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.

Defending Against EHD

Real Hunters, Real Results
Clean Water Made The Difference
Attracting big bucks with water now is what food plots were in the past. All of the neighbors have food plots now, but not all of them have water. But not all water is created equal. Dead, muddy water can lead to EHD. That's why we treated our water holes with EHD-fense. What we didn't expect was how much more attractive clean water can be. This clean water was key to me harvesting this big buck!

The Best Big Buck Insurance You Can Buy
The efforts we make to grow big bucks are significant. But, one dry spell and an outbreak of EHD can kill them all. We treated all of our water this year with EHD-fense to make sure we didn't lose our bucks. Not only did our bucks survive, but they hammered our treated water sources. Thanks, EHD-fense for helping me bag this buck!

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.
