Three Income-Generating Services Mean Year-Round Revenue!
ohDEER offers 100% natural solutions to control deer, ticks & mosquitoes.

And by choosing ohDEER, you're going with the original provider of safe and all-natural solutions for deer, tick & mosquito control!
People know all too well the extensive damage deer can cause to their shrubbery and plantings, and that ticks and mosquitoes are an unwanted threat in their backyard. But ohDEER's proven track record of success in controlling all three of these pests makes it the clear leader in its category. As an ohDEER franchisee, you'll provide an invaluable service by controlling nature's annoying intruders, giving your customers the freedom to enjoy their outdoor spaces once again.
Other companies may say that they are all natural, when in fact their products contain pesticides like Pyrethrum and Talstar Pro. But because our products are TRUE all-natural repellents that contain NO pesticides and NO chemicals of any kind, you can rest assured that your customers can reclaim their backyard knowing that our original solutions are safe for children, pets, and any beneficial pollinating insects. It's that total peace of mind that makes ohDEER the obvious choice!

The information presented may have changed since first published. We recommend that you always verify fees, investment amounts and offers with the business opportunity directly prior to making a decision to invest.
1. What training and ongoing support do you provide?
You want to know what happens after you pay the initial fee. A strong franchisor provides comprehensive pre-opening training, site-selection help, operational playbooks, and continuous assistance with marketing, technology, and supply chains.
2. What is the total initial investment, and did actual startup costs match the estimates in Item 7 of the FDD?
The Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) lists estimated startup costs in Item 7, but real-world expenses can run higher. Asking how closely current owners tracked to these estimates reveals if you need extra working capital or if hidden fees exist.
3. How do royalties and local/national marketing fees impact profitability?
You need to understand ongoing financial obligations-such as monthly royalty percentages and ad fund contributions-and evaluate whether the brand value and support justify cutting into your profit margins.
4. What are the common challenges new franchisees face, and how do you help them overcome them?
Transparent franchisors will openly discuss real hurdles like local competition, tight labor markets, or supply chain bottlenecks, and show you the exact playbook or field support they offer to solve them as well as allowing you to speak with other franchisees.
5. How many franchise locations have closed or left the system in the past few years, and why?
High turnover, store closures, or quiet franchise exits are major red flags. This question measures system stability, territory health, and whether the corporate team addresses struggling owners or lets them fail.
