Across the Piedmont, ticks thrive in leaf litter, brushy property lines, wooded corridors, and the damp edges of lawns near tree cover. They are more than just a nuisance because they can carry Lyme disease, ehrlichiosis, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and other tick-borne illnesses that affect both people and pets. Even everyday time outside can create exposure during the active season in Central Virginia.
Many homeowners first notice a tick problem after finding them on dogs, on socks, or on clothing after time in the yard. Common hiding spots include boxwood beds, hollies, liriope borders, mulch edges, and the shaded transitions where lawn meets woods or creek-side growth. If ticks are showing up on people or pets, they are likely already active on your property. When you choose ohDEER’s natural tick control in Central VA, you get a safer, smarter approach built for long-term protection.

Ticks often settle into outdoor spaces without drawing attention, especially along wooded edges, shaded beds, and fence lines near the back of the property. Our program helps reduce tick activity where they hide and breed, creating safer outdoor areas for family gatherings, pets, and everyday use.
We use a plant-based treatment to cover the parts of the landscape ticks favor most, especially boxwood beds, holly borders, and creek-side transitions behind the home. As that application settles in, it creates a deterrent barrier around mulch edges under mature trees, liriope borders, and brushy fence lines and helps make those areas less inviting over time.
We don’t believe in hiding behind hard-to-pronounce chemicals or using them in our products!
Yes. Professional natural tick control treatments can significantly reduce tick populations without harsh chemicals. At ohDEER, our plant-based tick sprays are safe for kids, pets, and pollinators while effectively disrupting the tick life cycle.
Ticks are active until the ground is completely frozen over, when they hibernate. They will become active again when the ground unfreezes.
A combination of natural tick control sprays and smart landscaping helps prevent ticks. Mow your lawn weekly, clear away leaves and brush, move woodpiles into sunny areas, and add a barrier of gravel or wood chips around your yard to reduce tick migration.
For best results, schedule tick yard treatments every 3 to 4 weeks during peak tick season. Consistent applications maintain protection and reduce the chances of a tick infestation taking hold on your property.
Ticks can transmit several tick-borne diseases, including Lyme disease, anaplasmosis, babesiosis, and Powassan virus. Regular tick prevention measures and quick removal of any attached ticks can help protect your family and pets from these illnesses.
If you’re finding ticks in the middle of your yard they were most likely brought there by a passing animal like a dog, cat, deer, rabbit, etc. We do not normally spray grass areas because as long as it is maintained, it will get too hot for the tick or mosquitoes to live and breed there.
