All-Natural Tick & Mosquito Control in Princeton, NJ
Princeton is beautiful — tree-lined streets, trails, and backyards that feel like little pockets of nature.
But that same shade and landscaping can quietly become a perfect home for ticks and mosquitoes.
Bite Back provides an essential-oil blend program with hot-zone targeting.
We focus where bites start — shaded landscaping, wooded borders, under-deck areas,
and leaf-litter edges — so you can enjoy your yard again with less stress.
What makes Princeton different?
Mature shade + dense landscaping + wooded/greenbelt edges can increase pressure. That’s why we don’t just “spray the lawn.” We treat the border zones and shaded pockets that drive the problem.

Request Service Information
The most helpful detail is your “hot spot” — porch, patio, playset, dog run, or wooded border. That lets us match your property to the right plan and coverage focus.
- Combined tick + mosquito program
- Hot-zone targeting (shade + edges + perimeter)
- Consistent seasonal service for reliable results
Princeton homeowners often tell me the same thing: “We just want to enjoy the yard again without worrying.” Share your #1 priority area and we’ll tailor our hot-zone focus to your yard.
Why Princeton Homeowners Switch to Bite Back
We hear the same three reasons again and again — and they’re all about getting your home back to normal.
1) “We don’t want harsh synthetic pesticides.”
Princeton families are thoughtful about what goes into their home environment. Bite Back uses an essential-oil blend approach built for families who want a safer direction.
2) “The yard is still stressful near the porch/patio.”
The “bite zone” is often shade + landscaping edges — not open lawn. We treat the places mosquitoes rest and where ticks enter.
3) “We just want a company that’s responsive.”
Clear scheduling. Clear expectations. And if something’s off, we want to know — so we can review the hot zones and do our best to correct the issue.
Tap a Hot Zone (Where the Problem Usually Lives)
Princeton properties often have heavy shade, mature landscaping, and wooded borders. Tap a hot zone to see why it matters — and how we treat it.

The fastest plan matching happens when we know your “problem area.” If you share your hot zone in the form, we can recommend the best plan and focus immediately.
Targeted Coverage for Princeton’s Shade + Borders
The biggest improvement comes from treating the places mosquitoes rest and ticks wait — especially along wooded transitions and shaded plantings.
- Walk-through inspection each visit (shade, edges, moisture, activity)
- Hot-zone targeting around shrubs, beds, stone edges, and fences
- Perimeter emphasis to reduce tick re-entry from wooded borders
- Standing water awareness if present on-site (we’ll point it out)
Shield vs Shield Plus (Princeton)
Both plans are built around combined tick + mosquito protection and targeted hot-zone coverage. We recommend based on yard pressure.
Shield
- Core seasonal protection
- Targeted essential-oil blend applications
- Focused on shade + edges + perimeter
Shield Plus
- Best for higher-pressure yards (wooded borders / heavier tick activity)
- Includes added all-natural granular tick support for stronger edge defense
- Ideal for dense shade, wildlife pathways, and leaf-litter borders
