Our Story Started in Metro West
What do apple trees and stubborn deer have to do with founding a company? Everything.
Kurt Upham, a Weston native, started ohDEER in 2006 after seeing the damage deer caused to a neighbor’s orchard. Not wanting to harm the animals, he began developing an all-natural deer repellent — and it worked. Soon neighbors started calling him “the deer guy,” and word spread fast.
Today, ohDEER services thousands of properties across the East Coast — and right here in Newton, Framingham, Waltham, Wayland, and beyond — helping homeowners enjoy safer, greener backyards.
