ohDEER South Shore

ohDEER South Shore treats yards around Carver for ticks, mosquitoes, and deer, using an all-natural formula that founder Kurt Upham first mixed up in his own yard in Weston back in 2006, treating a neighbor's apple trees before it grew into a business. The company has 629 reviews on Google going back to 2021, and the volume keeps coming — 103 in the past six months alone, nearly all five stars. Reviewers consistently name the technician who showed up: Emily, who explains what she's spraying before she starts; Harrison G, who walked a homeowner through the mosquito-prone spots in the yard; and Quincey, who calls ahead with an arrival estimate. People describe noticeably fewer ticks and mosquitoes within a season or two of starting service, and several mention it's safe around pets and pollinators. In a 2022 review, a customer called it a family-owned operation with strong customer service from the office through the yard. Two recent reviews stand apart from the rest. One customer was billed twice within two weeks and asked for a refund on the second charge. Another, writing about a spring application, said the technician moved through the yard too quickly to properly cover it, calling the coverage inconsistent with earlier visits. It's worth asking how billing cycles are scheduled and confirming the technician takes the time to cover the full property each visit. For a yard with a real tick or mosquito problem, ohDEER has years of specific, repeat praise from people who use it season after season; if a visit ever feels rushed, or a bill looks off, it's worth flagging directly with the office.
