Our Tick Treatment Process

Straightforward Tick Elimination

First, we inspect your property to identify tick hotspots. These are typically areas with tall grass, leaf litter, wooded edges, and anywhere your pets spend time. We’re looking for the specific conditions that support tick populations on your land.

Next, we apply targeted treatments to these high-risk areas. Our approach focuses on the places ticks actually live and breed, not just random spraying. We use professional-grade products that eliminate existing ticks and prevent new infestations.

Finally, we provide you with a clear timeline for results and recommendations for maintaining a tick-free property. Most customers see significant reduction in tick activity within 24-48 hours, with full effectiveness reached within one week.

Complete Yard Tick Control

What's Included in Treatment

Your tick control service covers all the areas where ticks typically establish themselves on residential properties. We treat lawn edges, garden borders, areas around decks and patios, pet run areas, and transition zones between your lawn and any wooded or natural areas.

We also address the specific challenges that Stratford properties face. Many homes here back up to wooded areas or have mature landscaping that creates ideal tick habitat. We know how to treat these areas effectively without damaging your plants or creating safety concerns for your family.

Each treatment includes a follow-up plan. Tick control isn’t a one-and-done service. We provide guidance on timing for additional treatments and help you understand what to watch for as seasons change.

How quickly does tick control treatment work?

Most tick activity stops within 24-48 hours of treatment. You’ll notice fewer ticks immediately, but full effectiveness develops over the first week as the treatment reaches ticks in all life stages. The products we use are designed to eliminate both adult ticks and prevent larvae from developing, so you get both immediate relief and longer-term protection. Weather conditions can affect timing slightly, but you should see clear results within a few days of service.
Yes, when applied correctly by professionals. We use EPA-approved products that are specifically designed for residential use around families and pets. The key is proper application and timing. We’ll let you know exactly when it’s safe for kids and pets to return to treated areas, typically within a few hours once the product has dried. Our team follows all safety protocols to ensure effective tick control without creating health risks for your family.
Most Stratford properties benefit from treatments every 6-8 weeks during tick season, which runs from April through October in New Jersey. However, the frequency depends on your specific situation. Properties that back up to wooded areas or have heavy deer traffic may need more frequent treatment. Properties with minimal tick habitat might need less. We’ll assess your property and recommend a schedule that makes sense for your tick pressure and budget.
We focus on the areas where ticks actually live and travel, which is more effective than blanket treatment of your entire property. This typically includes the perimeter of your lawn, areas around decks and patios, garden edges, pet areas, and transition zones between maintained lawn and natural areas. Ticks don’t typically establish populations in the middle of sunny, well-maintained lawns, so treating those areas isn’t necessary and wastes product and money.
Our professional tick control is designed to target ticks specifically while minimizing impact on beneficial insects. We avoid treating flowering plants when possible and time applications to reduce exposure to bees and other pollinators. The products we use break down relatively quickly in the environment and don’t persist in ways that harm beneficial insects long-term. We can also work with you to protect specific areas like pollinator gardens or beehives if you have particular concerns about beneficial insects on your property.
Preparation is minimal but important for best results. Mow your lawn within a day or two before treatment so we can reach areas where ticks hide. Remove any toys, pet bowls, or outdoor furniture from areas that will be treated. Make sure we have access to all areas around your property perimeter and any problem spots you’ve identified. We’ll handle the rest, including providing you with specific instructions about when it’s safe for family and pets to return to treated areas.
