Common Questions About Our Deer Repellent Service
Is deer repellent safe for kids and dogs?
Yes! Our all-natural repellent formula is completely safe for children, pets and beneficial wildlife. Unlike harsh chemical alternatives, our treatments are made from natural ingredients that effectively deter deer without posing any risk to your family or the environment.
How much does deer repellent service cost?
Pricing varies based on property size, treatment frequency and specific needs. Your first spray is always free. This allows you to see the product in action while we assess your property and provide a customized quote. Contact us to schedule your free spray and receive a no-obligation estimate.
How often should deer repellent be applied?
It is typically a monthly appointment. Heavy storms or a long rainy stretch can call for an earlier visit. We will assess your property and recommend the right schedule during your first visit.
Does deer repellent really work?
Our professional-grade repellent is highly effective when applied correctly and maintained on schedule. The formula creates a scent and taste barrier that deer find unpleasant, causing them to avoid treated areas. Most clients see a significant reduction in deer damage within the first few weeks of treatment.
What types of properties do you service?
We provide deer repellent services for both residential and commercial properties throughout the Central Texas area. This includes homes with landscaping and gardens, businesses with outdoor spaces, apartment complexes, HOA common areas, and any property experiencing deer damage to landscape.
Does deer repellent wash off in the rain?
Our weather-resistant formula is designed to withstand normal Texas weather conditions, including moderate rainfall. However, heavy storms or extended periods of rain may require earlier reapplication. We monitor weather patterns and will work with you to ensure your protection remains effective year-round.

Keeping Deer Off Your Plants and Flowers
How do I keep deer from eating my plants and flowers?
Deer return to the same yards night after night, so the fix is to make your plants smell and taste bad to them before browsing becomes a habit. A repellent has to be on the plant before the damage starts, and it has to be reapplied as it wears off and as new growth comes in. That upkeep is the part we handle for you. Your first spray is free: call (866) 371-DEER or send us your address.
Will deer eat roses, hibiscus or hydrangeas?
Yes. Deer browse all three. They eat rose buds, blooms and leaves in spite of the thorns, strip hydrangea leaves and flower buds, and will feed on hibiscus, especially when other food is scarce. If these are in your yard, they are worth protecting before deer find them.
What is the best deer deterrent for plants?
A fence only keeps deer out if it is really tall, which gets very expensive, and not every yard or HOA allows one. For most homeowners the better choice is a repellent applied on a regular schedule, because a repellent only works while it is fresh on the plant. Our service keeps your plants covered through the seasons, with no fence and no netting.
