Ticks Are a Public Health Concern, and a Yard Problem

Across North Kansas City and the surrounding Northland, ticks thrive in leaf litter, brushy lot lines, wooded creek edges, and dense shade behind homes. They are more than an outdoor nuisance because they can carry illnesses that affect both people and pets, especially on properties with wildlife traffic moving through green corridors. Even ordinary time outside can increase exposure during the active months.

Our Tick Yard Treatment Starts with Knowing Where Ticks Hide

Most homeowners first notice ticks after finding them on dogs, clothing, or bare skin after time in the yard. In North KC, common trouble spots include hosta beds, daylily borders, low evergreens, and the rough edges where lawn meets timber or drainage areas. If ticks are showing up on people or pets, they are likely already established on the property. When you choose ohDEER’s natural tick control in North KC, you get a safer, smarter approach built for long-term protection.

When you choose ohDEER, you’re choosing:

  • 100% plant-based tick yard treatment with no synthetic pesticides
  • Professional tick spraying services applied every four weeks
  • Targeted coverage for the areas where ticks actually live and hide
  • Trusted tick control service for North KC families and pet owners

Tick season isn’t what it used to be. Warmer winters mean ticks are active longer, and in more places, than ever before.

Add Tick Control to Your North KC Yard Protection Program

Ticks usually move into the parts of the yard that stay quiet and shaded, especially along fence lines, brushy borders, and wooded corners. Our program helps reduce tick activity where they hide and breed, creating more comfortable outdoor areas for pets, family time, and backyard use.

How Our Natural Natural Tick Control Works

The service works by coating ornamental grass borders, low shrub beds, and creek-side fence lines with a plant-based formula that helps repel ticks naturally. That treatment creates an unappealing barrier around brushy lot edges, mulch beds under shade trees, and travel corridors around the yard, so high-risk parts of the property get proactive coverage instead of reactive spot treatment.

NATURALLY EFFECTIVE, PLANT-BASED INGREDIENTS
NATURALLY EFFECTIVE, PLANT-BASED INGREDIENTS
The treatment is built around cedarwood oil, lemongrass oil, and castor oil, all chosen for their plant-based deterrent qualities. That combination works especially well on North Kansas City properties near wooded creek lines, prairie edges, and shaded suburban lots properties where ornamental grasses, daylilies, boxwoods, and suburban border plantings sit close to wooded or brushy edges.
KID AND PET-FRIENDLY
KID AND PET-FRIENDLY
The formula is safe for kids and pets immediately during and after application, with no harmful residue. We simply recommend allowing it to dry before normal use to avoid tracking it onto shoes or clothing, as it may stain. It is also safe for aquaculture around creek corridors, ponds, and backyard water features.
WHERE WE SPRAY
WHERE WE SPRAY
Ticks hold tight to cover, moisture, and low vegetation, which is why we focus on the edges rather than just open grass. On North KC properties, that usually means the following priority zones:
  • Creek-side edges and wooded borders
  • Ornamental grass and low shrub bed lines
  • Mulch pockets beneath mature trees
  • Brushy corners along fences or sheds
  • Paths used by kids, pets, and guests

We don’t believe in hiding behind hard-to-pronounce chemicals or using them in our products!

ACTIVE INGREDIENTS
LEMONGRASS OIL:
LEMONGRASS OIL:
Lemongrass oil contains citronella, a natural insect repellent that works by masking odors that attract insects so it’s harder to locate their human or animal target!
GERANIOL:
GERANIOL:
This plant-based compound is made of geranium and citronella and, like lemongrass oil, interferes with a tick’s ability to locate its host.
CASTOR OIL:
CASTOR OIL:
Bugs hate both the scent and texture of castor oil.
SODIUM LAURYL SULFATE:
SODIUM LAURYL SULFATE:
A common ingredient in dish soap and shampoo, SLS helps the repellent spread evenly across surfaces to ensure proper distribution.
CORN OIL:
CORN OIL:
Corn oil serves as a “carrier” for the other active ingredients, ensuring even application and adhesion.
INERT INGREDIENTS
WATER:
WATER:
We use fresh water to dilute the repellent so it’s easier to apply.
SOAP:
SOAP:
Soap is needed to emulsify the oil-based active ingredients in water for consistent mixture.
OLEIC ACID:
OLEIC ACID:
This fatty acid found in olive oil acts as a stabilizing agent.
1-MONOLAURIN:
1-MONOLAURIN:

Frequently Asked Questions

Are natural tick sprays effective? toggle answer box

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.

Do ticks die in the winter? toggle answer box

Ticks are active until the ground is completely frozen over, when they hibernate. They will become active again when the ground unfreezes.

How can I prevent ticks in my yard naturally? toggle answer box

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.

How often should I get my yard treated for ticks? toggle answer box

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.

What diseases do ticks carry? toggle answer box

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.

Why am I finding ticks in the middle of my yard? toggle answer box

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.
