**Rating: 4.4/5** (medium confidence) — from 629 reviews across 3 sources. A 0–5 star rating built from what customers and the public say (every review and mention weighted by where it was posted, how old, how detailed and how credible it is, shrunk toward a 3.5★ baseline when evidence is thin) plus what the record shows (Reddit recommendations or warnings, a registry-verified licence, how recently they were reviewed, customer work photos, BBB grade, negative news, a revoked licence). Positive record counts only as far as the reviews have earned it; penalties count in full. Confidence describes how much weighted evidence stands behind the number, never the number itself: low when fewer than about five normal reviews' worth of weight (or mentions only) support it, medium up to about twenty, high beyond that across at least two sources. An operator flag for a suspicious review pattern caps a rating at 3.5★ and marks it low.
96% of sentiment-scored reviews read net-positive. Last 6 months: 104 reviews, 2 negative.

## The honest read

ohDEER South Shore is a tick, mosquito and deer-repellent spraying company out of Carver, and the sheer volume of feedback sets it apart — nearly 1,000 Google ratings averaging five stars, with 629 written reviews stretching back to 2021.

The through-line across hundreds of them is simple: yards that used to be unusable become usable again. Customers repeatedly describe going from finding ticks on themselves, their kids or their dogs every time they stepped outside to seeing none at all after a season or two of treatment — one homeowner near conservation land called it the difference between multiple deer ticks every outing and, since starting service, none. Reviewers also single out specific technicians by name with unusual frequency — Mike, Alex, Emily, Nate, Ryan and dozens of others — praising communication about arrival times, care taken around gardens, pools and newly seeded lawns, and a habit of explaining exactly what was sprayed and why. Several reviewers also note the product itself: kid- and pet-safe, non-toxic to pollinators, with one describing a mild, natural scent rather than a chemical smell.

It is not spotless. A May 2026 review disputed being billed for a second treatment inside one month and asked for a refund. An April 2026 review complained that technicians have been moving faster each season and not fully covering the property the way proper tick and mosquito coverage requires. And in a 2023 review, a customer described a technician who left a yard gate open after treatment — no incident resulted, but it was a real lapse the customer flagged.

Those are real exceptions in an otherwise deep and consistent record. For a South Shore yard with a tick or mosquito problem, this is the company most reviewers here credit with actually fixing it — worth asking, given how often names come up in the reviews, whether a specific technician can be requested.

**Strengths:**
- Tick & mosquito control — customers report tick-free yards after treatment
- Named technicians — reviews consistently praise the same techs by name
- Pet & child safe — reviewers note it's non-toxic to pollinators

**Concerns:**
- Billing dispute — one customer was charged twice within a month
- Rushed coverage — a review said techs skipped areas of the yard
