Ticks Are a Public Health Concern, and a Yard Problem

Ticks aren’t just a nuisance. They’re one of the most dangerous pests in North America, transmitting diseases like Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, ehrlichiosis, and anaplasmosis. In the U.S., ticks transmit more illnesses to people and pets than any other arthropod.

Unlike mosquitoes, ticks don’t need standing water to thrive — they live in the leaf litter, brush, and wooded edges right in your backyard, waiting for a host to walk by. That means even a short trip through your own yard can put your family and pets at risk during peak tick season.

Our Tick Yard Treatment Starts with Knowing Where Ticks Hide

Not sure if you have ticks in your yard? The most telling signs are ticks found on pets or family members after time outside, especially near wooded edges, garden borders, or shaded areas. If you’re seeing them on people, they’re almost certainly in your yard.

LEARN MORE ABOUT WHERE TICKS HIDE

When you choose ohDEER’s natural Tick Control Services, you’re choosing:

  • A 100% plant-based tick yard treatment — no synthetic pesticides
  • Professional tick spraying services applied every four weeks
  • Targeted coverage of the areas where ticks actually live and hide
  • A tick control service trusted by families and pet owners across the region

ohDEER’s approach is simple: safe ingredients, smarter timing, and long-lasting protection.

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

Oh Deer is a tick, mosquito and deer prevention service that is applied to our yard every 4 weeks. Bob is wonderful to work with. He walked the property with me to ensure he is treating the areas where I walk the dog and play fetch. It’s a huge relief not to worry about ticks and mosquitoes and to be able to enjoy some outdoor living.

I was so pleased to find Oh Deer!  I appreciate that their products to repel ticks and mosquitoes are all natural and not chemicals.  The yard remains a safe and pleasant place for my family, pets, and wildlife.  The service was provided promptly, professionally, and “as promised.”
Laura Casey
Excellent company, Bob Gaska is a great communicator and very personable.  We have our property sprayed for ticks and mosquitos, and the result is incredible!  So important with our young children who like to play outside!
Jeffrey Swanson
I can’t express enough how delighted I am with the exceptional service provided by ohDEER. Living in an area prone to mosquitoes and ticks and having three kids and a dog that love to spend time outside, I’ve tried various solutions over the years, but none have been as effective and reliable as this company. The owner Bob who came to my home was not only professional but also extremely knowledgeable and friendly.  He took the time to inspect my property thoroughly, identifying potential breeding grounds and explaining the treatment process in detail.  It was nice seeing him applying the product without having to wear a hazmat suit or a respirator. Almost immediately, there was a noticeable reduction in mosquito activity around my property.  We went from a couple ticks a week on our kids and dog to ZERO ticks this entire summer.
RJ Ciardi
Great service. We like that it’s all natural. Haven’t had a tick or mosquito issue this year at all. The application is quick and not intrusive. Very happy with Oh Deer! With a daughter and two dogs who love to roam around outside, we needed a safe and dependable mosquito/tick control company. The Owner, Bob Gaska, was very knowledgeable, prompt, and informative. Highly recommend using ohDEER if you are looking for help keeping your yard mosquito and tick free!

See What’s in Our Natural Tick Control Repellent

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:
This sounds scary, but it’s a naturally occurring compound found in coconut oil, and mosquitoes and ticks hate it!

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.
