Introduction to Mosquito & Tick Control in New Jersey

New Jersey’s humid summers, wooded landscapes, and frequent rainfall make our state one of the most active mosquito and tick regions in the Northeast. These pests thrive in backyards, parks, shaded areas, and even small patches of standing water — posing real risks to families and pets.

That’s where Bite Back Tick & Mosquito Control steps in. As a family-owned, mom-operated NJ business, we protect homes across Central and North Jersey using safe, all-natural essential-oil treatments that are kid-safe, pet-safe, pollinator-friendly, and highly effective.

Whether you live in Monmouth, Middlesex, Somerset, Mercer, Hunterdon, or beyond, this guide will help you choose the best protection plan for your property.

Simple truth: The best results come from combining smart yard habits with consistent, edge-focused protection — because ticks and mosquitoes don’t hang out in the middle of your lawn.

Key Factors That Influence Your Mosquito & Tick Control Plan

Every NJ property is different. These factors determine how often and how aggressively you should treat:

  • Weather Patterns: Warm winters and early springs mean pests activate sooner.
  • Infestation Levels: Heavy mosquito or tick pressure needs more frequent visits early on.
  • Life Cycles: Timing treatments with breeding cycles ensures the strongest results.
  • Rainfall & Humidity: Frequent NJ storms create mosquito breeding zones.
  • Quality of Application: Thorough, professional treatments last far longer.
  • Landscaping: Dense shrubs, tall grass, shaded areas, and wood lines harbor pests.
  • Wildlife Traffic: Deer, squirrels, rabbits, and pets bring ticks into yards daily.
  • Standing Water: Clogged gutters, pots, toys, and puddles are mosquito hotspots.

How Often Should You Apply Treatments?

In most New Jersey climates, treatments should run from early spring through late fall, typically every 2–4 weeks. Adjust timing based on risk:

  • Low-Risk Properties: Open lawns, little standing water → every 4–6 weeks.
  • High-Risk Yards: Wooded areas or heavy rain → every 2–3 weeks.
  • Bite Back Advantage: Our essential-oil formulas are designed for consistent protection on family properties with shade, landscaping, and active edges.
Pro tip: When rain and humidity spike, mosquitoes can ramp up fast. A steady schedule helps prevent the “it was fine… and then it wasn’t” summer blow-up.

Choosing the Best Plan for Your Property

We offer protection options tailored to every NJ home:

Basic Seasonal Plan

Great for standard yards that want reliable, consistent protection through the main season.

Premium Protection Plan

Ideal for wooded borders, heavy shade, or higher tick pressure — with extra attention to edge zones.

Add-Ons (When Needed)

For specific hot spots and challenging properties: wooded edges, water-prone areas, and problem zones.

Property-Based Targeting

No cookie-cutter loop — we prioritize the parts of your yard where ticks and mosquitoes actually are.

Every plan uses 100% natural, EPA 25(b) minimum-risk exempt ingredients — built around essential oils and a family-first approach.


Smart DIY Tips to Boost Your Protection

These simple habits help professional treatments work even better:

Drain standing water weekly

Flowerpots, toys, tarps, gutters, and low spots can become mosquito nurseries fast.

Trim tick habitat

Mow grass and cut back dense shrubs — especially along fence lines and shaded edges.

Do quick tick checks

After outdoor time, check ankles, behind knees, waistbands, and scalp.

Keep the “edge zone” clean

Leaf litter and brush along borders are tick magnets — clear them early and often.
