Blacklegged (Deer) Ticks: These are the most concerning ticks in Ohio due to their ability to transmit Lyme disease. Small and reddish-brown with a distinct black shield on their backs, they are typically found in wooded areas and leaf litter, waiting for a host to pass by.
American Dog Ticks: The most common tick encountered in Ohio, these are larger and have white or silver markings on their backs. While they don’t carry Lyme disease, they are the primary carriers of Rocky Mountain spotted fever and are often found in grassy fields and along walkways.
Lone Star Ticks: Easily identified by the single white dot on the female’s back, these ticks are aggressive biters. They are becoming more common in Ohio and are known for transmitting various illnesses and, in some cases, causing a lifelong red meat allergy in humans.
Brown Dog Ticks: Unlike other species, the brown dog tick can complete its entire life cycle indoors. If brought inside by a pet, they can establish a population within your home, hiding in cracks, furniture, or bedding.
At Green Shield Pest Pros, tick treatment is built around where they're actually active, indoors, outdoors, or both. Here is how we make it happen:
We start by asking whether ticks have been seen indoors, outdoors, or both, since single-family homes with pets often need both.
Our technician inspects the yard for hotspots and spot-treats up to a half acre as part of the standard service.
When indoor activity is confirmed, we treat affected areas, focusing on damp, dark spaces where ticks are most likely to be hiding.
Every tick treatment includes a free two-week follow-up so any newly hatched ticks are addressed before they spread.
We’ve built this plan to cover what matters: ongoing defense, adaptable service, and zero stress for you. It’s structured around your schedule, your layout, and the pest pressures in your part of Ohio. Here’s how it works:
We visit your property on a schedule that fits the local pressure and your home’s unique layout. These visits aren’t rushed. We take our time to check for signs of pest activity, apply targeted treatments, and reinforce protective barriers inside and out.
Every time we come out, we focus on where pest problems start, not just where they show up. That includes:
We apply products with precision, using professional-grade materials that hold up over time without disrupting your routine.
Still seeing something? Let us know. We’ll come back and treat again, for free. No delay, no upsell, no extra fees. We don’t limit how often you can call. If your space needs attention, we’re there.
Because you’re not just paying for someone to show up. You’re trusting a team to solve the problem and keep it from coming back. Here’s what makes us different:
We know exactly which pests are active in your neighborhood and how they behave.
Every visit is thorough, every treatment is intentional, and we take the time to do things right.
If you need us between visits, we’re easy to reach and fast to act.
We’ll never leave you guessing about what was done or what comes next.
Our materials are designed to last, break down safely, and, when applied correctly, be used around families and pets. We only use what your space needs!
Our work speaks for itself, and if pests come back, so do we!
A well-protected home shouldn’t feel like a project. With our Pest-Free Guarantee, you get reliable service that stays one step ahead. We treat regularly, check in often, and keep watch on the places pests like to settle. If anything needs attention, we’ll take care of it. It’s that simple. This is protection you can feel good about: steady, effective, and built around what your home actually needs.
Ticks are treated as a specialty pest rather than being automatically included in general pest control. Because tick activity depends heavily on yard conditions and pet exposure, tick treatment is offered as a dedicated add-on service that can be scoped to where activity is occurring.
Tick treatment cost of service is $199 for indoor or outdoor treatment on its own. When indoor and outdoor treatment are combined into a single visit, the cost is $350.
Outdoor tick treatment starts with a technician inspecting the yard for hotspots, with spot treatment covering up to half an acre. Indoor tick treatment instead focuses on the specific affected areas of the home, particularly damp, darker spaces where ticks are more likely to remain active.
Toys and pet bedding should be removed from the affected interior area before the technician arrives. This gives the technician full access to treat the space thoroughly without fabric or bedding getting in the way.
Both indoor and outdoor tick treatments include a free two-week follow-up visit, since tick eggs present at the time of treatment can hatch afterward. During that follow-up, the technician can retreat any area where activity is still present.
