Pest Control for Ticks Process

How We Eliminate Your Tick Problem

First, we inspect your property to identify tick hotspots. These are usually areas with tall grass, leaf litter, brush piles, and the edges where your lawn meets wooded areas. Ticks don’t randomly scatter—they concentrate in specific zones.

Next, we apply professional-grade treatments directly to these problem areas. We’re not spraying your entire yard with chemicals. We’re targeting the spots where ticks actually live and breed.

The treatment creates a barrier that eliminates existing ticks and prevents new ones from establishing themselves. Most customers see dramatic results within 24-48 hours. We’ll schedule follow-up treatments based on your property’s specific needs and the severity of the infestation.

What's Included in Tick Control

Every tick control service includes a thorough property inspection, targeted treatment application, and a detailed explanation of what we found and how we’re addressing it. You’ll know exactly which areas of your yard were treated and why.

We use EPA-approved products that are effective against ticks but safe around children and pets once dry. The treatments are applied with precision equipment that ensures even coverage in tick habitat areas without over-treating your entire landscape.

Ellisburg properties often have specific challenges—proximity to wooded areas, moisture retention in certain yard sections, and landscaping that creates ideal tick environments. We adjust our approach based on your property’s unique characteristics and the level of tick activity we discover during inspection.

How quickly does professional tick control work in my yard?

Most customers see a significant reduction in tick activity within 24-48 hours after treatment. The products we use are designed to eliminate ticks on contact and create a residual barrier that continues working for weeks. However, you might still find occasional ticks for the first few days as treatments reach ticks in deeper vegetation and hiding spots. Complete elimination typically occurs within a week of the initial treatment, depending on the severity of the infestation and weather conditions.
Yes, when applied by licensed professionals using EPA-approved products. We use treatments that are specifically formulated to be effective against ticks while minimizing risk to humans and animals. The key is proper application—we target tick habitats rather than broadly spraying areas where your family spends time. Once treatments dry (usually 2-4 hours), treated areas are safe for normal use. We’ll provide specific instructions about timing and any temporary restrictions based on the products used on your property.
Most Ellisburg properties benefit from treatments every 6-8 weeks during tick season, which runs from April through October in New Jersey. Properties with heavy wooded borders, persistent moisture issues, or previous severe infestations may need more frequent applications initially. We’ll assess your specific situation during the first visit and recommend a schedule based on your property’s tick pressure, landscape characteristics, and your family’s outdoor activity level. Many customers opt for monthly treatments during peak season (May through September) for maximum protection.
We focus on areas where ticks actually live and travel—not your entire yard. This includes tall grass areas, leaf litter, brush piles, the transition zones between lawn and wooded areas, around decks and patios, garden borders, and anywhere vegetation is dense enough to maintain the humidity ticks need. We don’t typically treat open lawn areas where ticks can’t survive. During the inspection, we’ll walk your property with you and point out the specific zones we’re targeting, so you understand exactly why certain areas need treatment.
Tick control dramatically reduces tick populations and creates barriers that prevent re-infestation, but ticks can be reintroduced from neighboring properties, wildlife, and pets. That’s why ongoing treatments during tick season are important—they maintain the protective barrier and address any new tick activity before it becomes a problem. Think of it like lawn maintenance: one treatment makes a huge difference, but consistent care keeps your yard protected. Most customers find that regular treatments reduce their tick encounters by 85-95% compared to untreated properties.
Tick control pricing depends on your property size, the extent of tick habitat areas, and treatment frequency. Most residential properties in Ellisburg range from $150-400 per treatment, with larger or heavily wooded lots requiring more extensive applications. We provide exact pricing after inspecting your property because effective treatment depends on targeting the right areas with the right amount of product. Many customers find the cost reasonable compared to the peace of mind and outdoor enjoyment they get back, especially when considering the potential medical costs of tick-borne illness treatment.
