Ticks Are a Public Health Concern, and a Yard Problem

Across the northern Greensboro area, ticks thrive in leaf litter, pine-straw beds, wooded borders, and the damp transitions near streams and tree cover. They are more than a nuisance because they can carry illnesses that affect both people and pets, especially on properties where wildlife moves through the Piedmont landscape. Even routine time outside can create exposure during the active season.

Our Tick Yard Treatment Starts with Knowing Where Ticks Hide

Homeowners often discover a tick problem only after finding them on dogs, socks, or clothing after time in the yard. In Northern Greensboro, common hiding places include holly borders, liriope beds, camellias, and the rough edges where lawn meets woods or shaded drainage areas. If ticks are showing up on people or pets, they are likely already active on the property. When you choose ohDEER’s natural tick control in Northern Greensboro, 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 Northern Greensboro 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 Northern Greensboro Yard Protection Program

Ticks often settle into quiet, shaded parts of the yard, especially behind foundation plantings, fence lines, and wooded property edges. Our program helps reduce tick activity where they hide and breed, creating more comfortable outdoor areas for family gatherings, pets, and everyday yard use.

How Our Natural Natural Tick Control Works

Instead of simply treating visible activity, we apply a plant-based solution to holly borders, liriope edges, and mulch lines under mature trees and nearby transition areas. The goal is to leave azalea beds, brushy fence lines, and leaf-heavy corners around the property with a stronger deterrent barrier and none of the drawbacks that come with synthetic pesticides.

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 Northern Greensboro’s Piedmont lots with hardwood edges, creek cover, and shaded foundation beds, especially where hollies, azaleas, liriope, and Southern foundation plantings need consistent seasonal protection.
KID AND PET-FRIENDLY
KID AND PET-FRIENDLY
Daily routines stay simple with this service because there is no long waiting period after application. The treatment is safe for kids and pets during and after application, with no harmful residue. We just recommend letting it dry to prevent it from getting on shoes or clothing. It is also safe for aquaculture around ponds, creek beds, and backyard water features.
WHERE WE SPRAY
WHERE WE SPRAY
The middle of the lawn is rarely the real issue on Northern Greensboro properties. We spray the shaded margins, bed lines, and low-cover routes where ticks wait for people and pets to pass.
  • Hardwood edges and creek-side borders
  • Beds with hollies, azaleas, and liriope
  • Mulch lines beneath mature shade trees
  • Fence-line corners with leaf buildup
  • Walkways, play areas, and dog routes

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.
