Buy an ohDEER All Natural Pest Control Franchise

ohDEER All Natural Pest Control is a home-based outdoor pest control franchise specializing in all-natural deer, rabbit, tick, and mosquito control for residential properties. Founded in 2006 in Wayland, Massachusetts by Kurt and Colleen Upham and franchising since 2014, the brand remains family-led and built around chemical-free, plant-based treatments marketed as safe for children, pets, and the environment.

The business runs on two core service lines: spring and summer tick and mosquito treatments, and fall and winter deer and rabbit repellent applications on targeted plantings. This seasonal pairing is designed to produce year-round, recurring revenue in a category many competitors treat as purely seasonal. Franchisees operate locally owned territories using the brand’s proprietary application methods, software systems, and verified vendor network.

ohDEER recently reached 25 locations nationwide, expanding from its Eastern Seaboard base into states including Virginia, North Carolina, Ohio, Texas, Missouri, and Idaho. Its differentiation rests on the all-natural positioning within a pest control market still dominated by chemical treatments, appealing to households seeking eco-friendly outdoor solutions.

Why buy an ohDEER All Natural Pest Control Franchise?

Buying an ohDEER All Natural Pest Control franchise offers entry into a recurring-revenue home services model with a clear point of difference: an all-natural, chemical-free approach in a category where most competitors still rely on synthetic pesticides. The year-round service structure helps smooth the seasonality that constrains many outdoor pest businesses, and the home-based model keeps overhead low without a commercial lease or storefront.

Franchisees gain access to the brand’s proprietary treatment systems, software and CRM support, centrally handled bookkeeping, and partnerships with verified vendors, freeing owners to focus on selling and servicing local accounts. The brand reports strong customer retention, a meaningful asset in a repeat-service model, and qualified veterans receive a discount on the franchise fee through ohDEER’s VetFran membership.

ohDEER All Natural Pest Control – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    Initial training combines 29 hours of classroom instruction with 18 hours of on-the-job field training, supported by online modules and a week of in-person field work. Ongoing support covers the brand's sales program, marketing through verified vendors, technical help for the website and CRM, and centralized bookkeeping that keeps owners' accounting current, alongside a dedicated franchise support team for day-to-day operations. Resale buyers should confirm what onboarding and CRM access the franchisor provides to incoming owners when ownership transfers.

  2. Ideal Owner

    ohDEER suits hands-on, community-minded owner-operators comfortable selling locally and delivering field service themselves, particularly in a unit's early stages. No pest control or business experience is required, as training bridges the gap, but the model rewards people who enjoy outdoor work, customer relationships, and steady route-based operations. Strong sales and customer-service instincts matter most, since growth depends on building and retaining local accounts. The veteran discount and home-based structure also appeal to veterans and those seeking flexible, owner-driven businesses.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    ohDEER has earned recognition for its all-natural approach and franchisee satisfaction. It was named a Standout Franchise in Entrepreneur's Top 10 Trends coverage (2024) and a Franchise Game Changer by Franchise Dictionary Magazine (2024) for innovation. Franchise Business Review, which measures franchisee satisfaction, named ohDEER a Top 200 Franchise in 2026. The brand recently marked its 25th location nationwide. For resale buyers, brand-level recognition should be weighed alongside the specific territory's local reviews, referral strength, and community reputation.

  4. Industry / Market

    The US pest control industry is large and resilient: service revenue grew about 6% in 2025 to roughly $13.4 billion, well ahead of GDP growth, according to the National Pest Management Association. Demand for mosquito and tick control is rising in particular, with most pest professionals reporting higher mosquito-related revenue in 2024 amid concern over tick- and mosquito-borne illness and expanding deer populations. Consumer interest in chemical-free treatments adds a tailwind for natural-segment providers. For resale buyers, recurring seasonal demand supports route-based revenue, while local climate and competition shape each territory.
