Locally Owned. Built for Yards Like Yours.
Laurie founded Bite Back in Manalapan for a simple reason: she is a mom, and she wanted her kids and dogs to play in the yard without getting bitten, with treatments she felt good about. That is why every visit uses all-natural essential oils, applied where ticks and mosquitoes actually live.
From Manalapan we now serve families across New Jersey, including right here in Sussex Borough, all season long.
More than 2,000 New Jersey families use our service today.
Shield or Shield Plus: Which Fits Your Sussex Property?
Shield and Shield Plus use the same all-natural essential-oil treatment. The difference is how much tick support your property gets.
Shield
A strong fit for many suburban New Jersey properties that want steady mosquito and tick protection without synthetic pesticides.
- Recurring April–October mosquito and tick control
- Approximately 21-day seasonal visits
- Targets shaded edges, resting zones, foundation beds, fence lines and family-use areas
- Pay-as-you-go or eligible seasonal prepay options
Shield Plus
A stronger fit for wooded, shaded, pet-heavy or higher-tick-pressure yards that need more ground-level perimeter support.
- Everything included in Shield
- Added all-natural granular tick support about every 6 weeks
- Best for woods, brush lines, 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’ll help you choose based on the property instead of pushing a one-size-fits-all plan.
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 Sussex Borough Home
We do not treat every Sussex Borough yard the same way. Your technician works with what is actually in yours.
Decks & Steps
It stays cool and dark under a deck. Mosquitoes rest there during the day, so we treat under decks and around steps.
Dense Groundcover
Ivy and pachysandra stay shady and damp all day. Ticks love it. We treat groundcover right down near the soil, where ticks wait.
Pet & Play Areas
Dogs run the same path every day. Kids play where the yard meets the woods. We give those edges extra attention.
Fence Lines
Leaves pile up along fences, and deer travel along them too. We treat fence lines because ticks use them like a road.
Wooded & Brush Edges
Tall grass and thick brush hold moisture and shade. We treat those borders instead of letting them shelter ticks.
Patios & Pool Areas
We pay attention to the landscaping and shaded edges around the outdoor spaces your family actually uses, not just the center of the yard.

Questions About Mosquito & Tick Service in Sussex Borough
Does Sussex Borough's size change how Bite Back treats a yard?
Not by itself. Municipal geography provides local context, but the treatment plan is based on the individual property's shade, landscaping, borders, drainage and outdoor-use areas.
How do I get pricing for a Sussex Borough property?
Use the online quote form and enter the property address. Bite Back will confirm route availability and provide the current mosquito and tick service options.
How do I choose the best mosquito control company in Sussex Borough?
Ask what they spray, how often they come, and what happens if you are still getting bitten. Bite Back uses all-natural essential-oil treatments, we visit about every three weeks, and our guarantee process is published on this site for anyone to read.
What water sources should I check around my yard?
Look at gutters, birdbaths, toys, buckets, planters, tarps and corrugated drain extensions. Emptying or correcting those sources can make the treatment program more effective.
Can Bite Back treat my home in Sussex Borough, NJ?
Bite Back serves eligible residential properties in Sussex Borough. The quickest way to confirm service is to send us the address so we can check the current route.
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. Every yard is different.
How long does the treatment need to dry?
Follow the technician's visit instructions and allow treated areas to dry before normal use.
