Professional Tick Exterminator Cherrywood

Your Kids Play Outside Without Worry

You shouldn’t have to scan every inch of grass before your kids run outside. Or check your dog for ticks every time they come in from the yard.

When ticks take over your property, your outdoor spaces become off-limits. Your garden sits untended. Family barbecues move indoors. Even walking to the mailbox becomes a calculated risk.

Professional tick control changes that. We eliminate tick populations where they live and breed, not just the ones you can see. Your yard becomes usable again. Your kids can play. Your pets can roam. You can garden, mow, and actually enjoy the property you work so hard to maintain.

We Know New Jersey Ticks

86 Pest and Wildlife Removal has been protecting Cherrywood families from tick-borne diseases for years. We understand the specific tick species that thrive in our area and exactly where they hide on your property.

New Jersey has one of the highest Lyme disease rates in the country. We’ve seen what happens when tick problems go untreated. That’s why we use targeted treatments that actually work, not generic approaches that waste your time and money.

Every technician is licensed and trained on the latest tick control methods. We know which areas of your yard need attention and which treatments provide lasting protection throughout tick season.

Tick Control for Yard Process

Here's How We Eliminate Your Tick Problem

First, we inspect your entire property to identify tick habitats and activity levels. Ticks don’t spread evenly across your yard – they concentrate in specific areas where conditions are right.

Next, we apply targeted treatments to these high-risk zones. We focus on areas where ticks actually live: along property borders, under decks, around stone walls, and in transitional areas between lawn and woods. This isn’t a blanket spray approach – it’s strategic placement where it matters most.

Finally, we establish a protection schedule that keeps ticks from reestablishing populations. Most properties need treatments every 6-8 weeks during peak season to maintain protection. We time applications based on tick life cycles, not arbitrary calendar dates.

Best Tick Control Treatment Options

What You Get With Professional Treatment

Our tick control service targets all life stages – adults, nymphs, and larvae. Many DIY treatments only affect adult ticks, leaving the next generation to mature and reinfest your property.

We use EPA-approved treatments that are safe for children and pets but lethal to ticks. You don’t have to choose between effective control and family safety. Most treated areas can be used normally within hours of application.

Each treatment includes a thorough property assessment. We identify conditions that attract ticks and provide recommendations for reducing future infestations. Small changes in landscaping or maintenance can significantly impact tick populations long-term.

How quickly does professional tick control start working?

You’ll see dead ticks within 24-48 hours of treatment, but full population control takes about two weeks. Ticks don’t die instantly when they contact treated areas – they need to absorb enough active ingredient, which takes time. However, they stop feeding and reproducing immediately upon contact. Most families notice a dramatic reduction in tick encounters within the first week. The key is that treated ticks can’t transmit diseases even if they’re still alive, so your protection begins right away.

Is tick spray treatment safe for children and pets?

Yes, when applied by licensed professionals using EPA-approved products. We use treatments specifically designed for residential properties with families and pets. Most areas can be used normally within 2-4 hours of application, once surfaces are dry. We always provide specific re-entry instructions based on the products used and weather conditions. The bigger safety risk is actually leaving ticks untreated – Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever pose far greater health threats than properly applied tick control treatments.

How often do I need tick control treatments?

Most properties need treatments every 6-8 weeks during tick season, which runs from April through October in New Jersey. The exact schedule depends on your property’s tick pressure, surrounding environment, and weather conditions. Properties backing up to woods or with heavy deer traffic may need more frequent applications. We don’t use one-size-fits-all schedules – your treatment timing is based on tick biology and your specific property conditions. Many clients start with monthly treatments for severe infestations, then move to every 8 weeks for maintenance.

What areas of my property do you treat for ticks?

We focus on areas where ticks actually live and wait for hosts – not your entire lawn. This includes property perimeters, especially along wooded edges, under decks and porches, around stone walls and wood piles, and in ground cover areas. We also treat transitional zones between mowed grass and natural areas, since ticks prefer these boundary spaces. Your open lawn areas typically don’t harbor significant tick populations, so treating them is usually unnecessary. This targeted approach is more effective and uses less product than blanket applications.

Will tick control eliminate ticks completely from my property?

Professional tick control dramatically reduces tick populations, but complete elimination isn’t realistic on most properties. Ticks can travel on wildlife, and new ones can migrate from neighboring areas. However, proper treatment reduces tick encounters by 85-95%, which makes your outdoor spaces safe and comfortable to use. The goal is bringing tick populations down to levels where disease transmission risk becomes minimal and you can enjoy your yard again. Properties surrounded by treated areas achieve better long-term control than isolated treatments.

How much does professional tick control cost compared to DIY methods?

Professional tick control typically costs $150-400 per treatment depending on property size and tick pressure. While this seems expensive compared to store-bought sprays, DIY methods rarely provide effective control and often need frequent reapplication. When you factor in the cost of multiple DIY products, application equipment, and your time, professional treatment often costs less overall. More importantly, the health risks of inadequate tick control – potential medical bills from tick-borne diseases – make professional treatment a smart investment in your family’s safety and peace of mind.
