Keep the People and Pets You Love Safe — Without Harsh Chemicals

A backyard should be a safe place for play, relaxation, and family time — not a hunting ground for ticks. In Columbus and nearby towns like Dublin, Delaware, Worthington, and Powell, ticks stay active from early spring through late fall, hiding in grass, leaf piles, and shady corners while waiting for a host.

At ohDEER, we help protect the ones you love with tick control for pets that’s both safe and effective. Our treatments target the areas where ticks thrive, eliminating them without coating your property in harsh chemicals.

Whether your dog loves to patrol the fence line, your kids spend hours on the swing set, or you enjoy hosting backyard gatherings, we make it possible to use your yard freely — without the constant worry of bites or disease.

Why Tick Control for Pets (and Kids) Matters

Ticks don’t just make outdoor time uncomfortable — they can transmit dangerous illnesses that affect both people and animals. In central Ohio, cases are rising for:

  • Lyme disease — causes joint pain, fatigue, and neurological problems
  • Anaplasmosis — leads to fever, headaches, and muscle aches
  • Rocky Mountain spotted fever — potentially life-threatening if untreated
  • Ehrlichiosis — impacts pets and people, often bringing high fever and lethargy

Dogs are especially at risk because they explore shrubs, tall grass, and wooded edges where ticks wait for a host. Children face similar dangers when playing in grass, leaf piles, or shaded areas.

Just one bite can be enough to spread disease — which is why preventative tick control for pets is one of the most important steps you can take to keep your yard safe and your loved ones healthy.

Safe, Effective Tick Control for Pets and Outdoor Spaces

Our treatments use a plant-based formula made from essential oils such as cedarwood, lemongrass, and geraniol. These natural ingredients are proven to disrupt tick activity on contact, quickly reducing populations while keeping your lawn, gardens, and outdoor spaces safe for people, pets, and pollinators.

With ohDEER’s approach to tick control for pets, you get:

  • Immediate protection — works within hours of application, targeting ticks at all life stages.
  • Safe re-entry — pets and kids can return to the yard as soon as the spray dries, usually within 30–60 minutes.
  • No toxic residue — nothing harmful left on toys, patios, outdoor furniture, or play areas.
  • Targeted application — treatments focus on high-risk zones where ticks actually hide, instead of indiscriminate spraying.

We believe in precision, not oversaturation. Each treatment is carefully planned for maximum effectiveness, delivering strong, long-lasting tick control for pets while protecting the health of your family, animals, and the environment.

Where We Spray to Protect Your Family

Ticks have favorite hiding spots where they wait for a passing person or pet — and our technicians know exactly where to find them. When providing tick control for pets in Columbus, we focus on the areas most likely to put your furry companions and family at risk, ensuring treatments are targeted and effective.

Our team carefully treats:

  • Perimeter zones along fences, stone walls, and tree lines where ticks migrate from wooded areas.
  • Leaf litter, mulch beds, and damp shaded spots that offer the cool, moist conditions ticks need to survive.
  • Under decks, patios, and play structures where shade and stillness create prime hiding locations.
  • Around pet runs, kennels, and worn animal paths where ticks can easily latch onto dogs or outdoor cats.
  • Near garden beds, ornamental plants, and woodpiles that often shelter ticks while blending into the landscape.

By concentrating on these high-risk zones, ohDEER builds a protective barrier that dramatically reduces tick populations on your property. This focused approach to tick control for pets provides better results, longer-lasting protection, and peace of mind knowing your family and animals can enjoy the outdoors safely.
