Our Tick Control Process

Simple Process, Serious Results

First, we inspect your property to identify tick hotspots and assess the level of infestation. We look at areas where ticks typically gather—tall grass, brush lines, shaded areas where pets spend time.

Next, we apply targeted treatments to these high-risk zones using professional-grade products that eliminate both adult ticks and prevent larvae from developing. We focus on the areas that matter most, not just blanket-spraying your entire yard.

Finally, we schedule follow-up treatments based on your property’s specific needs and the seasonal tick patterns here in New Jersey. Most properties need treatment every 6-8 weeks during peak season to maintain protection.

Comprehensive Tick Yard Treatment

What's Included in Your Service

Your tick control service covers all the areas where ticks actually live and breed on your property. We treat the perimeter of your home, landscaped areas, play areas, and anywhere your family and pets spend time outdoors.

We use products specifically chosen for New Jersey tick species—not generic treatments that might work somewhere else. Our approach targets both the ticks you can see and the ones you can’t, including larvae and nymphs that are hardest to spot but still dangerous.

You’ll also get guidance on simple steps you can take between treatments to keep tick populations down. Things like keeping grass short in key areas and managing brush lines that don’t require you to become a tick expert yourself.

How often do I need tick control treatments in Berlin, NJ?

Most properties in Berlin need treatments every 6-8 weeks during tick season, which runs from April through October here in New Jersey. The exact schedule depends on your property size, the amount of wooded or brushy areas, and how much tick pressure you’re dealing with. Properties that back up to woods or have heavy deer traffic typically need more frequent treatments. We’ll assess your specific situation and recommend a schedule that keeps your family protected without over-treating your property.
Yes, when applied correctly by professionals. We use products that are specifically designed to be effective against ticks while minimizing risk to people and pets. The key is proper application—knowing where to treat, how much to use, and when it’s safe for your family to return to treated areas. We’ll give you specific instructions about timing, but typically you can use your yard normally within a few hours of treatment. This is much safer than living with disease-carrying ticks on your property.
We target the tick species that are actually problematic here in South Jersey—primarily deer ticks (which carry Lyme disease) and American dog ticks (which can carry Rocky Mountain spotted fever). Deer ticks are the bigger concern because they’re smaller, harder to spot, and more likely to transmit disease. Our treatments are specifically chosen to be effective against these local species during their most active periods. We know their life cycles, when they’re most active, and where they’re most likely to be found on your property.
Store-bought products rarely provide the coverage or effectiveness you need for serious tick control. Most consumer products only kill ticks on contact—they don’t provide lasting protection or target tick larvae and eggs. Professional treatments penetrate deeper into areas where ticks actually live and breed, and they continue working for weeks after application. If you’re dealing with a real tick problem, especially if you’ve found ticks on family members or pets, professional treatment is the most reliable way to get control of the situation quickly.
In New Jersey, we recommend starting treatments in early April before tick activity peaks. Ticks become active when temperatures consistently reach the 40s, and they’re most aggressive in late spring and early summer. Starting early gives you protection before the problem gets serious. However, if you’re already finding ticks on your property or pets, don’t wait—we can start treatments any time during the season. The sooner you start, the better control you’ll have throughout the peak months.
You’ll typically see a significant reduction in tick activity within 24-48 hours of treatment. However, it can take 1-2 weeks to see the full effect as the treatment continues working on ticks in different life stages. Keep in mind that you might still see some tick activity immediately after treatment—this is normal as ticks emerge from areas where they were hiding. The key indicator is that tick numbers should drop noticeably within a few days, and you should see much less activity in the weeks following treatment compared to before.
