What Life Looks Like Tick-Free

You’ll walk through your yard without constantly checking your legs. Your kids can play in the grass without you worrying about finding ticks at bath time. Your dog can run through the bushes, and you won’t spend twenty minutes checking for hitchhikers afterward.

That’s what effective tick control for your yard actually delivers. Not just fewer ticks—real peace of mind when you step outside. You’ll garden without gloves on. Host backyard barbecues without warning guests to stay on the patio. Let your family enjoy the outdoor space you’re paying for.

The best part? You won’t think about ticks every time you see tall grass or brush. When tick control is done right, you simply forget they were ever a problem.

We Know New Jersey Ticks

We’ve been handling tick problems across New Jersey for years. We understand how ticks move through properties here, where they hide, and when they’re most active in our climate.

We’re not a national chain reading from a script. We know that Ivystone Farms properties often back up to wooded areas where deer ticks thrive. We know the difference between dog ticks and the blacklegged ticks that carry Lyme disease.

That local knowledge matters when you’re dealing with something that can make your family sick. We’ve seen what works and what doesn’t in neighborhoods just like yours.

How We Clear Ticks From Properties

First, we walk your property to identify tick hotspots. That’s usually where your lawn meets wooded areas, around stone walls, in tall grass, and anywhere deer travel. These transition zones are where ticks wait for hosts.

Next, we apply targeted treatments to these high-risk areas using professional-grade products that aren’t available to homeowners. We’re not spraying your entire yard—we’re focusing on the places ticks actually live and travel.

Finally, we schedule follow-up treatments based on your property’s tick pressure and the season. Spring and early summer need more attention. Fall treatments target ticks before they go dormant. The goal is keeping tick populations low throughout the active season, not just killing the ones you can see today.

What's Included in Tick Treatment

You get a thorough property inspection to map out where ticks are actually living and traveling. Most homeowners guess wrong about where their tick problem is coming from. We find the source.

Treatment focuses on perimeter areas, brush lines, tall grass, and anywhere we find evidence of deer or other wildlife. We use EPA-approved products that target ticks without wiping out beneficial insects like bees and butterflies.

You also get practical advice about habitat modification—simple changes that make your property less attractive to ticks long-term. Things like keeping grass short in certain areas, managing brush piles, and understanding how landscaping choices affect tick populations. The treatment handles the immediate problem. The habitat advice helps prevent future infestations.

How quickly does professional tick control start working?

You’ll see a significant reduction in active ticks within 24-48 hours of treatment. The products we use are designed to kill ticks on contact and provide residual protection for several weeks. However, complete control takes a bit longer because ticks in different life stages respond at different rates. Newly hatched ticks and those that weren’t directly exposed to the treatment may still appear for a few days. Most customers notice they can walk through previously tick-heavy areas without picking up any ticks within a week of the initial treatment.
The products we use are EPA-approved for residential use around families and pets when applied correctly. We typically recommend keeping children and pets inside during application and until the treatment has dried, usually about 2-3 hours. After that, treated areas are safe for normal family activities. We focus treatments on perimeter areas and tick habitats rather than spaces where kids and pets spend most of their time. We also avoid treating vegetable gardens or areas near wells. If you have specific health concerns or very young children, we can discuss additional precautions or alternative treatment options.
Most properties need 3-4 treatments during tick season, which runs from April through October in New Jersey. We typically recommend treatments in early spring, late spring, mid-summer, and early fall. Properties with heavy woods, lots of deer activity, or previous tick problems may need more frequent attention. Properties with well-maintained lawns and less wildlife pressure might need fewer treatments. After the initial treatment, we assess how your property responds and adjust the schedule accordingly. The goal is maintaining low tick populations throughout the active season, not just reacting when you find ticks.
Professional treatments use commercial-grade products with higher active ingredient concentrations and longer residual effects than consumer sprays. We also have access to products that aren’t available in stores. More importantly, we know where to apply treatments for maximum effectiveness. Most homeowners spray their entire yard, which wastes product and isn’t necessary. Ticks live in specific microhabitats, and treating those areas strategically gives much better results. We also understand tick biology and seasonal patterns, so we time treatments when they’ll have the biggest impact on tick populations. DIY treatments often fail because of poor timing, wrong application areas, or products that don’t last long enough.
When applied correctly, tick treatments have minimal impact on beneficial insects. We use targeted applications in areas where ticks live—typically shaded, brushy areas along property perimeters—rather than broad-spectrum spraying of flowering plants where bees forage. The products we use break down relatively quickly in sunlight, and we avoid treating during peak pollinator activity times. We also don’t treat flowering shrubs or garden areas unless absolutely necessary. If you have beehives or are particularly concerned about pollinators, we can adjust our approach to use even more targeted methods or alternative products with shorter residual periods.
Professional tick control dramatically reduces tick populations but rarely eliminates every single tick, especially on properties that border wooded areas or have wildlife traffic. The goal is reducing tick numbers to the point where encounters become rare rather than daily occurrences. Most customers go from finding multiple ticks after yard work to maybe finding one tick over an entire season. Complete elimination is difficult because ticks can travel on deer, birds, and other wildlife that move between properties. However, consistent treatment keeps populations low enough that your family can use outdoor spaces normally without constant worry about tick exposure.
