Take Back Your Outdoor Space — Naturally and Effectively

Summer evenings in Columbus should mean cookouts, family games, and quiet time on the patio — not itchy bites, constant swatting, and retreating indoors. Unfortunately, mosquitoes have a way of turning even the nicest backyard into a place you avoid.

In neighborhoods across Columbus, Dublin, Delaware, Worthington, and Powell, these pests thrive in warm, humid weather and multiply quickly. All it takes is a little standing water, dense vegetation, or shady corners, and a small mosquito problem can explode into an infestation.

That’s why homeowners trust ohDEER’s mosquito control for yards — an all-natural, plant-based solution that knocks down mosquito populations quickly and keeps your outdoor space safe for kids, pets, and pollinators.

Why Columbus Yards Attract Mosquitoes

Mosquitoes don’t pick their hiding spots at random — they’re experts at finding ideal conditions for survival. Unfortunately, even a beautiful, well-kept lawn can have all the things they need.

Common mosquito-friendly features include:

  • Standing water in birdbaths, clogged gutters, kiddie pools, flowerpots, or even a bottle cap left outside.
  • Dense shrubs and garden beds that trap moisture and create shaded hiding spots.
  • Shady areas under decks, porches, or near fences where mosquitoes rest during the day.
  • Tall grass and brush that offer protection from wind and sun.

In summer, a single female mosquito can lay hundreds of eggs every few days. Without regular mosquito control for yards, populations can grow fast — making your space uncomfortable and potentially unsafe.

The Hidden Risks: Why Mosquito Control Matters

While most people think of mosquitoes as annoying, they’re also one of the most dangerous insects in the world. In Ohio, mosquitoes can transmit:

  • West Nile Virus – Can cause fever, fatigue, and neurological issues.
  • Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) – A rare but serious virus affecting humans and animals.
  • Heartworm in dogs – A potentially deadly condition if untreated.

Children, seniors, and pets are particularly vulnerable, but anyone can be at risk. By investing in mosquito control for yards, you’re not only improving your comfort — you’re helping protect your family’s health.

How ohDEER Treats Your Yard

Our process is more than just a quick spray. We take a targeted, strategic approach to make sure mosquitoes don’t have anywhere left to hide or breed.

Our technicians will:

  • Spray 6–10 feet up into trees, shrubs, and vegetation where mosquitoes rest.
  • Treat shady, humid areas under decks, patios, and near foundations.
  • Cover high-traffic spots like playsets, dog paths, and garden edges.
  • Inspect your property for breeding areas and recommend simple changes to prevent future infestations.

Every treatment uses a 100% plant-based formula with essential oils like lemongrass, cedarwood, and geraniol — powerful against mosquitoes but safe for people, pets, and pollinators.

Mosquito Control Plans for Every Yard

No two properties are exactly the same. That’s why ohDEER offers two flexible options for mosquito control for yards in Columbus, Dublin, Delaware, Worthington, and Powell.

  • All-natural mosquito spray every 4 weeks
  • Fast-acting formula — kills mosquitoes on contact

  • Ideal for most residential yards

CONTROL+ Plan

  • Everything in the CONTROL Plan
  • Plus: Granular perimeter barrier treatment for extra protection

Simple Ways to Boost Your Results

While our mosquito control program is highly effective on its own, pairing it with a few smart yard care habits can make it even better:

  • Dump standing water every 2–3 days from birdbaths, toys, and containers.
  • Keep grass trimmed and edges neat to reduce resting spots.
  • Avoid scented lotions and perfumes before spending time outdoors — mosquitoes love sweet, floral scents.
  • Add natural deterrents like lemongrass, citronella, and rosemary to your landscaping.
  • Use light-colored outdoor décor — mosquitoes are more attracted to dark colors.

These small steps help maintain lower mosquito populations between treatments.
