Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about deer control services in West Michigan, MI
Why does West Michigan need year-round treatment instead of just spring and summer?
Deer in West Michigan stay active through every season, and winter can actually increase the pressure on a property rather than easing it. When natural food sources are scarce or buried, deer often browse ornamental plants down close to the stem. Because of that, a treatment plan that continues through the colder months matters as much as one for spring and summer growth.
Are certain shrubs and plants more at risk from deer in West Michigan?
Yes. Arborvitae, hydrangea, burning bush, euonymus, and taxus yew are among the plantings that see the heaviest browsing pressure in this region. A Deer Damage Expert™ builds a treatment plan around what’s actually growing on your property, since a yard full of these vulnerable plants needs a different approach than one with less deer-preferred landscaping.
What towns and counties are included in the West Michigan service area?
Deer Solution’s West Michigan team serves Kent, Ottawa, Muskegon, Ionia, and Montcalm counties, including Grand Rapids, Wyoming, Grandville, Jenison, Hudsonville, Holland, Zeeland, Muskegon, Grand Haven, Spring Lake, Rockford, Lowell, Ada, Caledonia, Byron Center, Coopersville, Allendale, Greenville, and Belding. If your address isn’t on that list but is nearby, call 616-681-5486 to confirm coverage.
What kind of product does Deer Solution apply to protect my landscaping?
The repellent Deer Solution uses is proprietary and all-natural, formulated from essential oils and other ingredients recognized under the EPA’s 25(b) minimum-risk pesticide category. That means it is family-, pet-, and environmentally friendly. A built-in adhesive component lets it bond to leaves and stems for up to 45 days between visits, and it reaches a rain-fast state in about 15 minutes once dry. If rain beats the drying window, reapplication is part of the follow-up.
How often should I expect a technician on my property?
A West Michigan technician generally comes back every 30 to 40 days, though a property with heavier deer traffic in places like Ada or Rockford might need a tighter interval. It’s the ongoing rhythm of visits, not any single treatment, that keeps a yard’s shrubs and flowers less attractive to deer over time.
What’s the cost of ongoing deer treatments in West Michigan?
There’s no set price to quote over the phone. A Deer Damage Expert™ needs to see the property first to account for square footage, the specific shrubs and flowers involved, and the level of deer traffic in the area. That evaluation is a free, no-obligation in-home estimate; request one at deersolution.com or by calling 616-681-5486.
Does Deer Solution stand behind its work with any guarantee?
Yes. If a West Michigan customer isn’t pleased with the outcome, the team continues working on the property until they are, or drops the charge for the most recent regular treatment. That policy covers the service experience itself; it isn’t a claim that deer will never cross onto a treated property, since full exclusion only comes from something like a 10-foot fence.
Are Deer Ruining Your Landscape?
- Flower buds and new plantings eaten before they have a chance to bloom
- Spending thousands on landscaping, only to lose shrubs and perennials to hungry deer—particularly common Michigan favorites like Hosta, Arborvitae, and Lilacs.
- Wanting a garden to be proud of—but deer make it nearly impossible to keep your yard looking its best.
- Frustration from seeing neighbors’ landscapes thriving while deer focus on your property

Curb the Damage Now!
Deer herds are thriving throughout Grand Rapids, Holland, Muskegon, Rockford, and Lowell and the surrounding region. Homeowners and businesses frequently lose expensive landscaping, perennial beds, and young trees to deer browsing. The impact extends beyond just flowers—trees can struggle to recover from repeated deer damage, requiring homeowners to implement comprehensive shrub protection strategies to preserve their landscape investments. The result is disappointment, added expense, and less curb appeal—season after season.
