Deer Repellent Service in Columbus & Central Ohio
Deer can undo years of landscaping in a single night. Deerly
Departed protects Central Ohio yards with an all-natural deer
repellent program built on nine years of field trials — the same
formula, refined and proven, applied on a schedule that keeps
protection consistent through every season.
We are owned and operated by ISA Certified Arborists. We know the
plants deer target, the seasons they do the most damage, and how
to stop the browsing before it starts.
How the Service Works
Our treatments use a blend of plant-based oils that deer find unappetizing but people barely notice. The spray is rain-resistant within 15 minutes of application and completely safe for pets, kids, edible plants, pollinators, and wildlife.
Most clients are on a nine-treatment annual program, with additional spring applications when fast new growth is most attractive to hungry deer. Over time, consistent treatment trains deer to avoid your yard entirely — they stop checking, and the damage stops with them.
What We Protect
- Ornamental shrubs: arborvitae, yews, hostas, hydrangeas
- Flower beds: annuals, perennials, tulips, roses
- Young trees: including fall protection from antler rubbing
- Vegetable gardens: the formula is safe on edibles, even right
after application
- Residential and commercial landscapes across Central Ohio
Antler Rubbing Protection
Every fall, bucks strip bark and snap branches rubbing velvet off their antlers — and young trees take the worst of it. Our fall treatment schedule targets this directly. Most clients see a noticeable drop in rubbing damage within 6 to 9 months of consistent treatment.
