ohDEER
ohDEER franchises operate businesses that provide deer, tick, and mosquito control services and products to home and business property owners dealing with deer defoliation damage and pest infestations. The business model involves franchisees following the franchisor's system standards, operating procedures, and marks to deliver these services in an established market competing with landscapers and pest control companies. It is a year-round operation with peak seasons in spring, summer, and fall, requiring compliance with pesticide regulations and licensing.
