Ticks Are a Public Health Concern, and a Yard Problem

From Beverly to Newburyport, ticks thrive in leaf litter, coastal woodlands, and overgrown edges near marshes and backlot tree lines. They are more than a nuisance because they can carry Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses that affect both people and pets. Even a quick trip across the yard can lead to exposure during peak season on the North Shore.

Our Tick Yard Treatment Starts with Knowing Where Ticks Hide

Many North Shore homeowners do not realize they have ticks until they show up on dogs, socks, or pant legs after time outside. Common hiding spots include arborvitae screens, hosta beds, shaded hydrangea borders, and the brushy edges behind patios and play areas. If ticks are appearing on people or pets, they are likely already established on your property. When you choose ohDEER’s natural tick control in North Shore, 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 Shore 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 Shore Yard Protection Program

Ticks often move into outdoor spaces without drawing attention, settling into shaded lawn edges, planting beds, and wooded corners near stone walls. Our program helps reduce tick activity where they hide and breed, creating more comfortable outdoor areas for everyday life on the North Shore.

How Our Natural Natural Tick Control Works

We use a plant-based treatment to cover the parts of the landscape ticks favor most, especially arborvitae screens, hosta beds, and shaded corners near old stone walls. As that application settles in, it creates a deterrent barrier around coastal tree lines, salt-marsh edges, and dense shrub borders around the yard and helps make those areas less inviting over time.

NATURALLY EFFECTIVE, PLANT-BASED INGREDIENTS
NATURALLY EFFECTIVE, PLANT-BASED INGREDIENTS
Botanical ingredients do the heavy lifting here: cedarwood oil, lemongrass oil, and castor oil all contribute to a plant-based deterrent formula. That makes sense for the North Shore’s stone-wall properties and coastal woodland lots, especially where arborvitae, hostas, hydrangeas, and other shade-heavy beds need consistent seasonal protection.
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 coastal ponds, marsh edges, and ornamental water features.
WHERE WE SPRAY
WHERE WE SPRAY
Where we spray depends on where ticks are most likely to stage and travel across the property. For homes in North Shore, we usually concentrate treatment in these high-risk areas:
  • Stone-wall borders and wooded lot lines
  • Shaded hydrangea, hosta, and arborvitae beds
  • Brushy transitions near marsh or tree cover
  • Low shrubs and leaf-heavy corners
  • Paths connecting patios, play space, and lawns

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.
