Finally, a way to prevent EHD (Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease) in deer.
Prevents EHD in your deer.
Stop EHD in Deer
by Treating the Water They Drink
Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease (EHD) is one of the most devastating viral threats to whitetail deer. The aquatic midge that carries this disease thrives in stagnant, nutrient-rich water sources. These midges cannot compete with aquatic life present in healthier aquatic ecosystems. The best way to prevent EHD is to improve water quality and support the organisms that keep midge population in check.
EHD-fense™ is the first all-natural water treatment kit specifically designed to prevent EHD in whitetail deer by restoring balance to your water sources.
The Midge Has Met Its Match
Our three-part system targets the root cause of EHD transmission: unhealthy, stagnant water.
1. Catapult™
Speeds up decomposition of organic materials and reduces muck, the primary breeding ground for EHD-carrying midges.
2. LiveWater™
Boosts biological nutrient removal to improve water quality and foster a healthy microbial ecosystem.
3. D-Muck™
Probiotic pellets that digest organic material to eliminate muck where midges thrive.

“Are you tired of losing deer every year to EHD? You are not alone. EHD outbreaks are increasing in both frequency and severity. The best defense is a healthy water source...”
The EHD-fense "Healthier Water, Healthier Deer" Guarantee
We guarantee that treating the water sources on your property with the EHD-fense "Water Treatment Kit" will reduce the potential for EHD by improving the water quality and allowing beneficial invertebrates and insects to outcompete the EHD midge.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is EHD?
Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease is a viral illness transmitted by midges. It causes high mortality in whitetail deer, especially in warm, dry seasons.
How does EHD-fense prevent it?
By improving water quality, reducing muck, and restoring healthy microbial ecosystems, EHD-fense allows aquatic life to thrive which outcompetes the EHD-carrying midge. It also removes muck, the breeding ground midges rely on.
Is EHD-fense safe for wildlife?
Yes. The ingredients are all-natural and safe for deer, birds, other wildlife and the environment.
How large of a water source does one kit treat?
One kit treats a 2,500-gallon pond or five 500-gallon water sources for five months.
