ohDEER

The all-Natural option to traditional mosquito/tick treatments and deer repellant services.

Category: Pest Control

Concept Description

Founded in 2006, ohDEER is the leader in all-natural Deer, Tick and Mosquito Control solutions. The business started with Kurt Upham, the founder, mixing Deer Control solutions in his basement. He wasn’t satisfied with Deer Control repellents and his landscaping customers weren’t seeing the results they wanted. After some testing, he found a solution that really worked and word quickly spread around MetroWest, Massachusetts. Soon after, Kurt began using an all-natural tick and mosquito solution and the rest is ohDEER history.

Millennials are now the largest share of home buyers, according to the National Association of Realtors. Millennials and Gen Z are quickly making up more and more of the homeowner population and these generations are demanding natural solutions. ohDEER is ahead of the game as one of the only tick and mosquito franchises that is always all-natural. Everything we use is safe for you, your kids and your pets so you can Enjoy More Time Outside!

Our customers love us and they’re not afraid to share that with friends and family, and online! That’s our model – support your marketing efforts with an amazing customer experience so you keep those customers year after year. Unlike other home service franchises, you’ll never start the season from scratch!
