In Montgomery County, ticks thrive along wooded borders, creek corridors, and leaf-heavy landscape beds near places like Rock Creek, Cabin John, and the Potomac corridor. They are more than an outdoor nuisance because they can carry Lyme disease, ehrlichiosis, and other tick-borne illnesses that affect both people and pets. Even a short walk through your own backyard can increase exposure during the busiest parts of the season.
Most homeowners first notice a tick issue after finding them on a dog, a child, or clothing after time outside. The most common hotspots are shaded boxwood beds, azalea borders, mulch lines, and wooded lot edges where moisture lingers. If ticks are turning up on people or pets, they are likely already active on your property. When you choose ohDEER’s natural tick control in Montgomery County, you get a safer, smarter approach built for long-term protection.

Every four weeks, year-round.
Ticks tend to settle into outdoor spaces quietly, especially along fence lines, shaded lawn edges, and wooded transitions behind the home. Our program helps reduce tick activity where they live and breed, creating more comfortable outdoor areas for family time, pets, and everyday use.
Rather than waiting for tick activity to move deeper into the property, we treat stream-valley borders, mulch beds under mature trees, and quiet fence-line corners with a plant-based formula that helps push pressure back toward the edges. The application dries into a protective barrier around boxwood beds, azalea borders, and leaf-heavy edges near Rock Creek and the Potomac corridor without leaving synthetic pesticide residue behind.
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.
