Our Tick Control Process

Simple Steps, Serious Results

First, we inspect your entire property to identify tick hotspots and breeding areas. This isn’t a quick walk-around. We check wooded edges, tall grass areas, leaf litter, and anywhere ticks typically establish themselves.

Next, we apply professional-grade treatments that eliminate existing ticks and create protective barriers. We target the areas where ticks actually live and breed, not just spray randomly around your yard. The products we use are EPA-approved and safe for your family and pets when applied correctly.

Finally, we set up ongoing monitoring and prevention. Tick control isn’t a one-and-done service. We establish treatment schedules that keep your property protected throughout tick season, typically May through September in New Jersey. You get follow-up visits and adjustments based on what we find during each inspection.

What You Actually Get

Your tick control service includes a thorough property assessment, targeted treatment of all tick habitats, and ongoing prevention programs. We don’t just spray and leave. We identify why ticks are choosing your property and address those root causes.

Many Oaklyn properties back up to wooded areas or have mature landscaping that creates ideal tick environments. We work with these natural features instead of against them. You keep your beautiful yard while eliminating the health risks that come with it.

Our treatments focus on the areas where ticks actually spend their time – not just the obvious spots. We handle the transition zones between lawn and woods, treat around decks and patios where families gather, and create protective barriers around play areas. You get comprehensive coverage that actually makes a difference.

How quickly can you eliminate ticks from my Oaklyn property?

Most properties see significant tick reduction within 24-48 hours of treatment, with maximum effectiveness reached in about a week. However, complete tick control is an ongoing process, not a single event. We typically recommend initial treatment followed by monthly applications during peak season (May through September) to maintain protection. The timeline also depends on your property’s specific conditions – heavily wooded lots or areas with dense vegetation may require additional treatments to achieve full control.

Are your tick control treatments safe for children and pets?

Yes, we use EPA-approved products that are safe for families and pets when applied by trained professionals. We typically recommend keeping children and pets inside during application and until the treatment has dried, usually 2-4 hours. After that, your yard is safe for normal use. We avoid broad-spectrum treatments that harm beneficial insects unnecessarily, instead targeting our applications to areas where ticks actually live and breed. All our technicians are licensed and trained in proper application techniques that maximize effectiveness while minimizing any risk to your family.

What makes professional tick control better than store-bought sprays?

Professional treatments use commercial-grade products that aren’t available to consumers, and more importantly, we know exactly where and how to apply them. Most homeowners spray randomly around their yard, missing the specific areas where ticks actually live – like leaf litter, woodland edges, and transition zones between different vegetation types. We also have access to longer-lasting formulations and can create integrated treatment plans that address tick breeding cycles. Store-bought products often provide temporary knockdown but don’t prevent reinfestation, which is why many homeowners find themselves retreating the same areas repeatedly without lasting results.

How often do I need tick control treatments in New Jersey?

In New Jersey, we recommend monthly treatments from May through September during peak tick season. This schedule aligns with tick breeding cycles and provides continuous protection when ticks are most active. Some properties may need additional treatments in early spring or late fall depending on weather conditions and tick pressure in your specific area. Properties with heavy woodland borders or those that have had severe infestations may benefit from more frequent initial treatments. We adjust the schedule based on what we find during our regular monitoring visits and seasonal tick activity levels.

Will tick control treatments harm other insects in my yard?

Our targeted application methods minimize impact on beneficial insects like bees, butterflies, and natural predators. We focus treatments on areas where ticks actually live – typically shaded, moist areas with organic debris – rather than applying blanket treatments across your entire property. We avoid treating flowering plants during peak pollinator activity and use products that break down quickly in sunlight, reducing exposure to non-target insects. This approach effectively controls ticks while preserving the beneficial insects that help maintain a healthy yard ecosystem.

What should I do if I find ticks after treatment?

Finding an occasional tick after treatment is normal, especially in the first few days as the treatment takes full effect. However, if you’re seeing multiple ticks or finding them regularly after the first week, contact us immediately. This could indicate missed treatment areas, reinfestation from neighboring properties, or the need for additional applications. We provide follow-up service calls at no extra charge if tick activity doesn’t decrease as expected. We also recommend continuing to check yourself and pets after spending time outdoors, as ticks can be carried in from untreated areas beyond your property boundaries.
