Frequently Asked Questions

Stag Stop's repellent is all-natural and egg-based. We keep the exact formulation in house, but it is built to smell and taste unpleasant to deer while staying safe for your landscape when used as directed.

There is a light odor right after application that fades as the product dries. Deer keep noticing it long after people stop, which is exactly the point.

The repellent goes on foliage, not siding, walkways, or hardscape. Technicians work carefully around structures and hard surfaces to keep overspray to a minimum.

Yes, when used as directed. Keep people and pets off treated areas until the product has dried, which usually takes a couple of hours depending on weather.

A hard rain can shorten how long a treatment lasts. That is why we build rain and new growth into your schedule and come back sooner when conditions call for it.

No. The repellent is designed to protect the plants you want to keep, not damage them. It goes on the foliage deer browse, not into the plant itself.

Deer typically begin avoiding treated plants soon after application, once the scent and taste take hold as the product dries.

No, and we will not tell you otherwise. Stag Stop is a deterrent service, not eradication. We make your landscaping unappealing so deer are encouraged to feed somewhere else, but results depend on deer pressure, weather, and how fast your plants grow back.

Let us know right away. We will look at what happened, adjust the schedule, and treat any areas that were missed or have grown since the last visit.

We offer a separate rabbit repellent service for beds, vegetable gardens, and new plantings at ground level. Ask about adding it to your plan.

It does not fence, trap, remove, or relocate deer, and it does not promise a property with zero deer activity. It reduces browsing by making treated plants unappealing, and it works best alongside realistic expectations for your property's deer pressure.
