Reclaim Your Outdoor Space

You shouldn’t have to check every inch of your kids and pets after they play in your own backyard. That’s not normal, and it’s not something you have to live with.

When tick control is done right, you get your yard back. Your children can run around without you constantly worrying about Lyme disease. Your dog can chase squirrels without coming inside covered in ticks. You can actually enjoy your outdoor space instead of treating it like a hazard zone.

The difference between our approach and what you’ve probably tried is simple: we target ticks where they live and breed, not just where you see them. Most homeowners spray the obvious spots and wonder why ticks keep coming back. We treat the entire ecosystem that supports tick populations, which is why our results last.

Ancora Tick Removal Experts

We Know New Jersey Ticks

86 Pest and Wildlife Removal has been protecting South Jersey families from tick-borne diseases for years. We understand the specific tick species in our area – deer ticks, dog ticks, and lone star ticks – and how they behave throughout the seasons.

New Jersey has one of the highest Lyme disease rates in the country, and Camden County sees hundreds of cases every year. We’ve seen what happens when tick problems aren’t handled properly, and we’ve developed our methods specifically for the challenges that Ancora homeowners face.

Our team knows which areas of your property ticks prefer, when they’re most active, and what treatments work best in our climate. That local knowledge makes the difference between a temporary fix and long-term protection.

Our Tick Control Process

Here's How We Handle It

First, we inspect your entire property to identify tick habitats and problem areas. This isn’t just walking around your yard – we’re looking at vegetation density, moisture levels, wildlife activity, and the specific conditions that attract and support tick populations.

Next, we apply targeted treatments to these high-risk areas using professional-grade products that aren’t available to homeowners. We focus on the edges where your lawn meets wooded areas, dense vegetation, and anywhere ticks are likely to wait for hosts.

The timing matters as much as the treatment itself. We schedule applications based on tick lifecycle stages and seasonal activity patterns, which is why our results last longer than DIY approaches. Most customers see dramatic reduction in tick activity within days, with continued protection throughout the season.

Comprehensive Tick Yard Treatment

What's Included in Service

Our tick control service covers your entire property, not just the obvious problem areas. We treat lawn perimeters, landscaped beds, wooded edges, and anywhere ticks are likely to establish populations.

You’ll get habitat modification recommendations that make your property less attractive to ticks long-term. Simple changes like managing vegetation and reducing moisture in certain areas can significantly impact tick populations between treatments.

We also provide ongoing monitoring throughout the season because tick pressure changes based on weather, wildlife activity, and other factors. If you’re still seeing ticks after treatment, we come back to reassess and adjust our approach. The goal is keeping your family safe, not just completing a service call.

How quickly does professional tick control start working?

Most customers notice a significant reduction in tick activity within 2-3 days after treatment. The products we use are designed to work quickly while providing extended protection. However, you might still see some tick activity for the first week as existing ticks in the area come into contact with treated surfaces. Complete control typically takes 7-10 days, and the protection lasts 4-6 weeks depending on weather conditions and tick pressure in your area.
Yes, when applied correctly by professionals. We use EPA-approved products that are specifically designed for residential use around families and pets. The key is proper application and timing – we recommend keeping children and pets inside during application and until surfaces are dry, which is typically 2-3 hours. After that, treated areas are safe for normal use. We can also discuss organic treatment options if you prefer, though they typically require more frequent applications.
Most properties need treatment every 4-6 weeks during tick season, which runs from April through October in New Jersey. The exact frequency depends on your property’s tick pressure, weather conditions, and how much wildlife activity you have. Properties that back up to wooded areas or have heavy deer traffic typically need more frequent treatments. We’ll assess your specific situation and recommend a schedule that provides consistent protection without over-treating.
Our targeted application methods minimize impact on beneficial insects. We focus treatments on areas where ticks hide and wait for hosts – typically shaded, moist areas with dense vegetation – rather than broadly spraying flowering plants where bees and butterflies feed. We also time applications to avoid peak pollinator activity periods. If you have specific concerns about pollinators, we can adjust our approach to provide additional protection for beneficial insects while still controlling ticks effectively.
While we can dramatically reduce tick populations on your property, we can’t guarantee you’ll never see another tick. Ticks are mobile and can be carried onto your property by wildlife, pets, or even on clothing. What we can guarantee is a significant reduction in tick activity and breeding populations on your property. Most customers see 85-95% fewer ticks after treatment. If you’re still experiencing significant tick problems after our service, we’ll return to reassess and retreat at no additional charge.
Professional treatments use commercial-grade products that aren’t available to consumers, and we have the equipment to apply them properly. Store-bought sprays typically only kill ticks on contact and provide little residual protection. Our treatments create a barrier that continues working for weeks, targeting ticks in all life stages. We also understand tick behavior and habitat preferences, so we know exactly where to focus treatments for maximum effectiveness. Most importantly, we can adjust our approach based on your property’s specific conditions and tick pressure levels.
