In Nashoba Valley, each season brings its own beauty — and its own challenges when it comes to protecting your landscape. The plants deer target in the early days of spring are not the same as what they seek in the depths of winter.
Without a strategic plan that adapts to these shifting feeding habits, your flowers, shrubs, and trees could turn into a year-round buffet.
That’s why ohDEER offers seasonal deer control programs specifically designed for the changing conditions of our region.
Whether it’s guarding delicate spring blooms, shielding summer vegetable gardens, or protecting evergreens from winter browsing, our approach keeps your property safe no matter the month.
When warmer weather arrives, gardens in Nashoba Valley burst into life — and so do deer appetites. Early spring is a critical time to establish protection, before deer can form the habit of feeding on your plants.
Our Spring & Summer Seasonal Deer Control plan includes:
By starting treatments early, we disrupt feeding patterns before they become established. Many homeowners in Acton, Bolton, Harvard, Hudson, and Stow notice a significant reduction in deer activity after just one or two visits.
As autumn arrives, leaves drop and natural food sources decline. Deer shift their attention to evergreen foliage, the bark of young trees, and dormant buds. Winter browsing can be severe, stunting growth and even killing plants.
Our Fall & Winter Seasonal Deer Control plan includes:
We recommend treatments every 4–6 weeks during this period, adjusting schedules based on weather conditions. This plan is especially important for properties with arborvitae, rhododendrons, fruit trees, or young ornamental trees.
For complete peace of mind, our Annual Seasonal Deer Control plan delivers continuous protection all year long. This “set it and forget it” approach keeps deer guessing and your plants intact.
Benefits of our annual plan include:
If your property has year-round landscaping, seasonal flowers, or a combination of ornamental and evergreen plantings, this plan offers the most comprehensive coverage.
Do I really need deer control in winter?
Yes. Winter is often when deer cause the most lasting damage, especially to trees, shrubs, and evergreens, as natural food sources run low.
How long does each treatment last?
Typically 30–45 days, though heavy rain, snow, or fast plant growth can mean reapplying a bit sooner.
When is the best time to start?
Spring is ideal to stop feeding habits before they start, but seasonal deer control can begin effectively at any time of year.
Will I have to sign a long-term contract?
No. We suggest a plan that fits your needs, and you choose the schedule and commitment level.
Are treatments safe for kids and pets?
Absolutely. Our natural, non-toxic formulas are safe once dry, so you can use your yard with peace of mind.
Deer can adapt quickly — but so can we. With ohDEER’s seasonal deer control, your gardens, shrubs, and trees stay protected all year.
