Hear from Our Customers
You walk outside without checking every step. Your kids play in the grass without you scanning their legs afterward. Your dog runs through the yard, and you don’t spend the evening pulling ticks off their fur.
That’s what effective tick control for your yard actually delivers. Not just fewer ticks—the confidence to use your outdoor space the way you want to. No more avoiding certain areas of your property or cutting family time short because you’re worried about what might be crawling up your leg.
When ticks are properly controlled, you get your yard back. You get those summer evenings on the deck, weekend yard work without constant vigilance, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing your family’s outdoor time isn’t a health risk.
86 Pest and Wildlife Removal has been handling tick problems throughout Cherry Downs and the surrounding New Jersey area for years. We understand that tick control isn’t just about spraying chemicals—it’s about understanding tick behavior, identifying problem areas, and creating long-term solutions.
New Jersey has some of the highest Lyme disease rates in the country, and Cherry Downs residents deal with both deer ticks and dog ticks throughout the warmer months. Our team knows which areas of your property ticks prefer, when they’re most active, and how to break their lifecycle effectively.
This isn’t a side service for us. Tick control is a core part of what we do, and we’ve seen every type of infestation this area can produce.
First, we inspect your entire property to identify where ticks are living and breeding. This includes checking areas most people miss—under decks, along fence lines, anywhere vegetation meets open space, and spots where wildlife typically travel.
Next, we create a targeted treatment plan based on what we found. This isn’t a one-size-fits-all spray job. Different areas of your property get different treatments depending on tick activity, proximity to your house, and how your family uses the space.
The actual treatment focuses on breaking the tick lifecycle at multiple points. We treat adult ticks you can see now, but also target the areas where eggs are laid and larvae develop. Most tick problems come back because people only treat the adults.
Follow-up visits ensure the treatment is working and catch any areas that need additional attention. Tick control works best as an ongoing process, especially during peak season from spring through fall.

Every tick control service includes a complete property inspection to map out problem areas and identify the specific tick species you’re dealing with. Different ticks require different approaches, and knowing what you’re facing makes treatment more effective.
Treatment applications target both immediate tick populations and their breeding areas. This includes vegetation management recommendations, because ticks need specific humidity and cover conditions to survive. Sometimes the best long-term control involves changing the environment ticks need to thrive.
You’ll also get specific guidance on timing for follow-up treatments. Tick control isn’t a one-and-done service—it requires strategic timing based on tick lifecycles and seasonal activity patterns. Cherry Downs residents typically see the best results with treatments scheduled around peak tick activity periods rather than random calendar dates.
