Protect Your Family and Pets from Ticks

Ticks are small, but the problems they cause are anything but. In Columbus and nearby towns like Dublin, Delaware, Worthington, and Powell, ticks thrive in backyards — especially in shaded, damp spots.

Fence lines, tall grass, woodpiles, and leaf litter create the perfect hiding places for these pests. Even if your lawn is well-kept, ticks can still move in from nearby woods or neighboring properties.

That’s why so many homeowners choose ohDEER’s tick control for yards — a natural, family- and pet-safe solution that kills ticks on contact and helps keep them from coming back.

Why Yard Tick Control Matters in Columbus

Ticks aren’t just an outdoor annoyance — they can carry dangerous illnesses that impact people and pets alike. Ohio’s tick population has been growing in recent years, and residential neighborhoods are seeing more bites than ever.

Ticks in the Columbus area can transmit:

  • Lyme disease
  • Rocky Mountain spotted fever
  • Anaplasmosis
  • Ehrlichiosis

Because ticks can attach unnoticed for hours, prevention is far more effective than dealing with bites after they happen. Whether your home is in a small neighborhood lot in Worthington or a larger wooded property in Powell, tick control for yards is one of the smartest investments you can make for your family’s health.

How Our Tick Control for Yards Works

Our approach to tick control is simple — target them where they live, and use safe, effective products to eliminate them.

We apply our all-natural treatment, made from essential oils like cedarwood, lemongrass, and geraniol, directly to high-risk areas, including:

  • Perimeter zones and shady fence lines
  • Under decks, porches, and play structures
  • Around swing sets, patios, and garden beds
  • Inside mulch beds, leaf litter, and thick shrubs

By treating these tick hot spots and spraying into wooded edges, we create a protective barrier that reduces tick populations and keeps your outdoor spaces more enjoyable.

Tips to Keep Your Yard Tick-Free Between Treatments

To get the best results from your tick control for yards, pair your professional treatments with simple, consistent yard maintenance. These steps help reduce tick habitats and keep your property safer between service visits:

  • Keep grass mowed – Ticks thrive in tall grass. Mow regularly to make your yard less appealing to them.
  • Remove damp leaves and yard debris – Leaf litter holds moisture and creates ideal hiding spots for ticks.
  • Trim overgrown shrubs and branches – This increases sunlight and airflow, making the environment less hospitable for ticks.
  • Add mulch or gravel – Creating dry buffer zones around fences, play areas, and patios can deter tick movement.
  • Check pets and children daily – Especially after outdoor play, inspect for ticks in hair, ears, and under collars.

A clean, well-maintained yard not only supports the effectiveness of your tick control for yards but also helps keep your family and pets protected all season long.
