Reclaim Your Outdoor Space

You shouldn’t have to choose between enjoying your yard and protecting your family. When ticks take over your outdoor spaces, every barbecue becomes a source of anxiety and every evening outside turns into a tick inspection.

Professional tick control changes that reality. Within days of treatment, you’ll notice fewer ticks in the areas where your family spends time. Your kids can play on the grass without you scanning every blade for movement. Your pets can roam freely without becoming tick magnets.

The real difference shows up in how you use your property. You’ll actually want to spend time outside again. Weekend projects become enjoyable instead of stressful. Your yard transforms from a source of worry into the outdoor retreat you originally envisioned.

Kirkwood Tick Control Experts

We Know New Jersey Ticks

86 Pest and Wildlife Removal has been protecting Kirkwood families from tick infestations for years. We understand exactly which tick species thrive in our area and where they’re most likely to establish populations on your property.

New Jersey’s tick problem isn’t going anywhere. Our wooded neighborhoods and humid summers create perfect conditions for tick reproduction. That’s why we focus on long-term prevention strategies rather than quick fixes that leave you dealing with the same problem next month.

Every technician is licensed and trained specifically in tick biology and behavior. We know the difference between treating a minor tick presence and eliminating an established population that’s been building all season.

Tick Control Treatment Process

Simple Process, Lasting Results

Our process starts with a thorough property inspection to identify tick hotspots and breeding areas. Most homeowners are surprised to learn where ticks actually concentrate on their property. It’s rarely where you’d expect.

Treatment focuses on these high-activity zones using professional-grade products that target ticks at multiple life stages. The application covers areas where ticks rest during the day and travel routes they use to find hosts. This targeted approach is far more effective than blanket spraying your entire yard.

Follow-up monitoring ensures the treatment is working and catches any new tick activity before it becomes a problem. Most properties see significant tick reduction within 48 hours, with continued improvement over the following weeks. The goal is creating a protective barrier that keeps working long after the initial treatment.

Comprehensive Tick Yard Treatment

What's Included in Treatment

Your tick control service includes a complete property assessment to map tick activity and identify problem areas. Many homeowners discover their tick problem is concentrated in specific zones rather than spread evenly across their property.

Treatment targets these hotspots with EPA-approved products designed specifically for tick elimination. The application method ensures maximum effectiveness while maintaining safety around children and pets. You’ll receive detailed information about what was treated and what to expect in the coming weeks.

We also provide guidance on simple property modifications that make your yard less attractive to ticks long-term. Small changes in landscaping and maintenance can significantly reduce future tick populations. You’ll know exactly what steps to take to keep your property protected between professional treatments.

How quickly does professional tick control start working?

You’ll typically see a noticeable reduction in tick activity within 48 to 72 hours after treatment. The products we use target ticks at multiple life stages, so adult ticks die quickly while larvae and nymphs are eliminated over the following weeks. Most families report feeling comfortable using their yard again within a week of treatment. The full effect builds over time as the treatment continues working against ticks that weren’t directly contacted during application but encounter treated areas later.
Yes, our professional tick control uses EPA-approved products specifically designed for residential use around families. The application method and products are selected based on your specific situation and safety requirements. Children and pets should stay inside during application and until the treatment dries, usually 2-3 hours. After that, treated areas are safe for normal family activities. The products break down naturally over time while continuing to provide tick protection, so there’s no long-term residue concern.
Our professional tick control typically provides 6-8 weeks of protection, depending on weather conditions and tick pressure in your area. Heavy rain can reduce effectiveness, while dry conditions help treatments last longer. Most properties benefit from treatments every 6-8 weeks during peak tick season (May through September) for continuous protection. The treatment creates a barrier effect that continues working even as it gradually breaks down, providing extended protection beyond the initial application period.
Treatment focuses on areas where ticks actually live and travel, not your entire property. This includes woodland edges, tall grass areas, brush piles, and transition zones between lawn and landscaping. Ticks rarely live in open, sunny lawn areas, so treatment concentrates on shaded, humid spots where they thrive. Our property inspection identifies these specific zones on your land. This targeted approach is more effective than treating areas where ticks don’t typically establish populations.
Most properties require multiple treatments during tick season for effective control. A single treatment will reduce the current tick population significantly, but ticks from neighboring areas will eventually move back onto your property. Regular treatments every 6-8 weeks maintain the protective barrier and prevent new tick populations from establishing. Properties with heavy tick pressure or those bordering wooded areas typically need consistent treatment throughout the season for best results.
Tick control pricing depends on your property size and the extent of treatment needed. Most residential properties in Kirkwood range from $150-300 per treatment. Properties with extensive wooded areas or heavy tick populations may cost more due to the additional time and materials required. The investment is typically much less than the cost of treating tick-borne illnesses or the ongoing expense of ineffective DIY products. A property assessment provides exact pricing based on your specific situation and treatment needs.
