Meet the Founder – Kevin Harvey

A Gardener First. A Problem-Solver Always.

DeerEx was founded by Kevin Harvey, a lifelong gardener with a passion for protecting nature and the plants we work so hard to grow. For Kevin, gardening has always been more than a hobby — it’s a way to unwind, connect with wildlife, and enjoy the beauty of a healthy, thriving outdoor space.

But for years, Kevin battled the same problems countless gardeners face:
Deer stripping young shoots overnight
Rabbits digging up border plants
Foxes marking lawns and pathways
Pigeons pecking at seedlings and vegetables

Nothing on the market felt truly effective, eco-friendly, or long-lasting. Many products were messy, poorly designed, or simply didn’t work.

So Kevin decided to fix the problem himself.

Where DeerEx Began

After years of testing formulas used by gardeners, Kevin launched DeerEx — a clean, safe, scientifically developed wildlife repellent that keeps gardens protected without harming animals, pets, pollinators, or the environment.

Today, DeerEx is trusted by gardeners, across the UK.

His mission was simple:

“Give every gardener the confidence that their plants, borders and vegetables will stay safe — without harming the wildlife we all enjoy watching.”
