Our Tick Control Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we inspect your property to identify where ticks are actually living and breeding. This isn’t guesswork – we know the specific areas where ticks thrive in Hickstown yards.

Next, we apply targeted treatments to these problem areas using professional-grade products that eliminate existing ticks and prevent new populations from establishing. We focus on the spots where ticks are most likely to encounter your family and pets.

Finally, we schedule follow-up treatments during peak tick season to maintain protection. Tick control isn’t a one-and-done service – it requires consistent attention during the months when these pests are most active in New Jersey.

Best Tick Control Treatment

What's Included in Professional Treatment

You get a thorough property inspection that identifies current tick populations and the conditions that attract them. We treat the areas where ticks actually live – not just spray randomly around your yard.

Our treatments target the specific tick species common in Hickstown, including the blacklegged ticks that carry Lyme disease. We use EPA-approved products that are effective against ticks but safe for your family and pets when applied correctly.

You also get seasonal follow-up treatments during peak tick activity months. This ongoing protection is what separates professional tick control from the temporary fixes you get with store-bought sprays.

How often do I need tick control treatments for my yard?

Most Hickstown properties need treatments every 6-8 weeks during peak tick season, which runs from April through September in New Jersey. The exact schedule depends on your property’s specific conditions – areas with more shade, moisture, or wildlife activity typically need more frequent attention. We’ll recommend a treatment schedule based on what we find during your initial inspection. Some customers only need spring and early summer treatments, while others with heavily wooded properties need monthly service during peak season.
Yes, when applied by professionals using EPA-approved products according to label instructions. We use treatments specifically designed to eliminate ticks while minimizing risk to people and pets. The products we apply break down relatively quickly in the environment but provide lasting tick control. We’ll provide specific instructions about when it’s safe for your family and pets to return to treated areas – typically within a few hours of application. This is much safer than having disease-carrying ticks living in your yard.
Professional tick control dramatically reduces tick populations and prevents them from establishing breeding areas on your property, but ticks can be reintroduced by wildlife, pets, or even on clothing. That’s why ongoing treatments during tick season are important for maintaining protection. A single treatment will eliminate existing ticks, but new ones can move in from neighboring properties or wooded areas. With regular professional treatments, you’ll see a significant reduction in tick encounters and much better protection for your family.
You’ll see dead and dying ticks within 24-48 hours of treatment, with maximum effectiveness reached within a week. The treatments continue working for several weeks after application, killing ticks that come into contact with treated areas. However, the full protective benefit builds over time with consistent treatments – ticks that might have been breeding in hidden areas need time to encounter the treatment and be eliminated. Most customers notice a significant difference in tick encounters within two weeks of their first professional treatment.
We focus on areas where ticks actually live and where your family is most likely to encounter them. This typically includes the edges where your lawn meets wooded areas, shaded spots under decks or shrubs, areas where pets spend time, and transition zones between different types of vegetation. We don’t waste time treating open, sunny lawn areas where ticks rarely survive. During our inspection, we’ll identify the specific microenvironments on your property that support tick populations and concentrate our efforts there for maximum effectiveness.
Professional tick control typically costs more upfront than store-bought sprays, but it’s significantly more cost-effective when you consider the results. DIY products often require multiple applications with limited success, while professional treatments use stronger, more targeted products that actually eliminate tick populations. When you factor in the time, repeated purchases of ineffective products, and the peace of mind that comes with professional results, most customers find professional service provides better value. We can provide specific pricing based on your property size and treatment needs during our inspection.
