Deer behavior isn’t the same in every season — and your approach to controlling them shouldn’t be either.
In spring and summer, they nibble on tender new plants. In fall and winter, they switch to bark, stems, and evergreens. Without seasonal protection, your landscaping could become a year-round snack.
At ohDEER, we’ve created seasonal deer repellent plans designed for the unique conditions of Columbus, Ohio — ensuring your garden, shrubs, and trees stay protected no matter the time of year.
Protect new plantings, flower beds, and fresh growth.
As temperatures rise, your garden becomes irresistible to deer. This is the time of year when homeowners in Columbus notice sudden overnight damage to delicate blooms, young vegetables, and leafy greens.
Our spring and summer deer control treatments include:
We recommend starting your seasonal deer repellent plan early in the spring — before deer have a chance to form habits in your yard.
Defend trees, shrubs, and bark when deer get desperate.
As natural food becomes scarce, deer shift from gardens to woody plants. Evergreen shrubs, fruit trees, and even young bark become prime targets.
Our fall and winter deer deterrent service provides:
Whether you’re in a neighborhood like Worthington or Powell, or in a wooded suburb outside Columbus, this plan ensures your landscape isn’t left vulnerable during Ohio’s harshest months.
Full-year protection for homeowners who want complete peace of mind.
If your landscape is active year-round — or if you want a “set it and forget it” solution — our Annual Deer Repellent Plan is the way to go.
This plan includes:
Ideal for homeowners who grow seasonal flowers, evergreens, or maintain high-value landscapes in multiple seasons.
1. Do I really need deer repellent in winter? Yes — especially if you have evergreen shrubs, fruit trees, or young landscaping. Deer cause some of the most lasting damage in colder months when food is limited.
2. How long does each seasonal deer control application last? Each treatment typically lasts 30–45 days. During heavy rain or rapid plant growth, we may recommend more frequent reapplication.
3. Is there a best time to start? Spring is ideal, before deer establish feeding patterns. However, protection can begin in any season based on your property’s needs.
4. Will I have to sign a long-term contract? Not at all. Our plans are flexible and tailored to your yard. We’ll recommend a schedule — you choose how to proceed.
5. Are the treatments safe for kids and pets? Absolutely. All our seasonal deer repellent formulas are all-natural, non-toxic, and safe for families and wildlife.
Whether you want to stop deer from munching on your tulips in May or protect your arborvitae in January, ohDEER’s seasonal deer repellent services have you covered.
We proudly serve homeowners throughout Columbus, as well as nearby communities like Delaware, Dublin, Powell, and Worthington.
