Your Yard, Safe for Everyone Again

You shouldn’t have to check every inch of your kids and pets after they play outside. When ticks take over your property, your own backyard becomes off-limits.

Professional tick control changes that. We target the areas where ticks actually live and breed – not just spray and hope. Your family gets back to barbecues, gardening, and letting the dog run free without constantly worrying about Lyme disease.

The best tick control starts with understanding where these pests hide. We focus on property edges, tall grass areas, and spots where wildlife brings ticks onto your land. After treatment, you’ll notice the difference within days.

Atco Tick Control Experts

We Know South Jersey Ticks

86 Pest and Wildlife Removal has been protecting Atco families from tick-borne diseases for years. We understand exactly which tick species you’re dealing with here in Camden County and when they’re most active.

Our team combines pest control expertise with wildlife removal experience. That matters because ticks don’t just appear – they’re brought in by deer, rodents, and other animals. We address both the ticks and what’s bringing them to your property.

You’re not getting a one-size-fits-all approach. Every Atco property is different, and we treat it that way.

Our Tick Control Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we inspect your entire property to identify tick hotspots. These are usually along fence lines, wooded edges, and anywhere tall grass meets maintained areas. We also look for signs of wildlife activity that might be bringing ticks onto your land.

Next, we apply targeted treatments to these high-risk zones using professional-grade products that eliminate ticks at all life stages. We’re not just spraying your whole yard randomly – we’re hitting the specific areas where ticks actually live and wait for hosts.

Finally, we set up a barrier treatment around your property perimeter. This creates a protective zone that stops new ticks from migrating in from neighboring areas. Most customers see dramatic results within the first week, with continued protection throughout the treatment period.

What You Get With Our Service

Our tick control for yard treatment covers all the areas that matter. We treat property boundaries where ticks typically enter, focus on transition zones between lawn and natural areas, and address any wildlife issues that might be contributing to your tick problem.

Every treatment uses products that are tough on ticks but safe around kids and pets. We time applications for maximum effectiveness based on tick life cycles and seasonal activity patterns specific to the Atco area.

You’ll also get guidance on simple landscape modifications that make your property less attractive to ticks long-term. Small changes like keeping grass short in certain areas and managing brush piles can make a huge difference in preventing future infestations.

How often should I have my yard treated for ticks?

Most Atco properties need tick control treatments every 6-8 weeks during active tick season, which runs from April through October in New Jersey. The exact timing depends on your property’s risk factors – homes backing up to wooded areas or with heavy wildlife activity typically need more frequent treatments. We’ll assess your specific situation and recommend a schedule that provides consistent protection without over-treating. Many customers start with monthly treatments in spring when tick activity peaks, then space them out as the season progresses.

Is tick control treatment safe for my pets and children?

Yes, when applied correctly by licensed professionals. We use EPA-approved products specifically chosen for their effectiveness against ticks while maintaining safety around families and pets. The key is proper application – we target areas where ticks actually live rather than blanket-spraying your entire yard. After treatment, we recommend keeping kids and pets inside for 2-4 hours while the product dries, then the treated areas are safe for normal use. We always discuss any specific concerns about pets or children with health sensitivities before beginning treatment.

Will treating my yard kill beneficial insects like bees?

Our targeted approach minimizes impact on beneficial insects. Instead of spraying flowering plants and areas where pollinators are active, we focus on tick habitat zones – typically shaded areas, property edges, and transition zones where ticks actually wait for hosts. We avoid treating during peak pollinator activity hours and don’t apply products to blooming plants. The products we use break down relatively quickly in sunlight, further reducing any impact on beneficial insects that might contact treated areas days after application.

How quickly will I see results after tick treatment?

You’ll typically notice fewer ticks within 3-5 days after treatment, with maximum effectiveness reached within a week. Existing adult ticks in treated areas die off quickly, but you might still encounter some ticks for the first few days as they move through the treatment zones. The real test comes 2-3 weeks later when you’ll notice a significant reduction in new tick encounters during normal yard activities. Keep in mind that ticks can still be brought onto your property by wildlife or pets, but the overall population and risk will be dramatically lower.

Do I need to do anything to prepare my yard before treatment?

Minimal preparation is needed, which is one advantage of professional treatment. We ask that you mow your lawn within a few days before treatment – shorter grass allows better product penetration to areas where ticks hide. Remove any toys, pet bowls, or outdoor furniture from areas we’ll be treating, and let us know about any pets that spend time in specific areas of your yard. If you have bird feeders or areas where you specifically want to attract wildlife, point those out so we can adjust our approach accordingly.

What's the difference between DIY tick sprays and professional treatment?

Professional treatment targets the right areas with the right products at the right concentrations. Most DIY tick control products available to homeowners are significantly weaker than what we licensed pest control professionals can access. More importantly, we know where to apply treatments for maximum effectiveness – most homeowners spray their entire lawn when ticks actually concentrate in specific habitat zones. Our treatments also address tick populations at multiple life stages and create barrier protection that prevents new ticks from establishing on your property. The result is longer-lasting control with less total product used.
