The result is simple: you can actually use your outdoor space again. No more tick checks after every trip outside. No more avoiding the parts of your yard where ticks like to wait. Just the peace of mind that comes from knowing your property is protected by people who do this for a living.

Tick Control Companies Greenhaven

We Know New Jersey Ticks

86 Pest and Wildlife Removal has been protecting Greenhaven properties from ticks and other pests for years. We’re not a national chain following a generic playbook – we’re local professionals who understand exactly which tick species you’re dealing with and when they’re most active in our area.

New Jersey has some of the highest Lyme disease rates in the country, which means tick control here isn’t just about comfort – it’s about health. We’ve seen what happens when homeowners try to handle tick problems themselves, and we’ve built our approach around what actually works in real New Jersey yards.

Our team is licensed, insured, and focused on one thing: making sure ticks don’t turn your property into a health hazard for your family and pets.

Best Tick Control Process

Straightforward Tick Elimination Process

We start with a thorough inspection of your property to identify where ticks are hiding and breeding. This isn’t just a quick walk-around – we’re looking for the specific conditions that attract ticks, like areas with tall grass, brush piles, and the transition zones between your lawn and wooded areas.

Next comes the treatment itself. We use professional-grade products that eliminate ticks at all life stages, applied exactly where ticks spend their time. This includes the perimeter of your property, areas around decks and patios, and anywhere your family and pets spend time outdoors.

The treatment creates a protective barrier that continues working for months. We’ll schedule follow-up visits during peak tick season to maintain that protection and address any new tick activity. You’ll know exactly when we’re coming and what to expect, so there are no surprises.

Yard Tick Treatment Options

Complete Tick Protection Service

Our tick control service covers your entire property, not just the obvious areas. We treat the lawn, landscaped areas, property perimeters, and transition zones where ticks typically wait for hosts. The treatment targets both adult ticks and developing stages to break the reproduction cycle.

You get a detailed explanation of what we’re doing and why, plus specific recommendations for maintaining tick control between treatments. This might include suggestions for lawn maintenance, brush removal, or other habitat modifications that make your property less attractive to ticks.

We use EPA-approved products that are effective against ticks but safe around children and pets when applied correctly. Our application methods ensure thorough coverage while minimizing any impact on beneficial insects or your landscaping. Each treatment comes with clear instructions about when it’s safe to resume normal outdoor activities.

How long does tick control treatment last in my yard?

Most professional tick treatments provide 6-8 weeks of protection, though this can vary based on weather conditions and tick pressure in your area. Heavy rain can reduce effectiveness, while dry conditions typically extend it. We recommend treatments every 6-8 weeks during peak tick season (April through September in New Jersey) for continuous protection. Some customers opt for monthly treatments if they have heavy tick pressure or immunocompromised family members. We’ll assess your specific situation and recommend a schedule that makes sense for your property and budget.
Yes, when applied by licensed professionals using EPA-approved products and proper application methods. We use products specifically designed for residential use that break down quickly in the environment while remaining effective against ticks. Children and pets should stay inside during application and until the treatment dries completely, usually 2-4 hours depending on weather. After that, normal outdoor activities can resume. We always provide specific safety instructions for your treatment and are happy to discuss any concerns about family members with allergies or sensitivities.
Professional tick control treatments are designed to minimize impact on beneficial insects when applied correctly. We avoid treating flowering plants when possible and time applications to avoid periods when bees are most active. The products we use break down relatively quickly in sunlight and don’t persist in the environment like some older pesticides. However, there can be some temporary impact on insects in treated areas. We’ll discuss your specific concerns about beneficial insects and can adjust our approach if you have beehives or particularly sensitive plantings on your property.
Minimal preparation is needed, but a few simple steps help ensure the best results. Mow your lawn within a day or two of treatment so we can reach ticks hiding in the grass. Remove any toys, pet bowls, or outdoor furniture from areas we’ll be treating. If you have a vegetable garden, let us know so we can avoid those areas or discuss appropriate buffer zones. Make sure we can access all areas of your property, including gates to fenced yards. We’ll provide a complete preparation checklist when we schedule your service.
We control all tick species common to New Jersey, including deer ticks (which carry Lyme disease), dog ticks, and lone star ticks. Deer ticks are usually our primary concern because they’re small, aggressive, and carry multiple diseases including Lyme disease and anaplasmosis. Dog ticks are larger and easier to spot but can transmit Rocky Mountain spotted fever. Our treatments target all life stages of these ticks – larvae, nymphs, and adults. We understand the seasonal patterns of each species and time treatments accordingly to provide maximum protection when tick activity peaks.
You’ll typically see a significant reduction in tick activity within 24-48 hours of treatment. Existing ticks in treated areas will die off quickly, and new ticks entering your property will be eliminated as they contact treated surfaces. However, it’s important to understand that tick control is an ongoing process – ticks from neighboring properties can migrate into your yard, especially after heavy rain or if you’re near wooded areas. This is why we recommend regular treatments throughout tick season rather than expecting a single application to solve the problem permanently.
