Reclaim Your Outdoor Space

You shouldn’t have to worry every time your kids play outside or your dog runs through the grass. Effective tick control means you can actually use your yard again without constantly checking for ticks or stressing about disease transmission.

Our targeted treatments eliminate existing tick populations and create a barrier against future infestations. You’ll notice fewer ticks within days of treatment, and with our ongoing prevention approach, you can maintain that protection throughout tick season.

New Jersey has some of the highest Lyme disease rates in the country, but that doesn’t mean you have to live in fear of your own backyard. Professional tick control gives you the confidence to enjoy outdoor barbecues, let your pets roam freely, and stop obsessing over every outdoor activity.

Fox Hollow Woods Pest Control

We Know New Jersey Ticks

86 Pest and Wildlife Removal has been handling tick problems for Fox Hollow Woods residents who are tired of ineffective DIY solutions and want real results. We understand the specific tick species common to our area and when they’re most active.

Our team focuses on both immediate elimination and long-term prevention because we know how quickly tick populations can bounce back. We’ve seen what works and what doesn’t, and we’re not interested in temporary fixes that leave you dealing with the same problem months later.

Tick Control Process

Straightforward Tick Elimination

We start with a thorough inspection of your property to identify tick hotspots, breeding areas, and the specific species we’re dealing with. Different ticks require different approaches, and a generic spray-and-pray method rarely delivers lasting results.

Our treatment targets the areas where ticks actually live and reproduce – not just the obvious spots. We focus on the transition zones between your lawn and wooded areas, tall grass, leaf litter, and other tick-friendly environments that most homeowners miss.

Follow-up treatments ensure we break the tick lifecycle completely. Ticks have multiple life stages, and timing our treatments correctly means eliminating them before they can reproduce and create the next generation of problems for your family.

Comprehensive Yard Tick Treatment

What's Included in Tick Control

You get a complete property assessment that identifies exactly where ticks are thriving on your land. We don’t just treat your lawn – we address the specific microenvironments where ticks actually live and breed.

Our treatments are designed with your family and pets in mind. We use targeted applications that eliminate ticks without creating unsafe conditions for the people and animals who use your yard every day.

You’ll receive specific guidance on maintaining your tick-free environment between treatments. Simple landscape modifications and maintenance practices can significantly extend the effectiveness of our professional treatments and keep tick populations from re-establishing.

How quickly does professional tick control start working?

You’ll typically see a significant reduction in tick activity within 24-48 hours of treatment. However, complete elimination takes longer because we need to address ticks in all life stages. Adult ticks die quickly from direct contact with our treatments, but larvae and nymphs in protected areas may take several days to encounter the treatment. This is why we focus on treating the specific areas where ticks develop and travel, not just broadcasting treatment across your entire property. Most customers notice they can use their yards comfortably within a week of initial treatment.
Yes, when applied correctly by professionals. We use targeted applications that focus on areas where ticks live rather than blanket spraying your entire yard. The products we use break down quickly in sunlight and don’t persist in areas where your family spends time. We’ll provide specific guidance on timing – typically you’ll want to keep kids and pets inside during application and for a few hours afterward, but normal yard use can resume the same day. This is much safer than having disease-carrying ticks on your property or repeatedly applying over-the-counter products that often require more frequent reapplication.
Most properties need 2-3 treatments per season for effective tick control. We typically recommend an early spring treatment when ticks become active, a mid-season treatment during peak activity, and sometimes a fall treatment depending on your specific situation. The frequency depends on several factors: how heavily wooded your property is, whether you have deer traffic, your proximity to tick-friendly habitats, and how quickly tick populations typically recover in your area. Some customers with minimal tick pressure can maintain control with fewer treatments, while properties with heavy wildlife traffic or dense vegetation may need more frequent attention.
Professional treatment targets where ticks actually live and breed, not just where you see them. Most homeowners spray their lawn, but ticks spend most of their time in leaf litter, tall grass edges, and transition zones between different vegetation types. We know which specific areas to treat and which products work best for different tick species and life stages. Store-bought products often provide temporary knockdown but don’t address the underlying population or prevent re-infestation. Professional treatments also use products that aren’t available to consumers and application techniques that maximize effectiveness while minimizing environmental impact.
Professional tick control dramatically reduces tick populations, but complete elimination isn’t realistic on most properties, especially those near wooded areas or with wildlife traffic. Our goal is to reduce tick numbers to the point where encounters become rare rather than routine. You should be able to use your yard normally without constantly finding ticks on yourself, your family, or your pets. The key is maintaining low enough populations that ticks don’t establish breeding areas on your property. Properties with ongoing treatments typically see 85-95% reduction in tick encounters compared to untreated areas.
Early spring, before tick activity peaks, gives you the best results. In New Jersey, this typically means starting treatments in April or early May, depending on weather conditions. Starting early allows us to target ticks before they become fully active and begin reproducing. However, tick control can be effective any time during the active season if you’re already dealing with a problem. Fall treatments can also be valuable because they target adult ticks before they overwinter and lay eggs for next year’s population. The worst time to wait is until you’re already finding multiple ticks after every outdoor activity – at that point, you’re dealing with an established population that takes longer to control.
