ohDEER and its
eco-friendly mission.

ohDEER is the leader in the rapidly growing all-natural pest control franchise industry. Consumers are begging the $20 billion pest control industry to provide an alternative to the harsh chemicals that traditional pest control companies apply and ohDEER is stepping up to the plate. Our products are safe for kids, pets and the environment and our one-of-a-kind Saturation Method provides more value for you and your clients. Our franchisees get up and running quickly with a low-cost investment, a proven training model, and a welcoming environment.

They’re motivated by the idea of growing their own business and working for themselves. They are willing to follow a proven system and want to contribute to a premium brand with premium services.

With franchise businesses you can always pick up the phone and get some counseling from somebody who’s been through it. That is a lot like the military, you always have mentors and other people that you can get advice from. Owning a franchise is like working for a big company, but you get the individual autonomy to grow in the way you want to grow your location.

It is a family-oriented franchise and I’ve got 4 kids. We have come such a long way since I first got into it, this is my 8th year renewing my franchise agreement. They are as honest as anything I’ve seen. To draw a parallel with the military, there is a lot of teamwork even though we are our own independent owners. There is teamwork, they are always looking out for us. With the other franchisees, whenever there is a problem or issue we all work together to make sure that we are all able to do a good business and make money together.

At ohDEER, we don’t just offer all-natural outdoor solutions—we live it! Our team and franchisees are passionate about spending time outdoors and creating safe, eco-friendly spaces for families to enjoy. Learn more about our journey, mission, and commitment to making the outdoors better for everyone.

Ever thought of owning your own business?

You’ve got the freedom to set your own hours, make your own decisions, and do something you actually enjoy. You’re also building financial independence and growing in ways a regular job just can’t offer.

Think of owning an ohDEER franchise as all of that, plus a ton of built-in support and a bonus: People already know and love ohDEER, so you’re not starting from zero. (Not even close!) Another bonus: The up-front costs are pretty low since it’s really just you, your equipment, and your truck so you can get started right away. No need to lease a space or pass a bunch of inspections and all that before you see a dime.

So is ohDEER the right one for you? Here are some of the top reasons we hear from our franchisees.

“With ohDEER I feel like I’m out doing some good in the world.”

90+%
of Millennials and Gen Z want eco-friendly and sustainable products.

The next generation of homeowners don’t make purchase decisions with just their wallets. They make them with their values.

This is true with Millennials, and even more true with Gen Z. If you are considering starting a business, the smartest move you can make is to think green. Choosing a company like ohDEER—which already has a strong reputation as an affordable, eco-friendly choice in pest control—just makes sense.

“I’m telling you, this is one business that’s not slowing down.”

2X
Tick-borne illnesses have more than doubled in the past twenty years.

And now, with the rise of viral diseases like Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE), backyards are becoming battlegrounds. Homeowners want these pests GONE, but they don’t want chemical pesticide sprays anywhere near their kids or pets.

Our customers are so relieved that ohDEER not only works, but it’s made with plant-based ingredients that are so safe, kids and pets don’t even need to go inside during the application. (They might follow you around, though.)

“I didn’t want to chase customers. With ohDEER I had recurring revenue pretty much right away.”

100%
all-natural advertising (you)

ohDEER isn’t a one-and-done business like house painting. Once people hire you, you’ve got recurring revenue, season after season.

And with your branded truck and backpack, you’re a walking advertisement. We hear all the time from our franchisees that they start working for one house, and before they know it, they’ve got the whole neighborhood.

“I didn’t want a desk job. Now I get to spend my day outside—what’s better than that?”

FACT
Working outside increases your happiness and mood!

And last but certainly not least, with ohDEER, you get to spend your time out in beautiful yards and gardens, in the fresh air and sunshine. And once you’re so successful you’re managing your own team? You can spend your day doing whatever you want!
