ohDEER’s eco-friendly Tick Control Services use plant-based ingredients to repel ticks from your yard — no synthetic pesticides, no harmful residues. Our Tick Yard Treatment doesn’t just get rid of ticks; it creates a protective barrier that ticks avoid, keeping your outdoor spaces safe throughout the season.
We don’t believe in hiding behind hard-to-pronounce chemicals or using them in our products!
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.
Ticks are active until the ground is completely frozen over, when they hibernate. They will become active again when the ground unfreezes.
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.
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.
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.
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.
