What Life Looks Like Tick-Free

You’ll walk across your lawn without checking every step. Your kids will play outside without you scanning their clothes afterward. Your dog will run through the yard without bringing unwanted passengers inside.

That’s what effective tick control for your yard actually delivers. Not just fewer ticks – complete peace of mind when you step outside your door.

New Jersey leads the country in Lyme disease cases, and Northwood’s wooded neighborhoods create perfect tick habitats. But you don’t have to live with that reality. Professional pest control for ticks eliminates the populations before they can establish themselves, giving you back the outdoor space you’re paying for.

Our Tick Control Process

How We Eliminate Your Tick Problem

First, we inspect your property to identify tick hotspots – areas where they breed, feed, and wait for hosts. These are usually along property edges, in tall grass, around stone walls, and under decks.

Next, we apply targeted treatments to these high-risk zones using EPA-approved products that eliminate ticks at every life stage. We focus on the areas where ticks actually live, not just spray randomly across your entire yard.

Finally, we create a barrier treatment around your property perimeter to prevent new ticks from migrating in from neighboring areas. Most customers see immediate results, with full effectiveness within 24-48 hours of treatment.

Best Tick Control Treatment Options

What's Included in Tick Control

Our tick control approach includes comprehensive property assessment, targeted habitat treatment, and perimeter barrier protection. We treat the areas where ticks actually live – not just spray your entire lawn.

You’ll get specific recommendations for reducing tick-friendly conditions on your property, like managing brush piles and tall grass areas. We also provide guidance on landscaping choices that naturally discourage tick populations.

Each treatment comes with follow-up monitoring to ensure effectiveness. During peak tick season, we’ll check back to make sure your property stays protected as new ticks try to move in from surrounding areas.

How quickly does professional tick control work on my property?

Most homeowners notice fewer ticks within 24-48 hours of treatment. The products we use are designed to eliminate ticks on contact and provide residual protection for several weeks. However, complete control depends on the size of the existing population and environmental factors like recent rain or neighboring untreated properties. We typically recommend checking the effectiveness after one week, and most customers report feeling comfortable letting their family use the yard again within a few days of service.
Yes, we use EPA-approved products that are specifically designed for residential properties with families and pets. The treatments we apply target ticks while having minimal impact on beneficial insects like bees and butterflies. We recommend keeping children and pets inside during application and for about 2-4 hours afterward while the product dries. Once dry, the treated areas are safe for normal family activities. We always provide specific safety instructions based on the products used and your property’s unique situation.
Most Northwood properties need tick control treatments every 6-8 weeks during active tick season, which runs from April through October in New Jersey. Properties backing up to wooded areas or with heavy brush may need more frequent service, while open lawn areas typically need less. We base the schedule on your property’s specific risk factors and the level of tick pressure in your neighborhood. Many customers start with monthly treatments in spring and early summer, then extend to every 8 weeks as the season progresses.
Professional tick control targets the specific areas where ticks actually live and breed, rather than just spraying randomly. We have access to commercial-grade products that last longer and work more effectively than retail options. More importantly, we know how to identify tick habitats that most homeowners miss – like the transition zones between your lawn and wooded areas, or spots under decks where ticks wait for hosts. DIY treatments often miss these critical areas, which is why homeowners still find ticks after treating their property themselves.
We can dramatically reduce tick populations and provide significant protection, but complete elimination isn’t realistic for most properties, especially those near wooded areas. Ticks are constantly migrating from neighboring properties, and new ones can be brought in by deer, birds, and other wildlife. What we can guarantee is a substantial reduction in tick activity and ongoing protection through regular treatments. Most customers report feeling comfortable using their outdoor spaces again and rarely finding ticks on family members or pets after starting regular service.
Yes, our treatments are effective against all common tick species in New Jersey, including blacklegged ticks (deer ticks), American dog ticks, and lone star ticks. Each species has slightly different habitat preferences and seasonal patterns, which is why we customize our approach based on what we find during the property inspection. Deer ticks are the primary concern for Lyme disease transmission, but we treat for all species since they often share the same areas. The products we use are broad-spectrum and designed to control multiple tick species with a single application.
