Protect Your Family and Pets from Ticks — Naturally and Effectively

Your backyard is more than just grass and shrubs — it’s where your dog plays fetch, your kids explore, and your family gathers in warm weather. But in towns like Wayland, Weston, Sudbury, Dover and Lincoln, backyards are also home to one of Massachusetts’ most dangerous pests: ticks.

With rising tick populations across the Metro West area, families are seeing more bites and greater exposure to tick-borne illnesses — even without venturing into the woods. That’s why so many local pet owners and parents trust ohDEER’s tick control for pets to create a yard that’s safer for both two-legged and four-legged family members.

Our treatment is eco-friendly, residue-free, and effective — so your kids and pets can keep playing outdoors without skipping a beat.

Why Tick Control for Pets (and Kids) Matters

Ticks might seem small, but they carry big risks. A single bite can transmit serious diseases, and children and pets are often the first to be exposed — especially in yards that aren’t regularly treated.

Common tick-borne illnesses in pets and children include:

  • Lyme disease – affects joints, nervous system, and behavior
  • Ehrlichiosis and Anaplasmosis – common in dogs, causing fatigue, fever, and joint pain
  • Rocky Mountain spotted fever – potentially severe in humans and dogs
  • Babesiosis – causes flu-like symptoms and can be difficult to diagnose

Dogs are particularly vulnerable since they explore brushy or shaded areas where ticks hide. And kids are often barefoot, playing on the lawn or sitting in grass — making tick control for pets and families essential for daily outdoor life.

Safe, Effective Tick Control for Pets and Outdoor Spaces

At ohDEER, we use an all-natural tick spray that’s made from plant-based ingredients like lemongrass oil, geraniol, and cedarwood. It’s tough on ticks — but gentle on everything else in your yard.

Here’s what makes our tick spray family-friendly:

  • Safe for kids and pets immediately after drying (no waiting period)
  • No chemical residue left on toys, lawn furniture, patios, or playsets
  • Pleasant scent from natural oils, not synthetic chemicals
  • Targets high-risk areas to create a wide, protective barrier around your home

Unlike chemical sprays, you won’t have to wait hours or restrict your pets after treatment. Our formula works fast — killing most ticks within 4 hours and nearly all within 24.

Where We Spray to Protect Your Family

Ticks tend to lurk in very specific places — especially those your pets and kids love to frequent. That’s why we focus our tick control for pets on areas that matter most for Metro West families:

  • Around dog runs and pet play areas
  • Beneath decks and shaded corners where ticks thrive
  • Around patios, swing sets, and outdoor seating
  • Along fence lines, garden edges, and woodpiles
  • In leaf litter and moist ground cover

By targeting the right spaces — not just spraying everywhere — we provide smarter protection that supports your family’s routines without interruption.
