We Know New Jersey Ticks

We’ve been protecting Bates Mill families from tick infestations for years. We understand exactly which tick species are active in our area and when they pose the biggest threat to your family.

New Jersey has some of the highest Lyme disease rates in the country, and we see the real impact on local families. That’s why we focus on comprehensive tick control that addresses both immediate infestations and long-term prevention.

Our team knows the local terrain, the seasonal patterns, and the most effective treatment methods for our specific climate and tick populations. We’re not just pest control—we’re your neighbors who understand what you’re dealing with.

Our Tick Control Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we inspect your entire property to identify tick hotspots. We’re looking for the areas where ticks congregate—tall grass, leaf litter, the edges where your lawn meets wooded areas, and anywhere moisture tends to collect.

Next, we apply targeted treatments to these high-risk zones using professional-grade products that aren’t available to homeowners. We focus on areas where ticks actually live and breed, not just where you might see them occasionally.

We time our treatments based on tick life cycles and seasonal activity patterns specific to New Jersey. This means hitting them when they’re most vulnerable and before they have a chance to establish large populations on your property. Most customers see significant reduction in tick activity within 24 to 48 hours, with continued improvement over the following weeks.

What's Included in Your Treatment

Your tick control service covers your entire property, not just the obvious problem areas. We treat the perimeter of your home, all outdoor living spaces, walking paths, and anywhere your family and pets spend time outside.

We also address the areas you might not think about—under decks, around sheds, along fence lines, and in any overgrown areas where ticks love to wait for their next host. Our treatments are designed to be safe around children and pets while being lethal to ticks at all life stages.

You’ll get specific recommendations for maintaining a tick-resistant environment between treatments. Simple changes to landscaping, lawn maintenance, and outdoor storage can dramatically reduce your property’s appeal to ticks. We explain what works and what doesn’t, so you’re not wasting time on ineffective prevention methods.

How quickly does professional tick control start working?

Most customers notice a significant reduction in tick activity within 24 to 48 hours after treatment. The products we use are designed to work fast while providing lasting protection. However, you might still see some tick activity for the first week as ticks that weren’t directly exposed to the treatment die off. Complete control typically takes 7 to 10 days, depending on the severity of the infestation and weather conditions. We schedule follow-up treatments based on tick life cycles to catch any newly hatched ticks before they become a problem.
Yes, we use EPA-approved products that are specifically designed to be safe around families and pets when applied correctly. We recommend keeping children and pets inside during the actual application and until the treated areas are completely dry, which usually takes 2 to 4 hours depending on weather conditions. After that, your family can resume normal outdoor activities. We always explain any specific precautions for your particular situation and provide clear instructions about when it’s safe to return to treated areas. Our goal is effective tick control without compromising your family’s safety.
Most properties in New Jersey benefit from treatments every 6 to 8 weeks during tick season, which runs from April through October. However, the frequency depends on several factors including your property’s layout, proximity to wooded areas, and the severity of local tick populations. Properties with heavy tree cover or those adjacent to wooded areas often need more frequent treatments. We assess your specific situation and recommend a treatment schedule that provides consistent protection without over-treating. Many customers opt for seasonal packages that cover the entire tick season with appropriately timed treatments.
Professional treatments use commercial-grade products that aren’t available to consumers and are significantly more effective than over-the-counter options. We also have the experience to identify exactly where ticks are breeding and hiding on your property—areas that homeowners often miss. DIY treatments typically only address the areas you can see, while professional treatment covers the entire tick lifecycle and habitat. We also understand the timing of applications based on local tick behavior and seasonal patterns. Most importantly, we guarantee our work, so if ticks return between scheduled treatments, we come back at no additional charge.
Yes, our treatments are effective against all tick species common to New Jersey, including blacklegged ticks (deer ticks) that carry Lyme disease, American dog ticks, and lone star ticks. Each species has slightly different behavior patterns and preferred habitats, but our comprehensive approach addresses all of them. We’re particularly focused on blacklegged ticks since they’re the primary concern for Lyme disease transmission in our area. Our treatments target ticks at all life stages—larvae, nymphs, and adults—because different stages are active at different times of the year. This comprehensive approach ensures year-round protection rather than just temporary relief.
Our targeted application methods minimize impact on beneficial insects while effectively controlling ticks. We focus treatments on areas where ticks actually live—primarily in leaf litter, tall grass, and shaded areas—rather than broadcasting chemicals across your entire property. This approach protects pollinators like bees and butterflies that typically frequent flowering plants and sunny areas. We avoid treating areas where beneficial insects are most active and time our applications to further reduce any unintended effects. If you have specific concerns about beneficial insects or wildlife on your property, we can adjust our treatment plan accordingly while still providing effective tick control.
