Red Bank Regional’s Carter Costic Repeats as National
Winner in Future Business Leaders Competition
New Jersey Deer Control
Expands Business with
‘DEER GUYS’
A leader in the deer repellent industry in New Jersey for almost 20
years, New Jersey Deer Control, LLC (NJDC) is excited to announce
its expansion into Long Island. Since the company opened, it has received
many inquiries and much interest from Long Island residents, and it
will now be able to service them with their new company "DEER GUYS." Although
it’s a new name, they will still be using the same tools and strategies
that earned NJDC its consistent success.
The white-tailed deer started to emerge as a nuisance about 30 years
ago in the Northeast, and now it is a scourge to many in the form of car crashes,
crop damage, overgrazing of our natural ecosystems, and, of course, the
destruction of property owners’ expensive, and often prized, landscaping.
Although some over-the-counter products exist to help homeowners’ battle
this costly issue, most are either ineffective, offensive smelling, non-resistant
to rain or all of the above.
New Jersey Deer Control’s patented, natural repellent, as well as the
white-tailed deer, has helped establish them as a leader in the industry,
boasting a customer base of more than 3,500 clients in New Jersey alone.
Additionally, in 2015, NJDC opened up New York Deer Control to protect
landscapes in the southern Hudson Valley region. This New York division
has also been met with great success and has set the blueprint for this
expansion into Long Island.

competition in 60 categories for high school students. Costic won for the
“Introduction to Information Technology” category.
The Red Bank Regional junior entered again this year, this time in the cyber
security category. The subject matter was different, but the result was the

thew Schmitt placed sixth nationally and was ninth last year, attesting further
to the quality of technology training at the Ridge Road school.
The national competition is a culmination of a series of testing in which
students must qualify to move on to the next level. The process began with regional
testing in December with top scorers moving on to the state level round.
In January of this year, he placed second nationally among 1,425 contestants
in the National Governors Association Cyber Competition.
"My experience with FBLA has only deepened my interest in cyber security,”
stated the Little Silver resident. “Thank you to my teachers and friends who
have encouraged me on my journey. My next step is to get Securi-

to understand more about cyber security and its direct uses in the
is increasingly more vital to face today's challenges. To me, cyber
security is fun at both an abstract level and a microscopic, practical
one. I can't wait to get my hands dirty thwarting intruders and
encourage real experience whenever possible. I can attribute much
of my knowledge to tinkering around with my own server (thanks
mom and dad for tolerating the noise) and constructing – and
breaking – different infrastructure."
Given the recent headlines about companies paying ransom
to retrieve databases and the hacking of government systems, the
need for sound cyber security has been elevated. It appears likely
“Carter and Matthew continue to amaze us,” said RBR technology
teacher Jeremiah Milonas. “They both work so hard and love
the subject matter. For both of them to place nationally two years in
two competitions is just tremendous. We are so proud of them and
look forward to seeing what they have in store next year."
