Protecting Your Flowers and Landscaping

Why Deer Love Nashoba Valley Gardens

Nashoba Valley’s patchwork of forests, fields, and landscaped properties creates the perfect environment for deer. Our gardens offer them an irresistible mix of food throughout the year:

• Spring and Summer – Tender new leaves, perennials, and blooming flowers are highly appealing.
• Fall and Winter – With fewer natural food sources, deer turn to evergreen shrubs, woody plants, and even tree bark.

This year-round browsing can cause significant damage, leaving plants stressed, stripped, and sometimes unable to recover.

Common Deer Favorites in Local Gardens:

• Hostas – Soft leaves make these a summer staple for deer.
• Roses – Buds and blossoms are irresistible.
• Daylilies – Flower stalks can vanish overnight.
• Hydrangeas – Vulnerable both in leaf and bloom.
• Coneflowers & Black-Eyed Susans – Loved by pollinators, but also by deer.
• Tulips & Daffodils – Especially targeted in early spring.

Without proactive measures, your hard work can be undone in just a few visits. That’s where ohDEER’s deer repellent for gardens steps in.

How Our Deer Repellent for Gardens Works

We go beyond a basic spray service — our approach is a behavior-changing deterrent system. Using a natural, plant-safe formula made from ingredients like peppermint oil, garlic, and egg solids, we make your plants unattractive to deer without harming them or your environment.

Our Process:

• Targeted Application – We mist leaves, stems, and buds that deer are most likely to eat.
• First Encounter – Deer sample the treated plant and find the taste and smell unpleasant.
• Conditioned Response – They learn your garden is not worth returning to.

The treatment dries quickly, withstands weather, and continues working between applications when maintained on schedule.

Safe for:

• Children playing outdoors
• Dogs, cats, and other pets
• Birds and rodents

No harsh chemicals, no harmful residue — just smart, eco-friendly protection.
