Reclaim Your Outdoor Space

You shouldn’t have to check for ticks every time you walk across your own lawn. Our tick control treatments target the areas where ticks actually live and breed – the tall grass along your property edges, the shrubs around your deck, and those damp spots under trees where they wait for their next meal.

After treatment, you’ll notice the difference within days. No more finding ticks on your clothes after gardening. No more worrying every time your kids play outside or your dog runs through the yard.

The real peace of mind comes from knowing you’ve taken serious action against Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses that are so common here in New Jersey. You’re not just killing the ticks you can see – you’re breaking their lifecycle and making your property hostile to new populations.

Tick Control Treatment Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we inspect your property to identify tick hotspots. We’re looking for the areas where ticks actually live – not just where you might see them. That means checking vegetation edges, areas with leaf litter, spots that stay moist, and transition zones between your lawn and wooded areas.

Next, we apply targeted barrier treatments to these high-risk areas using EPA-approved products. We’re not spraying your entire lawn – we’re focusing our efforts where ticks congregate and travel. This approach is more effective and uses less product overall.

The treatment creates a protective barrier that kills existing ticks and prevents new ones from establishing populations in treated areas. Most customers see a dramatic reduction in tick activity within 48-72 hours, with full effectiveness developing over the first week.

Yard Tick Treatment Options

What's Included In Service

Our tick control service includes a thorough property assessment, targeted application of professional-grade tick control products, and detailed recommendations for reducing tick habitat on your property. We focus on the areas that matter most – vegetation borders, mulched areas, and anywhere your family and pets spend time outdoors.

You’ll get a treatment that’s calibrated for your specific property layout and tick pressure. Properties with heavy woods nearby need different attention than open suburban lots. We adjust our approach based on what we find during inspection.

Each treatment comes with clear guidance on when it’s safe for kids and pets to return to treated areas, what to expect in terms of results, and simple steps you can take to make the treatment more effective long-term.

How long does tick control treatment last in my yard?

Most professional tick control treatments remain effective for 30-60 days, depending on weather conditions and tick pressure in your area. Heavy rain can reduce effectiveness, while dry conditions help treatments last longer. We typically recommend treatments every 6-8 weeks during peak tick season (May through September) for optimal protection. Many customers start with monthly treatments when tick activity is highest, then space them out as the season progresses.
Yes, when applied correctly by licensed professionals using EPA-approved products. We use the same active ingredients found in many flea and tick prevention products for pets, just in different concentrations for yard application. Children and pets should stay off treated areas until the product dries completely, usually 2-4 hours depending on weather. After that, treated areas are safe for normal family activities. We always provide specific safety instructions based on the products used for your treatment.
One treatment will significantly reduce tick populations, but complete elimination typically requires multiple treatments over time. Ticks can travel onto your property from neighboring areas, and some life stages are more resistant to treatment than others. Most customers see a 70-90% reduction in tick activity after the first treatment, with continued improvement after subsequent applications. Properties bordering wooded areas or with heavy deer traffic may need more frequent treatments to maintain control.
In New Jersey, tick control is most critical from April through October, with peak effectiveness when started in early spring before tick populations explode. Starting treatments in April allows you to target ticks before they become active and begin reproducing. However, tick control can be effective whenever you’re seeing tick activity. Even mid-summer treatments provide significant relief and protection for the remainder of the season.
Yes, we stand behind our tick control treatments. If you’re still finding significant tick activity in treated areas within two weeks of service, we’ll return to reassess and retreat problem areas at no additional charge. Keep in mind that you may still encounter occasional ticks from untreated areas or neighboring properties, but you should see a dramatic reduction in tick populations where we’ve applied treatment. Our guarantee covers the effectiveness of our application, not complete elimination of every tick on your property.
Tick control pricing depends on your property size, the extent of tick habitat, and how many treatments you need. Most residential properties in Downs Farms range from $150-400 per treatment. Larger properties or those requiring more extensive treatment will cost more. We provide free estimates that include a property assessment and customized treatment plan. Many customers find that seasonal treatment packages offer better value than individual applications, and the cost is minimal compared to potential medical expenses from tick-borne illnesses.
