New Freedom Tick Control Company

We Know New Jersey Ticks

86 Pest and Wildlife Removal has been protecting New Freedom families from tick-borne diseases for years. We understand how deer ticks, dog ticks, and lone star ticks behave in our local climate and terrain.

We’re not a national chain reading from a script. We live here, work here, and deal with the same tick pressures you face. Our technicians know which areas of your property ticks prefer and when they’re most active.

Every treatment plan reflects what actually works in New Jersey, not some generic approach that might work somewhere else.

Tick Control Treatment Process

Here's Exactly How We Eliminate Ticks

First, we inspect your entire property to identify tick hotspots. Ticks love tall grass, leaf piles, wood edges, and areas where your yard meets wooded spaces. We map out these problem zones and check moisture levels since ticks need humidity to survive.

Next, we apply targeted treatments to these high-risk areas using professional-grade products that eliminate ticks at all life stages. We focus on the perimeter of your property, around decks and patios, and anywhere your family spends time outdoors.

We schedule follow-up treatments based on tick lifecycle and seasonal patterns. Spring and fall treatments hit them when they’re most active, while summer applications maintain protection during peak outdoor season. You get a treatment schedule that matches how ticks actually behave, not just a calendar-based approach.

Comprehensive Tick Yard Treatment

What's Included in Tick Control

Your tick control service covers the entire outdoor area where your family spends time. We treat your lawn, landscape beds, around playground equipment, and the transition zones between grass and wooded areas where ticks congregate.

We use EPA-approved products that target ticks specifically while being safer for beneficial insects like bees and butterflies. The treatment creates a barrier that eliminates existing ticks and prevents new ones from establishing in your yard.

You receive a detailed property map showing exactly where we treated and recommendations for simple maintenance steps that help keep ticks away between visits. We also provide guidance on landscaping changes that naturally reduce tick habitat if you’re interested in long-term prevention strategies.

How quickly does tick control treatment start working?

You’ll see dead ticks within 24-48 hours of treatment, but the full effect takes about a week as ticks come into contact with treated areas. The products we use have residual activity, meaning they continue killing ticks for weeks after application. Most customers notice a dramatic reduction in tick encounters within the first week, and by the second week, tick activity is typically eliminated in treated areas. The key is that we’re not just killing the ticks you can see – we’re eliminating the ones hiding in vegetation and preventing new ones from moving into your yard.
Yes, when applied by professionals using proper techniques and EPA-approved products. We use targeted applications that focus on areas where ticks live, not where your family plays. Once the treatment dries (usually 2-4 hours), treated areas are safe for normal use. We schedule treatments when you can keep kids and pets inside briefly, then they can resume normal outdoor activities the same day. The products we use are specifically chosen for their effectiveness against ticks while having lower toxicity profiles for mammals. This is much safer than the constant exposure risk from tick-borne diseases like Lyme disease.
Most New Freedom properties need 3-4 treatments per year for optimal protection. We typically recommend treatments in early spring (April), late spring/early summer (June), mid-summer (August), and fall (October). This schedule targets ticks during their most active periods and accounts for their lifecycle stages. Properties with heavy tick pressure or those adjacent to wooded areas might benefit from additional treatments. After the initial year, many customers find they can reduce frequency as the overall tick population on their property decreases. We customize the schedule based on your specific property conditions and tick activity levels.
Our targeted approach minimizes impact on beneficial insects. We focus treatments on areas where ticks live – tall grass, leaf litter, and transition zones – rather than flowering plants where bees feed. The products we use break down relatively quickly in sunlight and don’t persist on flower surfaces. We also time applications to avoid peak pollinator activity periods when possible. While no pesticide is completely selective, professional tick control is far more bee-friendly than broadcast spraying or fogger applications that some homeowners attempt. We can also work around specific pollinator plants or areas if you have particular concerns about bee habitat on your property.
Keep grass mowed to normal height – we actually want to see the areas where ticks hide, so don’t do extra cleanup before we arrive. Remove any toys, pet bowls, or outdoor furniture from areas we’ll be treating, or we can work around them if moving items is difficult. Make sure we have access to all areas of your property, including gates to fenced yards. If you have specific areas of concern where you’ve found ticks, mark them or let us know during the inspection. Don’t apply any other pest control products for at least a week before treatment, as this can interfere with our products’ effectiveness.
Yes, but you’ll be checking much less frequently and finding far fewer ticks. Professional treatment dramatically reduces tick populations on your property, but ticks can still hitchhike in on clothing from other locations or migrate from untreated neighboring properties. The difference is that your yard becomes a safe base where tick encounters are rare rather than constant. Most customers go from daily tick removal to occasional finds, usually after visiting wooded areas or other untreated locations. We recommend continuing basic precautions like wearing long pants in heavily wooded areas, but you’ll have much more confidence in your own outdoor spaces.
