Why Tick Control Is Important in New Jersey
New Jersey is one of the most tick-active states in the country. Ticks can carry dangerous illnesses such as Lyme disease, Babesiosis, and Ehrlichiosis. According to the CDC, ticks can transmit these diseases in as little as 24 hours after attachment. Professional tick control helps reduce your exposure and keeps your yard safer for your loved ones.

Our Tick Control Service Process
At Knockout Mosquito & Tick Control, we take a targeted, thorough approach to tick control so your yard stays safer all season long. Our process is designed to treat the areas where ticks live, reduce active populations, and help create long-lasting protection around your property.
1. Property Evaluation
We inspect your property to identify tick-heavy zones where activity is most likely. These areas often include shaded spots, wood lines, tall grass, mulch beds, and moist leaf litter.
2. Granular Tick Treatment
We apply a granular tick treatment to high-risk areas throughout your yard. This helps target ticks where they nest and breed, allowing us to treat the problem closer to the source.
3. Perimeter Tick Barrier Spray
We apply a protective tick barrier around your yard to reduce active ticks and help create an ongoing line of defense around the spaces your family uses most.
4. Reapplication for Full-Season Protection
Ticks stay active from early spring through late fall, which is why seasonal tick control is the best way to maintain consistent protection. Most homeowners see the strongest results with regularly scheduled treatments throughout the season.
How You Can Help Reduce Tick Activity
While we handle the professional side, you can also reduce tick activity by:
Keeping grass cut short
Removing leaf piles
Mulch or stone barrier between yard and woods
Keeping firewood stacked neatly
Checking pets after outdoor activity
These simple steps work together with our tick control treatments to help protect your yard.

How Ticks Spread Disease
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (NCEZID), Division of Vector-Borne - Oct 21
Most ticks go through four life stages: egg, six-legged larva, eight-legged nymph, and adult. After hatching from the eggs, ticks must eat blood at every stage to survive. Ticks that require this many hosts can take up to 3 years to complete their full life cycle, and most will die because they don’t find a host for their next feeding.
Some tick species, like the brown dog tick, prefer to feed on the same host during all life stages.
Ticks can feed on mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians. Most ticks prefer to have a different host animal at each stage of their life, as shown below:
The lifecycle of Ixodes scapularis ticks generally lasts two years. During this time, they go through four life stages: egg, larva, nymph, and adult. After the eggs hatch, the ticks must have a blood meal at every stage to survive. Blacklegged ticks can feed from mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians. The ticks need a new host at each stage of their life.
The lifecycle of Ixodes pacificus ticks generally lasts three years. During this time, they go through four life stages: egg, larva, nymph, and adult. After the eggs hatch, the ticks must have a blood meal at every stage to survive. Blacklegged ticks can feed from mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians. The ticks need a new host at each stage of their life.
How Do Ticks Find Their Hosts?
Ticks find their hosts by detecting animals´ breath and body odors, or by sensing body heat, moisture, and vibrations. Some species can even recognize a shadow. In addition, ticks pick a place to wait by identifying well-used paths. Then they wait for a host, resting on the tips of grasses and shrubs. Ticks can’t fly or jump, but many tick species wait in a position known as "questing".
While questing, ticks hold onto leaves and grass by their third and fourth pair of legs. They hold the first pair of legs outstretched, waiting to climb on to the host. When a host brushes the spot where a tick is waiting, it quickly climbs aboard. Some ticks will attach quickly and others will wander, looking for places like the ear, or other areas where the skin is thinner.
How Do Ticks Transmit Pathogens?
Depending on the tick species and its stage of life, preparing to feed can take from 10 minutes to 2 hours. When the tick finds a feeding spot, it grasps the skin and cuts into the surface. The tick then inserts its feeding tube. Many species also secrete a cement-like substance that keeps them firmly attached during the meal. The feeding tube can have barbs which help keep the tick in place. Ticks also can secrete small amounts of saliva with anesthetic properties so that the animal or person can’t feel that the tick has attached itself.
If the tick is in a sheltered spot, it can go unnoticed. A tick will suck the blood slowly for several days. If the host animal has a bloodborne infection, the tick will ingest the pathogens with the blood. Small amounts of saliva from the tick may also enter the skin of the host animal during the feeding process. If the tick contains a pathogen, the organism may be transmitted to the host animal in this way. After feeding, most ticks will drop off and prepare for the next life stage. At its next feeding, it can then transmit an acquired disease to the new host.
