South Jersey's Mosquito and Tick Season
Camden and Burlington Counties have significant mosquito and tick pressure from spring through fall. South Jersey's mix of wooded areas, suburban landscaping, and wetland edges creates ideal conditions for both species. Mosquitoes breed in any standing water — clogged gutters, birdbaths, low-lying areas after rain. Ticks concentrate in leaf litter, tall grass, and the edges between lawn and trees or brush.
Beyond being a nuisance, mosquitoes can transmit West Nile virus and Eastern Equine Encephalitis — both of which have been documented in New Jersey. Deer ticks in South Jersey carry Lyme disease, anaplasmosis, and babesiosis. Protecting your yard is about more than comfort.
How We Treat for Mosquitoes
Our mosquito treatment focuses on where mosquitoes rest and breed — not just where you see them flying. We treat:
- Undersides of leaves on shrubs and ornamental plantings
- Dense vegetation and ground cover near the house
- Shaded areas along fence lines and property edges
- Known standing water sites where breeding occurs
Treatments use EPA-registered products applied by a licensed technician. Each application provides effective knockdown of adult populations and residual protection through the product's active period.
How We Treat for Ticks
Tick treatment targets the transition zones where ticks are most active — the border between lawn and wooded or overgrown areas, leaf litter piles, and shaded ground-level vegetation. We pay particular attention to areas your children and pets spend time in.
- Lawn perimeter and wooded edges
- Leaf litter and wood pile areas
- Ornamental beds along the house foundation
- Shaded low-traffic areas where ticks wait for hosts
Seasonal Service Plans
A single treatment provides meaningful reduction, but mosquito and tick populations rebound throughout the season. Our seasonal service plans include scheduled applications from spring through fall, keeping populations consistently low on your property. Plans are available for both mosquito-only and combined mosquito and tick coverage.
We serve Voorhees Township, Cherry Hill, Haddonfield, Marlton, Moorestown, Mount Laurel, and surrounding South Jersey communities. Contact us to schedule your first treatment or discuss a seasonal plan.
Mosquito & Tick Questions
When should I start mosquito treatment in New Jersey?
Mosquito season in South Jersey typically runs from late April through October. We recommend starting in April or May before populations peak. Seasonal plans provide regular applications throughout the active season.
How do you treat for ticks in the yard?
We target tick resting areas — tall grass, leaf litter, wood piles, and the transition zones between lawn and wooded areas where ticks wait for hosts. Treatment focuses on the perimeter of your yard and shaded areas where ticks concentrate.
Is the treatment safe for my pets?
Yes. We use EPA-registered products and follow all label protocols. Pets should stay off treated areas while drying — typically 30–60 minutes. Your technician will walk you through specific precautions before treatment.
How long does each treatment last?
Most applications provide 3–4 weeks of residual protection under normal conditions. Rain and heavy dew can shorten effectiveness. Our seasonal plans are spaced to maintain consistent coverage throughout the season.
