Our Tick Control Process

How We Eliminate Your Tick Problem

First, we inspect your entire property to identify where ticks are actually living and breeding. Most people guess wrong about tick hotspots – we know exactly where to look.

Next, we apply targeted treatments to these problem areas using professional-grade products that actually work. We’re not spraying your entire yard randomly. We’re hitting ticks where they live, breed, and wait for their next meal.

Finally, we set up a seasonal protection plan that keeps ticks from coming back. One treatment rarely solves a tick problem permanently. Consistent, properly-timed applications throughout tick season give you the protection you’re actually paying for.

What You Get With Our Service

Complete property inspection to identify all tick habitats and entry points. Professional-grade treatments that eliminate both adult ticks and developing populations. Targeted application in wooded areas, tall grass, and other tick-friendly zones around your property.

We also address the conditions that attract ticks in the first place. This means recommendations for landscaping changes, moisture control, and other factors that make your yard less appealing to ticks long-term.

You’ll get a clear timeline for when you can expect results, what to watch for, and when follow-up treatments are needed. No guessing, no hoping it worked – just straightforward information about your tick control program.

How quickly will I see results after tick control treatment?

You’ll typically notice fewer ticks within 24-48 hours of treatment, with significant reduction in tick activity within the first week. However, complete elimination takes time because treatments target ticks at different life stages. Adult ticks die quickly, but eggs and larvae may take several weeks to be fully controlled. This is why we recommend seasonal treatment programs rather than one-time applications – consistent protection gives you the results you’re looking for throughout tick season.
Yes, when applied correctly by licensed professionals. We use EPA-approved products specifically designed for residential properties with families and pets. These treatments are applied in targeted areas where ticks actually live – not broadcast across your entire lawn. We’ll provide specific instructions about when it’s safe for kids and pets to return to treated areas, typically within a few hours of application. The products we use break down naturally and don’t leave harmful residues when applied according to manufacturer guidelines.
Professional tick control companies have access to more effective products and know exactly where to apply them. Most homeowners spray their entire yard with over-the-counter products, which wastes money and often misses the areas where ticks actually hide. We target specific microhabitats – edges of wooded areas, tall grass, leaf litter, and other spots where ticks wait for hosts. Professional treatments also address tick populations at different life stages, while most DIY approaches only kill adult ticks you can see.
Most properties need treatments every 6-8 weeks during active tick season, which runs from April through October in New Jersey. However, the exact schedule depends on your property’s specific conditions – heavily wooded lots may need more frequent treatment, while open properties with less tick habitat may need fewer applications. We’ll assess your property and recommend a schedule based on tick pressure, weather conditions, and your family’s outdoor activity level. Consistent treatment is key – gaps in coverage allow tick populations to rebuild.
Modern tick control methods are designed to minimize impact on beneficial insects like bees and butterflies. We use targeted application techniques that focus on areas where ticks live rather than broad-spectrum spraying. Many beneficial insects spend most of their time in different areas of your yard than ticks do. We can also time treatments to avoid peak pollinator activity periods and use products that break down quickly in sunlight. If you have specific concerns about beneficial insect populations, we can discuss alternative treatment approaches that provide tick control while protecting the insects you want to keep.
Keep grass mowed short and remove leaf litter from areas where your family spends time – this makes our treatments more effective and reduces tick habitat. Clear any toys, furniture, or equipment from areas that will be treated. If you have bird feeders, consider relocating them temporarily since they can attract rodents that carry ticks. We’ll handle the technical aspects of treatment, but these simple steps help maximize results. You don’t need to do extensive landscaping changes before treatment, but we may recommend some modifications after our initial inspection to reduce future tick problems.
