We Know New Jersey Ticks

We at 86 Pest and Wildlife Removal have been protecting Delaware Gardens families from tick-borne diseases for years. We understand that New Jersey has some of the highest Lyme disease rates in the country, which means tick control isn’t just about comfort—it’s about health.

Our team knows exactly where ticks hide in your yard and what it takes to eliminate them effectively. We’ve seen what works and what doesn’t, and we focus on solutions that actually reduce tick populations instead of just making you feel better temporarily.

Tick Control Treatment Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we inspect your property to identify tick hotspots—areas where they breed, feed, and wait for hosts. This includes tall grass, leaf litter, wood piles, and the edges where your lawn meets wooded areas.

Next, we apply targeted treatments to these high-risk zones using EPA-approved products that eliminate ticks at multiple life stages. We don’t just spray your entire yard randomly; we focus on where ticks actually live and reproduce.

Finally, we provide you with specific recommendations for maintaining a tick-resistant environment between treatments. This includes simple landscaping adjustments and maintenance practices that make your property less attractive to ticks long-term.

Comprehensive Tick Yard Treatment

What's Included in Your Service

Your tick control service includes a thorough property assessment, targeted treatment application, and detailed prevention guidance. We treat all identified tick habitats on your property, not just the obvious areas.

You’ll receive a clear explanation of what we found, what we treated, and what you can expect in the coming weeks. We also provide specific advice for reducing tick populations naturally through landscaping and maintenance changes.

Our treatments are designed to work with Delaware Gardens’ specific climate and tick species. We time applications based on local tick activity patterns, ensuring maximum effectiveness when these pests are most vulnerable.

How quickly will I see results after tick treatment?

You’ll typically notice fewer ticks within 24-48 hours of treatment, with significant reduction within a week. However, complete elimination takes time because treatments target different tick life stages. Adult ticks die quickly, but eggs and larvae may take 2-3 weeks to be fully controlled. This is why we recommend seasonal treatment programs rather than one-time applications for properties with established tick populations.
Yes, when applied correctly by licensed professionals. We use EPA-approved products and follow strict application guidelines to ensure safety. We recommend keeping children and pets inside during application and until the treatment dries, typically 2-4 hours. After that, treated areas are safe for normal use. We always discuss any specific concerns about family members with allergies or sensitivities before beginning treatment.
Early spring through fall is tick season in New Jersey, with peak activity from May through September. The most effective approach is starting treatments in April before tick populations explode, then maintaining control through the active season. Many customers opt for 3-4 treatments per year: early spring, late spring, mid-summer, and early fall. This schedule targets ticks at different life stages when they’re most vulnerable.
Most DIY tick control products aren’t strong enough to eliminate established populations, and homeowners often miss critical application areas. Ticks spend most of their time in specific microhabitats—like the interface between lawn and landscaping, under decks, and in leaf litter. Professional treatments use commercial-grade products applied at proper concentrations to these exact locations. We also treat for multiple tick life stages simultaneously, which most consumer products can’t accomplish.
Tick control pricing depends on your property size, tick population severity, and treatment frequency. Most residential properties range from $150-400 per treatment. Seasonal programs offer better value and more effective control than single applications. Consider that one case of Lyme disease can cost thousands in medical bills, lost work time, and ongoing health impacts. We provide free estimates and can customize a program that fits your budget while effectively protecting your family.
No treatment eliminates ticks permanently because they can reintroduce from neighboring properties, wildlife, and untreated areas. However, regular professional treatment dramatically reduces populations and keeps them at manageable levels. The goal is creating an environment where tick encounters become rare rather than daily occurrences. Most customers find that consistent seasonal treatments reduce their tick problems by 85-95%, making their outdoor spaces comfortable and safe for regular use.
