You step outside without that constant scanning of the ground. Your kids play in the grass without you checking their legs every five minutes. Your dog runs through the yard, and you’re not picking ticks off him later that night.

That’s what effective tick control for your yard actually delivers. Not just fewer ticks – the peace of mind that comes with knowing your property is protected from the diseases they carry.

When professional pest control for ticks is done right, you get your outdoor space back. No more avoiding certain areas of your yard. No more cutting family time short because you’re worried about tick exposure. Just normal life, where going outside doesn’t require a strategy session.

We Know New Jersey Ticks

We at 86 Pest and Wildlife Removal have been protecting South Jersey families from pest problems for years. We understand the specific tick species that thrive in our area and the unique challenges Somerdale properties face.

Our team knows where ticks hide on your property – not just the obvious spots, but the microclimates and vegetation types that create perfect tick habitat. We’ve seen what works and what doesn’t in New Jersey’s climate and terrain.

This isn’t our first tick season. We’ve helped hundreds of local families reclaim their yards from tick infestations, and we know exactly what it takes to get results that last.

Best Tick Control Process

How We Eliminate Your Tick Problem

First, we inspect your entire property to identify tick habitat and activity areas. This includes the obvious spots like tall grass and brush, but also the hidden areas most people miss – under decks, around stone walls, and transition zones between lawn and wooded areas.

Next, we apply targeted treatments to these high-risk areas using professional-grade products that actually reach where ticks live and breed. We’re not just spraying your lawn randomly – we’re treating the specific microenvironments where ticks thrive.

Finally, we set up a maintenance schedule that keeps tick populations suppressed throughout the active season. Most properties need quarterly treatments, but we adjust timing based on your specific situation and the level of tick pressure in your area.

Tick Yard Treatment Somerdale

What's Included In Your Treatment

Every tick control service includes a thorough property assessment to identify problem areas you might not even know exist. We map out tick habitat on your property and explain why certain areas attract more ticks than others.

Your treatment covers all identified tick habitat areas, not just a general lawn spray. This means targeting the leaf litter under your deck, the overgrown areas along your fence line, and the transition zones where your lawn meets wooded areas – the places where ticks actually live.

We also provide specific recommendations for reducing tick habitat on your property. Simple changes like moving firewood piles or trimming back certain vegetation can dramatically reduce tick populations between treatments. You get the professional treatment plus the knowledge to keep your property less attractive to ticks year-round.

How quickly does professional tick control work on my property?

You’ll see a significant reduction in tick activity within 24-48 hours of treatment. The products we use are designed to eliminate ticks on contact and provide residual protection for weeks afterward. However, complete control takes a full treatment cycle because ticks in different life stages respond differently to treatment. Adult ticks die quickly, but nymphs and newly hatched ticks may take longer to encounter the treated areas. Most customers notice they can use their yards normally within a few days of the initial treatment.

Is tick treatment safe for my children and pets?

Yes, when applied by trained professionals following label guidelines. We use EPA-registered products specifically designed for residential tick control. The key is proper application – we know exactly where to apply treatments for maximum effectiveness with minimal exposure risk. We typically recommend keeping children and pets inside during application and until the treatment has dried, usually 2-4 hours depending on weather conditions. Once dry, treated areas are safe for normal family activities. We can also discuss organic treatment options if you prefer, though these typically require more frequent applications.

How often do I need tick control treatments during the season?

Most Somerdale properties need treatments every 6-8 weeks during active tick season, which runs from April through October in New Jersey. However, frequency depends on several factors including your property’s tick pressure, proximity to wooded areas, and how much wildlife activity you have. Properties backing up to woods or with heavy deer traffic may need more frequent treatments. We start with a standard schedule and adjust based on how your property responds. Some customers need monthly treatments in peak season, while others do well with quarterly applications.

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

Professional tick control uses commercial-grade products with longer residual activity and better penetration into tick habitat. Store-bought sprays typically only kill ticks on contact and break down quickly in sunlight and rain. We also know exactly where to apply treatments – most homeowners spray their lawn, but ticks actually live in leaf litter, brush, and transition areas that require different treatment approaches. Our equipment allows us to reach areas like under decks and dense vegetation that are difficult to treat with consumer products. Plus, we understand tick biology and behavior, so we time treatments to target ticks when they’re most vulnerable.

Will tick treatment harm beneficial insects like bees and butterflies?

When applied correctly, tick treatments have minimal impact on beneficial insects because we target specific areas where ticks live rather than treating flowering plants where pollinators feed. We avoid spraying during peak pollinator activity times and focus treatments on leaf litter, brush, and ground-level vegetation rather than flowering plants. Many of the products we use break down quickly in sunlight, reducing long-term environmental impact. If you have specific concerns about pollinators, we can discuss targeted application strategies that focus even more narrowly on tick habitat while avoiding areas important to beneficial insects.

How do I know if my property has a serious tick problem?

The most obvious sign is finding ticks on family members or pets after spending time in your yard. But you might have a tick problem even if you haven’t found ticks on anyone yet. Look for tick habitat: areas with tall grass, brush, leaf litter, or transitions between lawn and wooded areas. Properties with deer, mice, or other wildlife typically have higher tick populations. You can do a simple tick drag test by pulling a white cloth through suspected areas – ticks will attach to the fabric. If you’re finding ticks in your house or on clothing after yard work, or if you’re avoiding certain areas of your property because of tick concerns, you likely have enough of a population to warrant professional treatment.
