Locally Owned. Proud to Serve Princeton.
Laurie started Bite Back in Manalapan. She is a mom. She wanted her own kids and dogs to play outside without getting bitten, and to feel good about what was sprayed in the yard. So she built the service around all-natural essential-oil treatments, applied where ticks and mosquitoes actually live.
Princeton yards give ticks plenty of places to hide. Many homes sit near woods, wetlands or the canal floodplain — the ground our treatments are made for.
We serve families all over New Jersey from our home base in Manalapan. Princeton is a regular-route town for us, all season long.
More than 2,000 New Jersey families use Bite Back today, and 42 of them are right here in Princeton.
Choose the Right Mosquito & Tick Protection for Your Princeton Yard
Both plans use the same all-natural essential-oil treatment. The difference is how much tick protection your yard needs.
Shield
A strong fit for many Princeton properties that want steady protection from all-natural essential-oil treatments.
- Recurring April–October mosquito and tick control
- Approximately 21-day seasonal visits
- Targets shaded edges, foundation beds, fence lines and family-use areas
- Pay-as-you-go or eligible seasonal prepay options
Shield Plus
A stronger fit for yards with wooded borders, larger perimeters or deer moving through, where ticks need more coverage along the ground.
- Everything included in Shield
- Added all-natural granular tick support about every 6 weeks
- Best for wooded edges, wetland and floodplain edges, deer traffic, pets and shaded properties
- Granular component may be required for the tick guarantee on unfenced yards
That is what the quote is for. We help you choose based on your property.
Prepay saves 10% on eligible standard seasonal pricing. Local-route pricing, when available, is already discounted and cannot be combined with other offers. Final pricing depends on property size, route availability, yard conditions and selected plan.
Where We Treat Around Your Princeton Home
No two Princeton yards are the same. A home backing up to woods or wetlands differs from one on an open lot. Your technician treats what is in your yard.
Shaded Yard Edges
Ticks wait in the shade where grass meets brush and leaf litter. We treat those edges every visit.
Landscape Beds
Mosquitoes rest in cool, shaded shrubs and foundation beds. We treat inside the foliage and along the beds.
Drainage & Small Water Sources
Standing water is where mosquitoes breed. We treat damp areas and point out the sources we find.
Overgrown Borders
Overgrown borders stay damp and shady all day. We treat them every visit, so ticks have fewer places to wait.
Patios & Pool Areas
We treat the landscaping and shaded edges around the spaces your family uses most.
Wooded & Brush Edges
Tall grass and thick brush hold moisture and shade. Damp edges near wetlands and the floodplain are where ticks wait first, so we treat those borders every visit.

Questions About Mosquito & Tick Service in Princeton
What if I am still getting bitten?
Tell us. We review the problem against the timing of your visits and the conditions on your property, then decide the next steps with you. Our guarantee process is linked below, so you can read how it works first.
Can Bite Back treat my home in Princeton, NJ?
Yes, in most cases. We serve 42 homes in Princeton today and run a regular route here. Send us your address and we will confirm service for your exact property.
How quickly should I notice a difference after treatment?
Many people notice a difference within the first day or two. If mosquitoes are bad when you start, it can take two or three visits before things fully settle down.
How long does the treatment need to dry?
Follow the technician's visit instructions and allow treated areas to dry before normal use.
My yard backs up to woods or wetlands. Does that change anything?
It can. Wooded borders and wetland and floodplain edges hold the shade and moisture ticks like most, and deer move along those same edges. Yards like that often fit Shield Plus better, because the granular treatment covers more ground. We look at your property first.
How do I get pricing for a Princeton property?
Use the online quote form and enter your address. We will confirm service and give you your price and plan options.
What should I ask before I hire a mosquito and tick company?
Ask what they spray, how often they come, and what happens if you are still getting bitten. At Bite Back: all-natural essential-oil treatments, visits about every three weeks from April through October, and a published guarantee process.
