What is EHD?

EHD (Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease) is one of the most common diseases among Whitetail deer. EHD is contracted from biting midges and will typically kill a whitetail deer between 5 and 10 days. Outbreaks of EHD typically strike in late summer and early fall so act now.

Biting Midges typically live in or near water and wet, muddy areas. When Whitetail Deer come within distance of one of these Midges, the Midge will begin feeding on the deer which can lead to an EHD infection. Biting Midges generally do not go far from their breeding site. Egg batches contain 25-450 eggs which are banana shaped and can typically be found mud, decaying leaf litter, wet soil, and other vegetative materials. Biting Midges are a dangerous threat to your herd and it is crucial that you take action to prevent their attacks.

North American Whitetail Protection Services offers the nation’s leading solution to this problem. By protecting whitetail deer from all biting insects, we protect your entire investment from suddenly deteriorating.

How do we do it? We install fully-automated misting systems which are custom designed by our qualified professionals in order to protect your Whitetail herd. All systems are professionally and strategically installed to most effectively kill disease biting insects.

The protective mister system requires no work on your part. The system is completely automated and runs on a timer. Your professional consultant will recommend a misting schedule that is unique to your land. Your NAWPS installer will program the system to automatically release a fine mist of Permethrin insecticide during the scheduled times.

NAWPS uses a synthetic called Permethrin. Permethrin will protect your land and it’s inhabitants in the following ways:

• Fast Knockdown and Kill: Permethrin affects the insect’s central nervous system causing almost immediate knockdown of flying insects.
• Activation: In small amounts, Permethrin stimulates the insects to flush them from their hiding places, causing them to come in contact with higher concentrations, which increases the “knockdown and kill” effect.
• Avoidance: Even in the smallest amounts, Permethrin causes insects to flee the area.
• Double Whammy: Our Permethrin based system will not only take out the Biting Midges in the area, it will also kill any eggs.
