"John did a good job trying to resolve my bat in attic problem. He was very pleasant and professional to work with. Based on other discussions around price Permakill was reasonable. The work made sense but ultimately time will tell"

"Prompt, polite, and gave a thorough explanation of the measures he would be taking to address the yellow jacket issue."

"Johnny of PermaKil was really thorough, respectful of our house and super nice and informative. Definitely recommend them. We had yellowjackets in the house /attic."

"We had a nest full of very aggressive yellow jackets in our yard. Dan from Permakill came in a few days and the nest was gone! Bees, ants, mice…any time we call, Permakill comes promptly and resolves our issue. Highly recommend!"

Our Prevention Plan

The goal of our deer prevention plan from PermaKill Exterminating is to prevent deer from damaging your plants. The treatment consists of applying a product that leaves a bad taste and prevents deer from eating them. The cost is based on the frequency and number of plants treated. There is no contract and it can be started or stopped at any time you want.

Fall/Winter Program

We recommend monthly service October thru March though some customers want or require more or less services depending on their area. This is not a warrantied service.

We offer three plans depending upon the level of deer intensity in a neighborhood.

1. Moderate

We apply an all-natural product that is clear and leaves a spearmint scent. The scent lasts for maybe an hour. (Oct-Mar)

2. Heavy

We apply the clear product in Oct, Dec, Jan. Feb. and Mar. In November we apply a Thiram based product that will leave a light green film on the plants.

3. Intense

We apply the Thiram based product in Oct and Nov., again leaving a green film on the plants. Dec., Jan., Feb. and Mar., we apply the clear all natural product.

The professionals at PermaKill recommend option number 2. There are many factors that may cause damage to plants. If we have a bad winter, the possibility for deer damage greatly increases.

Both products contain a latex sticker which allows the product to remain on the plants after rain or snow and will not harm the plants.

We can advise you on which service you need based upon past deer activity in your neighborhood, the type of plants you have, or the amount of damage present when we begin the service. This approach is part of our effective New Jersey deer control strategy, tailored to the unique needs of each property.

Due to many mitigating factors, we are unable to warranty that the deer will not cause any future damage. There is no contract required for this service and you can cancel at any time. If you’re dealing with nuisance deer in New Jersey, PermaKill Exterminating is here to help.

Frequently Asked Questions

What damage can deer cause to my property in New Jersey?

Deer cause significant damage to landscaping, gardens, and ornamental plants by browsing on shrubs, flowers, and vegetables. They also rub their antlers against young trees, girdling bark and killing saplings. In addition, deer are the primary host for black-legged (deer) ticks, increasing Lyme disease risk on your property.

What are the most effective deer deterrents for residential properties?

The most effective options include physical exclusion fencing (8 feet tall for full protection), deer-resistant plant selection, motion-activated sprinklers, and professional repellent applications. A combination of strategies is typically more effective than any single method. PermaKill can assess your property and recommend the best approach.

Does deer repellent actually work?

Commercial and professional deer repellents can be effective—particularly those containing predator urine, capsaicin, or putrescent egg solids. However, repellents require regular reapplication and should be rotated to prevent deer from habituating to a single scent. PermaKill’s professional applications provide more consistent, longer-lasting results.

Is deer control in New Jersey regulated?

Yes. In New Jersey, certain deer management methods—including live trapping and lethal control—require permits from the NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife. PermaKill’s licensed wildlife control specialists operate fully within state regulations and will advise you on what’s legally available for your property type and situation.

How do deer ticks on my property increase Lyme disease risk?

Adult deer ticks use white-tailed deer as their primary reproductive host. Properties with frequent deer activity see significantly higher tick populations. Controlling deer access to your property through fencing, repellents, and habitat modification directly reduces tick populations and your family’s Lyme disease exposure risk.

What plants should I use to deter deer from my garden?

Deer-resistant plants include lavender, salvia, ornamental grasses, boxwood, barberry, and Russian sage. Deer generally avoid plants with strong fragrances, prickly textures, or fuzzy leaves. While no plant is 100% deer-proof under extreme hunger conditions, strategic planting significantly reduces browse damage.

Can I fence just part of my yard to deter deer?

Yes. Fencing high-value areas like vegetable gardens, ornamental flower beds, and newly planted trees with 8-foot deer fencing or double-fenced enclosures provides excellent protection without needing to fence an entire property. PermaKill can advise on cost-effective partial exclusion strategies tailored to your landscape.

How often does professional deer repellent need to be reapplied?

Professional deer repellent applications typically last 30–60 days depending on weather conditions and deer pressure. PermaKill recommends scheduled seasonal applications—particularly in spring (when browse damage peaks) and fall/winter (when natural food sources are scarce and deer pressure on landscaping is highest).
