repellent Makes The Most Sense?

Our Deer Repellent Program is ideal for properties with:

- Ornamental beds filled with shrubs, evergreens, annuals and perennials.
- Homes near woods, open fields, reservoirs or parkland.
- Young trees and ornamentals that have had bark damage in past seasons.
- A history of heavy deer browsing or broken plants each winter and spring.

If you have invested in your landscape, protecting it from deer is one of the smartest maintenance steps you can take.
