Deer Solution

So many business owners struggle with doing all the jobs necessary to run a thriving business.
Deer Solution works hard to make sure our franchisees feel supported. Our back-end support means that
franchisees are spending their time out in the field, working with customers and building relationships
within the community to grow their business, instead of being stuck in the office playing phone tag
following up on leads and closing sales, or stuffing bills into envelopes. Best of all, we've been in the
deer control industry for over 40 years and offer our franchisees an unmatched level of knowledge in the
industry.
Deer Solution is a home-based service business in an underserved and fragmented market. Our
Repellent Service is needed year round to protect landscapes from deer damage, using our all natural
proprietary spray. Our turn-key operation comes with lots of Back-End Support. No more worrying about
customer support, billing or closing sales, and our thorough training programs for franchisees will not
only provide certification but will prepare them for success in their business.
WHY Deer Solution?
