140% Jump in Reported Deer Damage Signals a Difficult Summer for Residential Landscapes
Parsipanny, United States - July 15, 2026 / Deer Solution /
Parsippany, NJ - Deer Solution has recorded a 140% increase in homeowner-reported deer damage during the spring season, with demand for its professional deer repellent service continuing to rise into July as property owners seek to protect shrubs, flowers, gardens, and ornamental landscapes.
The increase follows a recognizable seasonal pattern. As summer heat and dry conditions reduce natural food and water sources in wooded areas, deer migrate into residential neighborhoods where irrigated lawns and garden beds remain green. That shift leaves hostas, perennials, young trees, and other vulnerable plantings exposed to browsing at the same time homeowners are investing the most time and money into their landscapes.
Damage often appears overnight. Plants that looked healthy one evening can be stripped bare by morning, and repeated feeding tends to draw deer back to the same yards throughout the season. Do-it-yourself sprays can be inconsistent and easy to neglect, which is one reason more property owners are turning to recurring professional treatments to maintain consistent coverage.
"We expect summer deer damage to remain a major issue into July and throughout the summer season. As heat and dry conditions put stress on natural food and water sources, deer are drawn to lush, irrigated residential landscapes. That makes flowers, shrubs, gardens, hostas, trees, and ornamental plants especially vulnerable to deer browsing damage, which is why more homeowners are turning to Deer Solution and our professional deer repellent service," said Kris Goodrich, CEO, at Deer Solution.
Deer Solution develops a customized treatment plan for each property based on its plants, layout, and level of deer pressure. Trained technicians apply an all-natural repellent that is family, pet, and environmentally friendly on a recurring schedule, typically about once a month. The repellent is formulated to make treated plants less appealing to deer and to help shift feeding habits over time, encouraging deer to seek food elsewhere.
The company is straightforward about the limits of repellent-based service. No treatment can prevent deer from entering a property entirely. The objective of consistent, scheduled applications is to reduce browsing activity and help protect the flowers, shrubs, and garden beds that homeowners have worked to cultivate, rather than to eliminate deer from the surrounding landscape.
Homeowners looking to protect their landscape ahead of peak summer browsing can schedule a free, in-home estimate at deersolution.com or by calling (888) 503-8313.
