DeerTech featured in Westchester Times: Outsmarting Hungry Deer

June 13, 2008

Outsmarting Hungry Deer
Homeowners Concerned about Valuable Landscaping Investments

“The average deer density across Westchester is around 25 deer per square mile and may be higher than 50 deer per square mile in non-hunted areas,” said Kevin Clarke Regional Deer Biologist, for the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, after considering recent data. This fact is bad news for homeowners in Westchester, unless they take steps to protect their landscaping investment from hungry deer.

“The deer had been destroying my landscaping for years,” said Barbara Abrams, a Westchester homeowner. “It took a better solution to fencing or sprays to keep the deer from eating my plants. My garden now looks beautiful and I can plant flowers. I would have never invested again in landscaping without DeerTech.”

DeerTech provides “Three Circles of Protection”—a unique combination of patented ultrasound, a 12-month proprietary spraying program, and switching things up monthly to keep deer from adapting. Though the company states it is unknown exactly how much Westchester County homeowners spend on deer deterrents each year, it is known that fencing, spraying, and other one-track methods can be limited in their effectiveness.

August 25, 2006

Residents of the Westport-Weston area often spend hundreds, if not thousands of dollars, trying to prevent deer from invading their property and eating their plants and ruining their gardens.

In many cases, their preventive efforts don’t work.

DeerTech, which focuses solely on deer deterrence, can set up an DeerTech 880 unit (in or around gardens and landscaping) that emits a sound that is not pleasurable to a deer’s ears. (more…)
