What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Deer Solution Franchise Disclosure Document, the 'Approved Services and Products' for a Deer Solution business encompass all-natural deer repellent services and deer damage control for residential and commercial landscapes. These services utilize Deer Solution's proprietary pesticides, along with other programs, materials, equipment, products, and supplies designated by the company, which are referred to as 'System Supplies'.
Deer Solution franchisees are required to purchase these 'System Supplies' exclusively from Deer Solution, its affiliates, or designated approved suppliers. This ensures consistency and quality control across all franchised locations. Franchisees are permitted to offer and provide the 'Approved Services and Products' only at customer locations within their designated operating territory.
The FDD also states that the services and products offered by a Deer Solution franchise may be seasonal, depending on the location of the operating territory. The services are provided outdoors and are dependent on favorable weather conditions and seasonal issues. Prospective franchisees should consider the potential impact of seasonality on their business operations and revenue.
