Natural Tick Control Services That Protect Your Family

Ticks are tiny, but the health risks they carry are huge. ohDEER’s all-natural Tick Control Services create a barrier that repels ticks from your lawn and outdoor spaces, applied every four weeks by trained technicians. Because the best tick protection starts before a bite ever happens.

Ticks Are a Public Health Concern, and a Yard Problem

Ticks aren’t just a nuisance. They’re one of the most dangerous pests in North America, transmitting diseases like Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, ehrlichiosis, and anaplasmosis. In the U.S., ticks transmit more illnesses to people and pets than any other arthropod.

Unlike mosquitoes, ticks don’t need standing water to thrive — they live in the leaf litter, brush, and wooded edges right in your backyard, waiting for a host to walk by. That means even a short trip through your own yard can put your family and pets at risk during peak tick season.

Our Tick Yard Treatment Starts with Knowing Where Ticks Hide

Not sure if you have ticks in your yard? The most telling signs are ticks found on pets or family members after time outside, especially near wooded edges, garden borders, or shaded areas. If you’re seeing them on people, they’re almost certainly in your yard.

LEARN MORE ABOUT WHERE TICKS HIDE

When you choose ohDEER’s natural Tick Control Services, you’re choosing:

  • A 100% plant-based tick yard treatment — no synthetic pesticides
  • Professional tick spraying services applied every four weeks
  • Targeted coverage of the areas where ticks actually live and hide
  • A tick control service trusted by families and pet owners across the region

ohDEER’s approach is simple: safe ingredients, smarter timing, and long-lasting protection.

Tick season isn’t what it used to be. Warmer winters mean ticks are active longer, and in more places, than ever before.

Your service has been great and I feel that the mosquitoes and ticks were well controlled. My family was able to enjoy our backyard at night without much of a worry and I RARELY found mosquitoes in our house. This was a HUGE difference from last summer… we truly believe your company/product is very effective and are grateful it is safe for our children and dog. We look forward to working with you again next season!
Laurie
We’ve been using oh deer for several years now and have had nothing but positive experiences. They are professional and go the extra mile. Last time they were out they noticed an area where water tends to pool so the tech took it upon himself to spray extra there and really saturate the area to prevent mosquitoes without me even asking! In addition to the great service, the products work. We live in a heavily wooded area and never see ticks. Great company. Great product.
Ryan M
I was skeptical at first but the product they use is so effective! We have dogs and a small child and it is nice to have peace of mind knowing their products are safe as well. Our yard was full of ticks until the first treatment from Oh Deer and we then had a tick and mosquito free yard all summer long! Also the owner and staff are very nice and have great customer service! It is worth every penny! I have recommended them to my neighbors and friends and family. We will be sure to use them for years to come. Very satisfied!!!

Since we started using OH DEER, we have seen and felt almost NO mosquitoes! Before starting the service, we pulled a few ticks off our puppy. Now, none! I love that the application is environmentally friendly, not poisonous for our puppy and wildlife and dries quickly. We live on the edge of wetlands and across from a state park. This has worked amazingly well!
Lynda
We have our two youngest grandchildren here with us often and, primarily for that reason, don’t wish to have them pick up ticks playing in our yard. Over four years now our youngest is the only one who had a tick and he got that laying down in the field beside our property owned by Conservation. Prior to having ohDeer spray we often picked ticks off of both kids. Their service is great!
Steve D
Before we hired ohDeer, our puppy would come inside with at least 1 tick every time he strayed into the woods around our house. It was miserable. After an initial spray we immediately noticed a… reduction, and then Jay organized for a top-up treatment. Since then we’ve kept regular 1x month treatments and don’t have issues with ticks. And just before hosting our first bbq this summer, they made sure to squeeze in another top-up treatment to help make sure our guests and their dogs wouldn’t have to worry about ticks during their visit. We’ve really appreciated their professionalism, responsiveness, and just generally making things easy for us to enjoy our new home. Jay and his technician, Ryan, have been so helpful.
Mae M
ohDeer has been treating my property for mosquitoes and ticks for over 5 years now and we couldn’t be more satisfied.  The product they use is safe for all family members and pets and… their employees are all the utmost professionals!  You provide an amazing service and thank you for taking care of our property!

Light tick pressure around a suburban yard? Our Control plan may be all you need. Wooded edges, heavy brush, or year-round concern? Annual Control provides uninterrupted protection across every season. Here’s how ohDEER keeps ticks off your property all year long.

CONTROL

ohDEER’s Tick Control provides regular applications of our all-natural tick repellent spray, keeping ticks off your lawn, away from your family, pets, and property.

ANNUAL CONTROL (Most Popular!)

Continuous tick control across all seasons, including fall and winter applications to eliminate overwintering tick populations before they emerge in spring.

Every four weeks, year-round.

See What’s in Our Natural Tick Control Repellent

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.
