The Science of DeerTech
DeerTech's Three Circles of Protection creates an environment that is perceived as dangerous to deer by attacking all their senses. Here's how DeerTech's solution works:
Sound: Our patented ultrasonic units emit sounds that compare to the equivalent of a 747 jet to a deer. It is imperceptible to the human ear, but to deer, ultrasonic frequencies blocks their greatest natural defense-hearing. This is disconcerting to deer. But, in most cases, not enough to keep hungry deer from eventually eating if they continuously observe no predators in the area and learn to listen through the sound.
Sprays: Predator scents in combination with ultrasonic sound continue to make the deer feel unsafe eating in this area. Deer are built for speed and can simply outrun predators they hear sneaking up, particularly when they are strong (in the Spring, Summer, and Fall) and there is no snow or ice on the ground. But ultrasound in combination with sprays changes all of that. Deer smell a predator, but can't identify where the predator might be hiding or hear which direction they may strike from. This makes it unsafe for them to bury their eyes in your plants to eat. Additionally, using sprays on the plants make them taste undesirable to deer so the whole, now scary process of eating your tasty plants becomes outright unappealing.
Switch: Even the two circles of Sound and Sprays, while significant barriers, can be penetrated over time as smart deer learn to adapt. This is why DeerTech switches things up monthly to keep the deer off-balance. Deer are creatures of habit. They don't like changes in their environment. New smells and new sounds scare them. A DeerTech field technician visits your property monthly to observe and adjust accordingly the system depending on the season, weather changes, and changes in the deer behavior on your property. Changing the frequency of the ultrasound, spraying in a new place, or with a new scent creates a potentially dangerous environment that repels eating. It's important to understand that deer are as individual as people. It is up to the DeerTech field technician using their field expertise gained on hundreds of properties to identify your deer's behavior pattern and adjust the system to prevent the deer from destroying your plants.
