Your outdoor spaces become usable again. Barbecues, gardening, evening walks around your property – all without that constant worry about what’s crawling up your legs. You get your peace of mind back, and your family gets their yard back.

Tavistock Tick Control Experts

We Know New Jersey Ticks

We’ve been handling tick problems in Tavistock and throughout New Jersey for years. We understand the local tick species, their breeding cycles, and exactly where they hide on your property.

New Jersey has some of the highest Lyme disease rates in the country. We take that seriously. Our technicians know which areas of your yard need the most attention and when treatments will be most effective.

We’re not the company that shows up, sprays everything, and hopes for the best. We target the problem areas where ticks actually live and breed.

Our Tick Control Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we inspect your property to identify tick hotspots. Ticks don’t live everywhere – they prefer specific areas like tall grass, leaf litter, and the edges where your lawn meets wooded areas. We find these problem zones.

Next, we apply targeted treatments to these high-risk areas. We’re not spraying your entire yard unnecessarily. We focus on where ticks actually live, breed, and wait for hosts. This approach is more effective and uses less product.

Finally, we set up a treatment schedule that matches tick activity in New Jersey. Peak season runs April through October, but different species are active at different times. We time treatments when they’ll have maximum impact on tick populations.

Complete Yard Tick Treatment

What's Included in Your Service

Your tick control service covers all the areas where ticks typically establish populations on residential properties. We treat the transition zones between your lawn and any wooded areas, tall grass sections, and areas with heavy leaf litter or ground cover.

We use professional-grade treatments that aren’t available to homeowners. These products are more effective than anything you can buy at the store and are applied by technicians who understand tick behavior and biology.

Each treatment includes a property assessment to identify new problem areas and adjust our approach as needed. Tick populations shift based on weather, wildlife activity, and seasonal changes. We adapt our strategy accordingly to maintain effective control throughout the season.

How often do I need tick control treatments for my yard?

Most properties need treatments every 4-6 weeks during tick season, which runs from April through October in New Jersey. However, the exact frequency depends on your property’s specific conditions. Heavily wooded lots or areas with high deer traffic may need more frequent treatments. Properties with mostly open lawn and minimal wildlife activity might need fewer applications. We assess your property during the initial visit and recommend a schedule that matches your tick pressure. The goal is consistent control without over-treating areas that don’t need it.

Is tick control safe for my children and pets?

Yes, when applied correctly by trained professionals. We use products that are specifically designed for residential use around families and pets. The key is proper application – knowing where to apply treatments, how much to use, and when it’s safe to resume normal yard activities. Most treatments require staying off treated areas for a few hours while they dry, then normal use can resume. We provide specific instructions after each treatment about any temporary restrictions. Professional application is much safer than homeowners attempting to handle tick control themselves with store-bought products.

Will tick control eliminate all ticks from my property?

Tick control significantly reduces tick populations, but complete elimination isn’t realistic for most properties. Ticks can travel on wildlife, and new ones can move in from neighboring properties. However, effective tick control reduces populations by 85-95%, which dramatically lowers your risk of tick encounters. The goal is making your yard safe and usable, not achieving zero ticks forever. Regular treatments maintain low tick numbers throughout the season. You’ll notice far fewer ticks on yourself, your family, and your pets after treatments begin working.

When is the best time to start tick control treatments?

Early spring, typically March or April, is ideal for starting tick control in New Jersey. This timing targets ticks before they become fully active and before peak breeding season begins. Starting early helps prevent population buildups rather than trying to control established populations later. However, tick control can be effective when started at any point during the season. If you’re finding ticks now, don’t wait until next spring – current treatments will provide immediate relief and prevent populations from growing larger. Fall treatments can also help reduce overwintering tick populations.

Do I still need to check for ticks after treatment?

Yes, you should still do basic tick checks, especially after spending time in areas beyond your treated property. Tick control greatly reduces the likelihood of picking up ticks in your own yard, but it doesn’t protect you when hiking, visiting other properties, or in areas we haven’t treated. However, you’ll find far fewer ticks on yourself and your family after effective yard treatment. Many customers tell us they go from finding multiple ticks weekly to rarely finding any. The daily anxiety about tick encounters in your own yard should decrease significantly.

What's the difference between professional and DIY tick control?

Professional tick control uses commercial-grade products that aren’t available to consumers and applies them with equipment designed for proper coverage and penetration. Store-bought sprays often provide only surface treatment and temporary results. We also understand tick biology and behavior – where they live, when they’re most active, and how to target treatments for maximum effectiveness. DIY approaches typically involve spraying entire yards, while our professional treatment focuses on specific areas where ticks actually establish populations. The result is better control with more targeted product use.
