Tick Control

At Mosquito Joe, we’re your ultimate solution for a bite-free yard in Middlesex, Somerset, and Union County. With our professional pest control services, we tackle more than just mosquitoes. We’ve got ticks covered too!

Ticks emerge when the ground temperature exceeds 45 degrees Fahrenheit, often appearing before mosquitoes and persisting after their departure. Because of this pattern, it’s crucial to prepare for these tiny troublemakers ahead of time. Our expert tick control services in Edison-Westfield New Jersey include proactive plans that we tailor just for you.

  • Ticks might be small, but they come bearing unwelcome gifts – they can carry pathogens for up to ten human diseases. Nasty ailments like Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and Anaplasmosis owe their spread to these clingy critters. It’s a real health showdown, underlining the urgency to minimize the tick populations at your home or business in New Jersey.

    Sneaky symptoms like fever, headache, chills, and muscle aches can signal tickborne diseases. Ticks are sneaky and efficient when it comes to latching on and spreading disease. They attach firmly when they suck blood and feed slowly. Additionally, they can go unnoticed for a long time while feeding.

  • While tick concerns apply to everyone, parents and pet owners tend to be especially vigilant. Tick bites can profoundly affect both children and pets. Remarkably, five out of the ten diseases that ticks can transmit to humans are also transmissible to pets.

    This underscores the vital significance of maintaining a tick-free environment for every member of your household, regardless of whether they have fur or not. At Mosquito Joe of Edison-Westfield, we’re committed to helping you achieve precisely that.

Tick Prevention

Ticks cannot jump or fly, they can only crawl. They sit on the tips of grass and shrubs while waiting for hosts. When brushed by a moving animal or person, ticks quickly let go of the vegetation and climb onto the host.

To avoid this, use prevention methods like the ones listed above to try and keep ticks out of your yard. When you need help, the professionals at Mosquito Joe of Edison-Westfield are available and ready to help. We’re just a phone call away.

In general, adopting a proactive stance and setting up a plan before issues arise is a wise strategy. Likewise, when it comes to ticks, embracing preventive measures is key. Here are some tick prevention steps you can take:

  • Keep grass mowed and trees trimmed.

  • Move wood piles away from the home.

  • Keep pets out of thickly wooded areas where tick activity is high.

  • Move swing sets, sandboxes, and other play areas away from wooded areas.

  • Wear long sleeves and pants when walking in wooded or grassy areas to avoid tick bites.

  • Wash clothing immediately after coming inside and inspect kids and pets for ticks.

    Service: Mosquito Control

    For 8 years we have been battling the mosquito. We have stayed in many beautiful evenings because of the pests. For the first time this year, after one application by Mosquito Joe, we have enjoyed every night this summer sitting on our deck. What a great service!

    Service: Home Pest Control

    It actually works!! I was skeptical at first. The mosquitoes are so bad here, but not since we've had this service. My neighbors also signed up because they noticed that we had no mosquitoes.

    Tick FAQs

    • Just like many other aspects, the shifting climate patterns are significantly influencing the expansion of ticks’ breeding and biting periods. Shorter, milder winters and prolonged, warm springs and summers have become ideal environments for ticks to thrive. Winters are becoming milder, especially in the Northeast. That’s why Edison and Westfield have more ticks now compared to previous years.
