Gloucester City Pest Control Experts

We Know New Jersey Ticks

We’ve been handling tick problems in Gloucester City and surrounding areas for years. We understand how deer ticks and dog ticks behave in our local climate and terrain.

We’re not a huge national chain that treats every property the same way. We know which areas of South Jersey properties tend to harbor the most ticks and why your neighbor’s yard might be tick-free while yours isn’t.

Our technicians are licensed, insured, and trained specifically on the tick species that cause problems here. We’ve seen what works and what doesn’t in real New Jersey yards.

Tick Control Treatment Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we inspect your entire property to identify where ticks are actually living and breeding. Most people are surprised to learn ticks aren’t just randomly scattered around – they concentrate in specific areas based on moisture, shade, and wildlife activity.

We target these harborage areas with professional-grade treatments that eliminate existing ticks and prevent new ones from establishing. This isn’t the same stuff you buy at the hardware store – we use products that actually penetrate where ticks hide.

We time treatments strategically during peak tick activity periods, typically starting in early spring before populations explode. Follow-up treatments ensure long-term control throughout tick season, so you stay protected when it matters most.

Comprehensive Yard Tick Treatment

What's Included in Tick Control

You get a thorough property inspection that identifies exactly where ticks are concentrated on your land. We treat tall grass areas, brush lines, leaf litter, and other prime tick habitat using targeted application methods.

We focus on the transition zones where your lawn meets wooded areas, stone walls, or overgrown sections – these are tick highways that most homeowners don’t realize are the source of their problems. Treatment includes both immediate knockdown of existing ticks and residual protection.

You’ll receive specific recommendations for reducing tick-friendly conditions on your property, like vegetation management and moisture control. We explain everything we’re doing and why, so you understand how to maintain a tick-reduced environment between treatments.

How quickly does professional tick control start working in my yard?

You’ll see a significant reduction in tick activity within 24-48 hours of treatment. The products we use provide immediate knockdown of existing ticks while establishing residual protection that continues working for weeks. However, complete control takes time because ticks have different life stages and some may emerge from protected areas over the following days. Most customers notice they can walk through previously tick-heavy areas without picking up ticks within a few days of treatment.
Yes, when applied correctly by licensed professionals. We use EPA-registered products specifically designed for residential tick control, and we follow all label requirements for application rates and safety intervals. Typically, we recommend keeping people and pets off treated areas until surfaces are dry, which is usually 2-4 hours depending on weather conditions. Once dry, treated areas are safe for normal family activities. We can also discuss organic and reduced-risk treatment options if you prefer those approaches.
Most properties benefit from treatments every 6-8 weeks during active tick season, which runs roughly from April through October in New Jersey. The exact schedule depends on your property’s tick pressure, surrounding environment, and weather conditions. Properties that border wooded areas or have heavy wildlife activity may need more frequent treatments. We’ll recommend a schedule based on what we observe during your initial inspection and adjust as needed based on results.
Yes, most professional tick control treatments are also effective against fleas since both pests often inhabit similar areas and respond to similar products. Fleas tend to concentrate in shaded, moist areas where pets rest, while ticks prefer transition zones between lawn and natural areas. Our treatment approach targets both pest types simultaneously. If you’re dealing with both ticks and fleas, let us know during the inspection so we can ensure our treatment plan addresses both problems effectively.
Mow your lawn to normal height – not too short, as this can actually make ticks more active. Remove any outdoor pet food, water bowls, and toys from treatment areas. If you have a vegetable garden, let us know so we can work around it or discuss appropriate buffer zones. Don’t water your lawn for 24 hours before treatment, and avoid watering treated areas for 24 hours after. Most importantly, mark any areas where you’ve noticed heavy tick activity so we can pay special attention to those spots.
Consumer tick sprays often fail because they don’t penetrate the areas where ticks actually live and breed. Ticks spend most of their time in leaf litter, dense vegetation, and other protected microhabitats that surface sprays can’t reach effectively. Additionally, many over-the-counter products lack the residual activity needed for long-term control. Professional treatments use specialized equipment to deliver products deep into tick harborage areas and provide weeks of ongoing protection. The active ingredients we use are also more effective against ticks than what’s available to consumers.
