A pctonline.com article has described John Vollmer as the owner of Tick Ranger franchises in Newtown and Rocky Hill, Conn. A recent customer said they have used Tick Ranger for three years on a large yard with wooded areas and have no ticks. A recent reviewer in Woodbury said the pests stayed gone through humidity, heat and fierce rains. A recent customer in their second season said they chose the company because it was competitively priced and stayed for its professionalism, with no tick bite for human or dog since service began. A recent customer said Erik came and was diligent about his work, and that the spraying covers the yard and into the perimeter. In a 2026 review, the treasurer of the Salisbury Community Dog Park said the park had virtually no tick problem after the second treatment and had contracted for a full series for 2026. A 2023 customer said the company had sprayed their childcare facility's yard and playgrounds for two years with an all-natural cedar spray. A recent customer gave one star after both of their dogs tested positive for Lyme disease, and said the company told them its system only reduces the number of ticks, with no warranties. A recent Reddit commenter in r/Connecticut said they have had their property sprayed by Tick Ranger for years but called the cost insane for something they learned is not very effective. A 2026 customer said that on one application the front lawn was hosed in the rain instead of the usual backpack spray around the perimeter. A 2024 reviewer warned that the actual quote did not match a clipper coupon. A 2023 first-time customer in Newtown said the company sprayed while their yard had standing flood water, then billed for a respray they had requested after mosquito bites and offered to charge half. **Strengths:** - Wooded-yard tick control — a recent customer reported no ticks after three years - Dog park treatment — a 2026 review said virtually no ticks after the second treatment - Detailed application — a recent customer said every detail of the property gets attention **Concerns:** - Lyme disease complaint — a recent customer's two dogs tested positive for Lyme disease - Spraying cost — a recent Reddit commenter called the cost insane - Respray billing dispute — a 2023 customer was billed for a requested respray - Coupon versus quote — a 2024 reviewer said the actual quote was very costly ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - 4.8 stars from 819 Google ratings _(confidence: high)_ - [Google](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=Tick%20Ranger&query_place_id=ChIJ1_PJIET754kR6ujJZxF7_m8) — “Google: 4.8★ from 819 ratings” - A pctonline.com article has described John Vollmer as the owner of Tick Ranger franchises in Newtown and Rocky Hill, Conn. _(confidence: medium)_ - [Local News](https://www.pctonline.com/article/tick-control-botanical-vs-conventional/) — “pctonline.com — John Vollmer, owner of Tick Ranger franchises in Newtown and Rocky Hill, Conn., also uses a cedar-oil based spray for 95 per…” - Sprays yards for ticks and mosquitoes _(confidence: high)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT214SGFWQTVSbFJITmpocExVNDFOMjVuVG5ORWVrRRAB!2m1!1s0x0:0x6ffe7b1167c9e8ea!3m1!1s2@1:CAIQACodChtycF9oOmxHaVA5RlRHNjhpLU41N25nTnNEekE%7C%7C?hl=en-US) — “5★ Tick Ranger has a great team!
