Reclaim Your Outdoor Space

You shouldn’t have to check your kids for ticks every time they come inside from playing. You shouldn’t have to worry about Lyme disease when you’re trying to enjoy a backyard barbecue.

When tick control is done right, you get your yard back. Your children can play on the grass without you constantly scanning for those tiny threats. Your dog can run around without picking up hitchhikers in the tall grass along your fence line.

The difference isn’t just fewer ticks—it’s peace of mind. It’s actually using that outdoor space you work so hard to maintain. It’s not having to choose between keeping your family safe and letting them enjoy being outside.

Runnemede Tick Control Experts

We Know New Jersey Ticks

We at 86 Pest and Wildlife Removal have been protecting Runnemede families from tick-borne diseases for years. We understand how deer ticks and dog ticks behave in our area, where they hide, and when they’re most active.

New Jersey has one of the highest Lyme disease rates in the country, and Camden County sees its share of cases every year. We’ve built our tick control methods around the specific challenges homeowners face here—from the wooded areas that back up to residential properties to the humid conditions that ticks love.

You’re not just getting a pest control company. You’re getting local expertise that understands exactly what you’re dealing with.

Our Tick Control Process

Thorough Treatment, Real Results

First, we inspect your property to identify tick harborage areas—places like leaf litter along your fence line, overgrown areas near your deck, and the transition zones between your lawn and any wooded areas. Most homeowners miss these critical spots.

Next, we apply professional-grade treatments to these high-risk areas using targeted application methods. We’re not just spraying your entire yard randomly. We’re treating the specific locations where ticks actually live and wait for hosts.

The treatment creates a barrier that kills existing ticks and prevents new ones from establishing in your yard. You’ll see results within days, and the protection lasts through the peak tick season with proper follow-up treatments as needed.

What You Get With Our Service

Your tick control service includes a comprehensive property assessment to identify all potential tick habitats on your property. We treat harborage areas with EPA-approved products that are effective against both deer ticks and dog ticks common in the Runnemede area.

We focus on the areas that matter most—the edges of your lawn where it meets gardens or wooded areas, around outdoor furniture and play equipment, and along walkways where your family spends time. These are the zones where tick encounters actually happen.

You’ll receive specific recommendations for maintaining a tick-resistant yard between treatments, including simple landscaping adjustments that make your property less attractive to ticks long-term. We explain everything we’re doing and why, so you understand how to keep your family protected.

How quickly does professional tick control start working in my yard?

You’ll typically see a significant reduction in tick activity within 24-48 hours after treatment. The products we use are designed to kill ticks on contact and continue working for weeks afterward. However, complete control takes about a week as ticks in all life stages are eliminated from treated areas. The key difference between professional treatment and DIY methods is that we’re targeting the specific areas where ticks actually live and reproduce, not just spraying randomly across your entire property.
Yes, when applied by trained professionals using proper techniques and EPA-approved products. We use targeted application methods that focus on tick harborage areas rather than broad-spectrum spraying of areas where your family spends time. After treatment, we recommend keeping children and pets off treated areas until they’re dry, which typically takes 2-4 hours depending on weather conditions. Once dry, the treated areas are safe for normal family activities while remaining lethal to ticks.
Most Runnemede properties need treatments every 6-8 weeks during peak tick season, which runs from May through September in New Jersey. However, the frequency depends on several factors including your property’s proximity to wooded areas, the severity of the initial infestation, and weather conditions. Properties that back up to wooded areas or have heavy deer traffic may need more frequent treatments. We’ll assess your specific situation and recommend a treatment schedule that provides consistent protection without over-treating your property.
We concentrate on tick harborage areas where these pests actually live and wait for hosts. This includes the edges where your lawn meets gardens, wooded areas, or tall grass, areas around outdoor furniture and play equipment, leaf litter along fence lines, and shaded spots under decks or around sheds. Most homeowners focus on open lawn areas, but ticks rarely venture into direct sunlight. By targeting their actual hiding spots, we achieve much better control with less product than blanket treatments.
Professional tick control dramatically reduces tick populations on your property, but we can’t guarantee you’ll never see another tick. Ticks can travel on wildlife, pets, or even people from untreated areas. However, proper treatment eliminates established tick populations in your yard and creates barriers that kill ticks before they can establish new colonies. Most of our customers see 90%+ reduction in tick encounters after treatment. We stand behind our work and will return to retreat areas if you’re experiencing ongoing tick problems in treated zones.
While professional tick control requires a higher upfront investment than store-bought sprays, it’s typically more cost-effective long-term because it actually works. Most homeowners spend $100-200 per season on ineffective DIY products before calling professionals. Our treatments target the right areas with the right products, eliminating the trial-and-error approach that wastes money on repeated applications. When you factor in the time saved, better results, and reduced risk of tick-borne illness, professional treatment provides better value than constantly reapplying products that don’t address the root problem.
