The ohDEER Southern Nashville Tennessee franchise is bringing the brand’s All-Natural Deer, Rabbit, Tick, and Mosquito Control services to a new state! Owned by Hannah Hoffman and joined on this adventure by her husband, Eric, and their three sons, Kellan, Corbin, and Lenox.
For Hannah, becoming an ohDEER franchise owner represents an exciting return to entrepreneurship, an opportunity to build something meaningful in her community, and a way to create a family business centered around helping people enjoy more time outside.
“We are so excited to take this step with franchising ohDEER in Tennessee,” Hannah shared. “As a family, we are looking forward to building this brand locally, spending more time outside, helping other families spend more time outside, and having a business that we can use to teach our children the value of hard work.”
The launch of ohDEER Southern Nashville in Tennessee is an important milestone for both the Hoffman family and the ohDEER franchise system. The region’s climate, wildlife, growing communities, and outdoor lifestyle make it a natural fit for ohDEER’s services, and Hannah’s entrepreneurial background makes her well positioned to introduce the brand to a new market.
Hannah brings a decade of entrepreneurial experience to her new role as an ohDEER franchise owner. After spending years building her skills as an entrepreneur, she took what she describes as a “little detour” into software sales. That experience allowed her to strengthen her communication, relationship-building, and sales skills, but Hannah always felt drawn back to business ownership.
Now, she is ready to return to entrepreneurship by building ohDEER Southern Nashville and serving families throughout her Tennessee territory.
Franchise ownership gives Hannah the chance to operate a local business while benefiting from an established brand, proven service model, operational systems, marketing support, training, and a network of other owners who understand the opportunities and challenges that come with building a service-based business. Rather than starting an entirely new concept alone, Hannah will be able to combine her entrepreneurial experience and knowledge of the local market with the resources and support of the ohDEER franchise system.
The Hoffman family is happiest when they are active and outside. Playing baseball, boating, fishing, and enjoying other outdoor activities are all meaningful parts of their life together.
That lifestyle helped make ohDEER Southern Nashville a natural fit for their family. The brand’s mission of helping people “Enjoy More Time Outside” reflects something the Hoffmans already value in their own lives. They understand that a backyard, neighborhood, lake, sports field, or favorite fishing spot can become the setting for some of a family’s best moments.
Tennessee is known for its natural beauty. From wooded neighborhoods and rolling hills to parks, lakes, trails, gardens, and spacious residential properties, the outdoors are an important part of life throughout the state.
That outdoor appeal is one of the reasons people choose to live in the greater Nashville area. Families want to spend time in their yards, entertain on their patios, garden, play with their children, and enjoy time outside with their pets. However, deer and rabbit feeding or tick and mosquito activity can make it more difficult to enjoy those spaces.
White-tailed deer can be found throughout Tennessee, including in urban and suburban communities. According to the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency, the range of white-tailed deer has expanded to all 95 counties in the state. The agency also notes that deer are found in urban and suburban areas and can cause damage to ornamental plants and crops.
The mix of wooded areas, residential landscaping, and growing suburban communities around Nashville can create favorable environments for deer. Neighborhoods that border wooded land or other natural areas may provide deer with convenient access to shrubs, flowers, trees, and other valuable landscaping.
For homeowners, deer damage can be frustrating and expensive. A single night of browsing can undo weeks or months of work in a garden. Frequently targeted plants may struggle to recover, and homeowners can spend significant amounts of money replacing flowers, shrubs, and other landscape features.
ohDEER’s all-natural deer control services are designed to help protect plants and landscapes while allowing homeowners to continue enjoying the natural beauty surrounding their properties. Through ohDEER Southern Nashville, Hannah will have the opportunity to educate area homeowners about a service they may not have previously realized was available.
Ticks are another important concern for people who spend time outside in Tennessee.
Wooded and brushy areas, tall grass, leaf litter, stone walls, landscape borders, and transitions between lawns and wooded spaces can all provide favorable tick habitats. People and pets may encounter ticks while hiking or camping, but exposure can also happen much closer to home.
The Tennessee Department of Health tracks several vector-borne diseases in the state and advises that people who spend time outdoors may be at risk of tick bites, particularly around wooded and brushy areas. Tennessee is home to multiple tick species capable of transmitting disease.
The state’s long periods of warm weather also give families many opportunities to spend time outside. Children play in yards, homeowners garden, pets explore property edges, and families gather around patios, pools, and outdoor living spaces.
Those activities are part of what makes Tennessee an appealing place to live, but they can also increase the possibility of encountering ticks.
The recurring tick control programs available through ohDEER Southern Nashville are designed to address the areas of a property where ticks are most likely to live and travel. The service focuses on the perimeter of the property, landscape beds, wooded edges, ground cover, and other areas where tick activity may occur.
Warm temperatures and seasonal rainfall also make mosquito control relevant to homeowners in the Nashville area.
Mosquitoes need standing water to reproduce, and common residential features can quickly become breeding sites. Clogged gutters, birdbaths, children’s toys, plant saucers, tarps, buckets, drainage areas, and other containers may hold enough water for mosquito larvae to develop. For homeowners who enjoy grilling, entertaining, gardening, or relaxing outside, mosquito activity can turn an otherwise enjoyable yard into a space they avoid.
The greater Nashville area’s extended outdoor season makes this concern especially important. Families are not limiting outdoor activities to only a few weeks in the middle of summer. Patios, pools, playgrounds, parks, sports fields, and backyards can be used throughout much of the year.
That means homeowners may place a high value on services that help them use those spaces more comfortably and consistently. ohDEER Southern Nashville’s mosquito control service gives Hannah an opportunity to provide a recurring solution rather than relying on one-time treatments. Regular visits allow the service team to address changing property conditions throughout the season while helping customers identify and reduce potential mosquito breeding sites around their homes.
The connection between Tennessee and ohDEER goes beyond climate and wildlife. The market also fits the brand’s larger purpose. Tennessee residents have access to parks, trails, lakes, rivers, campsites, sports fields, gardens, and a wide variety of outdoor recreational opportunities.
Around Nashville, outdoor living is not limited to remote destinations. It is part of everyday life. People walk their dogs, work in their gardens, attend youth sporting events, gather with neighbors, and spend time with their families in their own backyards.
ohDEER was built around protecting those everyday outdoor moments. The company’s mission is not based on keeping people inside or making them afraid of the natural environment. It is about giving customers greater confidence in the spaces they already love.
Homeowners are increasingly thoughtful about the products and services they choose for their properties, particularly when children, pets, gardens, and outdoor living spaces are involved.
ohDEER has always provided all-natural solutions. That is not a new service option added to follow a trend; it is part of the foundation on which the company was built. The brand began with deer control and has expanded its services to All-Natural Rabbit, Control, and All-Natural Tick and Mosquito Control services.
The launch of ohDEER Southern Nashville Tennessee marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for the brand. The state’s outdoor lifestyle, widespread deer population, tick and mosquito concerns, residential growth, and strong sense of community create significant potential for the brand. With Hannah’s entrepreneurial experience and commitment to serving local families, ohDEER Southern Nashville will be well positioned to introduce the brand’s services and mission to a new audience.
ohDEER Southern Nashville will provide All-Natural Deer, Rabbit, Tick, and Mosquito Control services. These complementary programs are designed to help homeowners protect their landscapes and feel more comfortable spending time in their yards and other outdoor living spaces.
The area’s warm climate, wooded and landscaped properties, established deer population, tick and mosquito activity, residential growth, and outdoor lifestyle create a need for specialized property services. These conditions align closely with ohDEER’s mission of helping families enjoy more time outside.
