Your Backyard Should Be for Bare Feet — Not Bug Bites

If you’re raking leaves, setting up a swing set, or just tossing a ball with the dog, your yard should feel safe — not like a game of tick roulette. But here in Nashoba Valley, yards are one of the top places where families and pets come face-to-face (or paw-to-leg) with ticks.

These tiny terrors love damp leaf litter, tall grass, shady tree lines, and forgotten corners under the deck. If your property in Acton, Bolton, Harvard, Hudson, or Stow backs up to woods, has a brushy fence line, or includes a well-loved patio space — chances are good you’ve got tick activity right where your family hangs out.

That’s why ohDEER offers natural tick control for yards that’s tough on pests — and gentle on everything else. No toxic chemicals. No “keep off the grass” signs. Just safe, smart yard treatment that lets you enjoy your outdoor space without the itchy aftermath.

The Risk Is Real — But It’s Treatable

Ticks might be tiny, but the problems they bring are anything but small. These pests are known to spread serious diseases like Lyme disease, Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE), Anaplasmosis, and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever — right in your own backyard.

And they don’t just target humans. Dogs, outdoor cats, and even backyard chickens can become unwitting tick taxis. In fact, many pet owners first spot the problem when they’re pulling ticks off their dog’s ears or between their toes after a run through the grass.

That’s where ohDEER comes in. Our tick spraying for yards helps break the cycle by targeting the spots ticks love most — before they ever reach your family or your four-legged friends.

Our Natural Tick Control Approach: Targeted, Thorough, Trusted

We don’t just mist and dash. Our team uses a strategic yard treatment process to knock out ticks where they live, breed, and wait for their next meal.

Here’s what we cover in a standard tick control for yards visit:

  • Perimeter zones and wood lines
  • Under decks and around foundations
  • Leaf piles and shaded mulch beds
  • Play structures, dog runs, and fences
  • Firewood stacks and shaded patio corners

We also apply our spray 6–10 feet up into trees and bushes — because ticks don’t just stay on the ground.

The best part? Our spray is made from powerful, plant-based ingredients like cedarwood, lemongrass oil, and geraniol — completely safe for kids, pets, pollinators, and the planet.

Choose Your Plan: CONTROL vs. CONTROL+

We know every yard is different, so we offer two treatment options depending on how much tick pressure you’re dealing with.

CONTROL

Our standard spray program, applied every 4 weeks from spring through fall. It eliminates ticks on contact and creates a natural barrier around your yard.

CONTROL+

All the benefits of CONTROL — plus an extra layer of protection using a granular tick deterrent applied around the property perimeter. Great for wooded properties or high-traffic areas in places like Acton or Stow.

Need help deciding? No worries — we’ll assess your property and recommend the best plan based on size, layout, and tick activity.

Help Your Yard Help You: Pro Tips for Tick Prevention

Our natural tick spray does the heavy lifting, but a few smart habits go a long way toward boosting results:

  • Mow weekly — ticks love tall grass
  • Clear brush and leaf litter — especially near fence lines and wooded edges
  • Reduce standing water and dense vegetation
  • Keep play areas tidy — ticks thrive in cool, damp, forgotten corners

Together with your yard treatment plan, these steps help create an environment ticks just don’t want to mess with.
