Colwick Tick Control Experts

We Know New Jersey Ticks

We’ve been handling tick problems in Colwick and throughout New Jersey for years. We understand how ticks behave in our climate, where they hide on your property, and what it takes to eliminate them completely.

New Jersey has some of the highest Lyme disease rates in the country. We’ve seen what happens when tick problems get ignored or handled with store-bought sprays that don’t work. That’s why we focus on thorough, professional treatments that actually solve the problem.

We’re licensed, insured, and we live in the communities we serve. When we treat your property, we’re treating it the same way we’d treat our own family’s yard.

Our Tick Control Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we inspect your entire property to identify where ticks are actually living and breeding. Most people focus on the obvious spots, but ticks prefer specific microclimates—shaded areas, leaf litter, the edges where your lawn meets wooded areas.

Next, we apply targeted treatments to these high-risk zones using professional-grade products that aren’t available to homeowners. We’re not just spraying your entire yard randomly. We’re treating the specific areas where ticks congregate and reproduce.

Finally, we set up a seasonal treatment schedule that keeps your property protected year-round. Ticks don’t just disappear after one treatment—they need ongoing management to prevent re-infestation. We handle the timing so you don’t have to think about it.

What's Included in Every Treatment

Every tick control service includes a thorough property inspection, targeted treatment application, and follow-up monitoring. We don’t use cookie-cutter approaches because every property in Colwick has different risk factors.

You’ll get treatments that are safe for your family and pets but lethal to ticks. We use environmentally responsible products that won’t harm beneficial insects or contaminate your soil. The treatments are designed to work with New Jersey’s climate and tick species.

We also provide guidance on simple steps you can take to make your property less attractive to ticks long-term. Small changes in landscaping and maintenance can make a big difference in preventing future infestations.

How quickly do tick control treatments start working?

Most treatments start showing results within 24-48 hours, with significant tick reduction within the first week. However, complete control takes 2-3 weeks because treatments need time to reach ticks in all life stages and break their breeding cycle. You’ll notice fewer ticks immediately, but the full protective effect builds over the first month. That’s why we schedule follow-up treatments—to catch any ticks that weren’t eliminated in the initial application and maintain long-term control.
Yes, when applied by licensed professionals using proper techniques and products. We use treatments that are specifically designed to be safe for families while being lethal to ticks. The products we use break down quickly in sunlight and don’t persist in ways that could harm children or pets. We’ll provide specific instructions about any temporary restrictions after treatment, but typically your family can resume normal yard activities within a few hours of application.
Most properties in Colwick 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 risk factors—wooded areas, moisture levels, and wildlife activity all affect how quickly ticks can re-establish. We typically recommend starting treatments in early spring before tick activity peaks, then maintaining regular treatments through fall. Properties with higher risk factors may need more frequent treatments initially.
Professional tick control dramatically reduces tick populations, typically by 85-95%, but complete elimination isn’t realistic for most properties. Ticks can migrate from neighboring areas, and wildlife can reintroduce them. The goal is to reduce tick populations to levels where encounters become rare rather than daily occurrences. With regular treatments, most customers report going from finding multiple ticks weekly to maybe finding one or two per season. That’s the difference between constant worry and normal outdoor enjoyment.
Minimal preparation is required, but a few simple steps help treatments work better. Mow your lawn within a day or two before treatment so products can reach the soil where ticks live. Remove any toys, furniture, or equipment from areas that need treatment. If you have pets, plan to keep them inside for 2-4 hours after application. We’ll provide specific instructions when we schedule your service, but most customers find the preparation takes less than 30 minutes.
Professional treatments use commercial-grade products that aren’t available to homeowners and are applied using specialized equipment that ensures proper coverage and concentration. Most DIY products only kill ticks on contact and don’t provide residual protection or target tick breeding areas effectively. We also know where ticks actually live on your property—not just where you see them. We treat the leaf litter, vegetation edges, and microhabitats where ticks spend 95% of their time, while most homeowners just spray their lawn and miss the real problem areas.
