How It All Started
When our family moved to Monmouth County with three kids and two dogs, we pictured long walks in the woods, outdoor playtime, and peaceful evenings in the yard. That dream changed quickly once we began finding ticks in places no parent ever wants to see them.
The first one looked like a tiny bead on the kitchen floor. Then we found ticks on our seven year old son. Our new home, which was supposed to feel safe, suddenly felt like a constant source of worry.
Why Harsh Chemicals Were Never an Option
With a brook near the house, young children at home, and pets that loved to explore, spraying strong chemical pesticides did not feel acceptable. My husband fought back the hard way, cutting back brush and cleaning up every corner of the yard, yet the ticks continued to show up.
The turning point came when I found a tiny deer tick nymph attached to my own toe. That bite led to antibiotics and a clear realization. We needed protection that was both effective and kind to our family and the environment, and it simply did not exist in the way we wanted.
A Safer and Effective Alternative
We spent years researching, asking questions, and testing products that claimed to be natural. That journey led us to essential oil based formulas that could reduce ticks and mosquitoes while remaining safe for children, pets, ponds, and pollinators.
From that discovery, Bite Back Tick and Mosquito Control was created, a local family run company focused on giving other New Jersey families the same peace of mind we wanted for our own yard.
