Plant-Based EPA 25(b) Exempt Kid & Pet Safe (Once Dry) Pollinator-Conscious NJ Family-Owned

Safety, Ingredients & What We Use

+Is Bite Back safe for kids and babies?

Yes. We use plant-based, EPA Section 25(b) minimum-risk exempt products and apply them according to label directions. Once dry, your family can get back to normal backyard life.

+Is Bite Back safe for dogs and cats?

Yes. After the application dries, it’s safe for pets to be back outside. Many NJ families choose us specifically to reduce repeated exposure to harsh chemical residues.

+Do you use bifenthrin, permethrin, or synthetic pyrethroids?

No. We do not use synthetic pyrethroids or broad-spectrum “neurotoxin-style” barrier sprays. Bite Back was built as a natural alternative for families who want strong protection without harsh chemicals.

+Will your treatment harm my garden, plants, or lawn?

When used as directed, our products are designed for residential landscaping. If you have a vegetable garden, herb beds, koi pond, or sensitive areas, tell us — we’ll note it during inspection and treat thoughtfully.

+Will you spray near my pond or water feature?

Yes, with care. If you have koi, frogs, fountains, or a pond edge, we document it and treat appropriately according to label directions.

+Will this harm bees or butterflies?

We’re pollinator-conscious and avoid broad-spectrum chemical insecticides. We also focus on targeted resting zones rather than “blanketing” your entire yard.

Results, Timing & Expectations

+How quickly will mosquitoes go down?

Many customers notice improvement the same day. Properties with heavy shade, wetlands, woods, or nearby standing water improve best with consistency on the 21-day schedule.

+How long does a treatment last?

Our standard program is every 21 days to keep protection consistent through NJ’s peak season. That schedule is what delivers the best season-long results.

+Does rain affect the treatment?

We schedule smartly. After the application dries, typical rain is usually not an issue. If extreme weather impacts performance, we’ll help adjust and keep your protection on track.

+Do all-natural treatments work for ticks in NJ?

Yes — especially with targeted edge work and habitat guidance. Tick reduction improves as we reduce pressure in hot zones and along pathways. For heavy tick properties, we may recommend adding all-natural granular.

+What if I’m still seeing mosquitoes or ticks between visits?

We don’t disappear after the first spray. If activity persists, we re-check your property and identify what’s driving it (shade, moisture, standing water, leaf litter, neighbors’ breeding sources) and recommend next steps.

Our Process & What’s Included

+What do you treat during a service visit?

We focus where pests actually live and rest:

  • Shaded mosquito resting areas (under decks, dense shrubs, cool damp zones)
  • Foundation lines and perimeter transitions
  • Woodlines, trails, property edges, and tick pathways
  • Problem “hot spots” identified during inspection
+Do you treat standing water?

Yes. We identify breeding sources and treat where appropriate. We also provide a simple “fix list” so you’re not fighting a losing battle between visits.

+Do I need to be home?

No. As long as we have access, we can treat. You’ll receive a service summary afterward.

+Do you treat fenced yards or properties without fences?

Yes. For yards without fences or with high wildlife traffic, we focus on edge zones and transitions and may recommend all-natural granular to reinforce tick pathways.

+Do you offer one-time treatments for parties or weddings?

Yes. One-time treatments are popular for BBQs, graduations, backyard weddings, and events. For the best experience, schedule 24–48 hours before your event.
