Meadowbrook Tick Control Experts

We Know New Jersey Ticks

We at 86 Pest and Wildlife Removal have been protecting Meadowbrook families from tick infestations for years. We understand how New Jersey’s climate and terrain create perfect conditions for deer ticks, dog ticks, and other species that carry serious diseases.

Our technicians aren’t just spraying chemicals and hoping for the best. They’re trained specifically in tick behavior, breeding patterns, and the most effective treatment methods for our local environment. We’ve seen what works and what doesn’t in yards just like yours.

When you call us, you’re getting a team that knows the difference between a quick fix and real protection. We’re licensed, insured, and focused on results that last.

Our Tick Control Process

Thorough Treatment, Real Results

First, we inspect your entire property to identify tick hotspots. These are usually areas with tall grass, leaf litter, wood piles, and the edges where your lawn meets wooded areas. Ticks don’t just randomly appear everywhere – they have preferred hangout spots.

Next, we apply targeted treatments to these high-risk areas using products specifically designed for tick elimination. We’re not just treating your whole yard with a generic spray. We focus on where ticks actually live and breed, which makes the treatment more effective and uses fewer chemicals overall.

Finally, we schedule follow-up visits during peak tick season to ensure the treatment is holding up. Tick control isn’t a one-and-done service – these pests are persistent, and effective control requires ongoing attention during the months when they’re most active.

Comprehensive Tick Yard Treatment

What's Included in Your Service

Your tick control service includes a complete property assessment to map out problem areas and potential breeding sites. We treat all identified tick habitats with professional-grade products that are effective against both adult ticks and developing stages.

You’ll receive specific recommendations for maintaining a tick-resistant yard between treatments. This might include guidance on lawn maintenance, debris removal, and landscaping changes that make your property less attractive to ticks long-term.

We also provide follow-up inspections to monitor treatment effectiveness and adjust our approach if needed. Tick populations can vary based on weather, wildlife activity, and seasonal changes, so we stay flexible with our treatment strategy to ensure consistent protection for your family.

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

Most Meadowbrook properties need treatments every 6-8 weeks during tick season, which runs from April through October in New Jersey. The exact frequency depends on your property’s risk factors – homes near wooded areas or with heavy wildlife traffic may need more frequent treatments. We typically recommend starting treatments in early spring before tick activity peaks, then maintaining regular applications through fall. During winter months, tick activity drops significantly, so treatments usually aren’t necessary. We’ll assess your specific situation and recommend a schedule that provides consistent protection without over-treating your property.
Yes, when applied by licensed professionals using proper techniques and products. We use EPA-approved treatments that are specifically designed for residential use around families and pets. The key is proper application – we target areas where ticks actually live rather than blanket-spraying your entire yard. Most treatments require a brief drying period (usually 2-4 hours) before the area is safe for normal use. We’ll give you specific instructions about timing and any precautions to take. Our technicians are trained in safe application methods, and we’re happy to discuss the products we use and answer any questions about ingredients or safety protocols.
Deer ticks (also called blacklegged ticks) are the primary concern in our area because they can transmit Lyme disease, anaplasmosis, and babesiosis. These are tiny – about the size of a poppy seed when not engorged. Dog ticks are also common and are larger and easier to spot, but they typically don’t carry Lyme disease. Both species are active during warmer months, with deer ticks sometimes active during mild winter days. Lone star ticks are becoming more common in New Jersey as well. Each species has slightly different habitat preferences and activity patterns, which is why professional identification and targeted treatment is more effective than generic DIY approaches.
You should notice a significant reduction in tick activity within 24-48 hours of treatment. However, complete elimination takes a bit longer because some ticks may be in areas we can’t directly treat (like neighboring properties) and can migrate back into your yard. The full effect of treatment typically develops over 1-2 weeks as the products work through the tick population. Keep in mind that seeing an occasional tick after treatment doesn’t mean the service failed – it often means ticks are moving in from untreated areas and encountering the treatment barrier. This is why we schedule follow-up visits and why consistent treatment throughout tick season is important for maintaining protection.
DIY tick control products are available, but they’re usually less effective than professional treatments. Most store-bought sprays aren’t strong enough to eliminate established tick populations, and homeowners often miss the specific areas where ticks actually live and breed. Effective tick control requires understanding tick biology, identifying the right treatment zones, and using commercial-grade products that aren’t available to consumers. Professional equipment also allows for more precise application and better coverage of problem areas. If you’ve tried DIY methods without success, or if you’re dealing with a significant tick problem, professional treatment will save you time and frustration while providing better protection for your family.
We stand behind our work with follow-up inspections and retreatment if necessary. However, tick control guarantees need to be realistic – we can’t control ticks migrating from neighboring properties or prevent new infestations from wildlife activity. What we can guarantee is that we’ll use proven methods, apply treatments correctly, and work with you to address any ongoing issues. If you’re still seeing significant tick activity in treated areas after the initial treatment period, we’ll return to reassess and retreat at no additional charge. Our goal is your satisfaction and your family’s protection, so we’ll keep working until we achieve the level of control you need.
