Magnolia Tick Control Experts

We Know New Jersey Ticks

We at 86 Pest and Wildlife Removal have been protecting Magnolia families from tick infestations for years. We understand how New Jersey’s deer tick populations behave, where they hide, and what it takes to eliminate them from residential properties.

Our approach goes beyond surface treatments. We identify the wildlife that carries ticks onto your property and address the root cause. When you’re dealing with both pest control and wildlife management, you need someone who understands both sides of the problem.

We’ve seen what happens when tick control is done wrong – homeowners waste money on treatments that don’t work, and families continue living in fear of their own backyards. That’s not how it should be.

Our Tick Control Process

How We Eliminate Ticks Completely

First, we inspect your entire property to identify tick habitats and the wildlife bringing them in. Ticks don’t just appear – they’re carried by deer, mice, and other animals that treat your yard like their personal highway.

We target the areas where ticks actually live and breed – not just spray randomly and hope for the best. Tall grass edges, wooded borders, leaf litter, and anywhere wildlife travels regularly. These are the spots that need professional-grade treatment.

Then we address the wildlife component. If deer are bedding down in your yard or mice are nesting near your foundation, tick control becomes a never-ending battle. We handle both the ticks and their transportation system.

Follow-up treatments happen during peak tick season to maintain protection. Spring through fall is when ticks are most active in New Jersey, so timing matters. You get ongoing protection when you need it most, not just a one-time spray and prayer.

Complete Yard Tick Treatment

What's Included in Tick Control

You get a thorough property assessment that identifies every tick habitat on your land. We don’t just treat the obvious spots – we find the hidden areas where ticks are actually living and reproducing.

Professional-grade treatments that aren’t available to homeowners. The products you can buy at the store simply aren’t strong enough to handle established tick populations. We use targeted applications that eliminate ticks without turning your yard into a chemical wasteland.

Wildlife management recommendations that address the source of your tick problem. Sometimes the solution involves modifying landscaping, sometimes it requires wildlife exclusion, and sometimes both. We give you the complete picture so ticks don’t just come right back.

Seasonal treatment scheduling that matches New Jersey’s tick activity patterns. You’re not paying for unnecessary treatments in winter, and you’re not left unprotected during peak tick months. Everything is timed to give you maximum protection when you actually need it.

When is tick season in New Jersey and when should I treat my yard?

Tick season in New Jersey runs from April through October, with peak activity in late spring and early summer. Deer ticks are most active when temperatures are above 45 degrees, which means they can be a problem even in mild winter weather. The best time to start tick control is early spring before populations explode. Many homeowners wait until they find ticks on their family or pets, but by then you’re dealing with an established population that’s much harder to control. Starting treatment in March or April prevents ticks from gaining a foothold in your yard in the first place.
Professional tick control treatments are designed to be safe for families when applied correctly. We use targeted applications that focus on tick habitats rather than blanket spraying your entire property. The products break down quickly in sunlight and don’t leave harmful residues in areas where your kids and pets spend time. That said, we always recommend keeping children and pets inside during application and until the treatment has dried completely. This is standard practice that ensures maximum safety while still delivering effective tick control. DIY treatments are often more dangerous because homeowners tend to over-apply products or use them in the wrong areas.
Most properties need tick control treatments every 6-8 weeks during active tick season to maintain protection. The exact schedule depends on your property’s tick pressure, wildlife activity, and environmental factors like rainfall and temperature. Properties with heavy deer traffic or wooded borders typically need more frequent treatments than open, sunny yards with minimal wildlife. We don’t believe in cookie-cutter treatment schedules because every property is different. After the initial treatment, we monitor tick activity and adjust the schedule based on what your specific property needs. Some yards need monthly treatments during peak season, while others can go longer between applications.
Professional tick control uses commercial-grade products that aren’t available to consumers and targets the specific areas where ticks actually live and breed. Store-bought sprays are designed for general use and often miss the mark entirely. Most homeowners spray their lawn when they should be focusing on leaf litter, wooded edges, and areas where wildlife travels. Professional treatments also last longer and remain effective through rain and irrigation. The biggest difference is knowledge – we know where ticks hide, how they behave, and what products actually work against New Jersey’s tick species. DIY treatments usually fail because homeowners are guessing about where to spray and what products to use.
No reputable pest control company can guarantee you’ll never see another tick, and you should be suspicious of anyone who makes that promise. Ticks are mobile pests that can be carried onto your property by wildlife, pets, or even on your clothing. What we can guarantee is a dramatic reduction in tick populations and ongoing protection that makes tick encounters rare rather than routine. Most customers go from finding multiple ticks weekly to maybe seeing one or two per season. The goal isn’t to create a sterile environment – it’s to reduce tick populations to levels where your family can enjoy the outdoors safely. Effective tick control means you stop worrying about ticks every time you step outside.
Basic yard maintenance makes tick control more effective, but we don’t require extensive preparation before treatment. Keeping grass cut short, removing leaf litter, and trimming back vegetation along wooded borders helps reduce tick habitat. If you have bird feeders, consider relocating them away from areas where your family spends time – they attract rodents that carry ticks. We’ll walk your property before treatment and point out any specific areas that need attention. The most important thing is giving us access to tick habitats around your property perimeter. We can work around most landscaping and outdoor furniture, but we need to reach the areas where ticks actually live to deliver effective control.
