heavy wildlife traffic, open property lines, and yards without fences. Deer, raccoons, mice, squirrels,
and even neighborhood pets can carry ticks onto your lawn every single day.
At Bite Back Tick & Mosquito Control, our core program uses all-natural, essential-oil–based sprays
to control ticks and mosquitoes. But when a property experiences consistently high tick pressure
or when wildlife is constantly entering the yard, we recommend an additional layer of defense:
NaturCide Granular.
These natural tick control granules help reinforce your yard’s perimeter, protect open lawns, and deliver
deeper coverage in soil and groundcover where ticks hide. Below, we explain exactly why NaturCide Granular is
such an important tool for tick control in New Jersey.
What Is NaturCide Granular?
NaturCide Granular is an all-natural, plant-based granular product designed specifically for
tick and insect control. It uses essential-oil-based actives that:
- Help repel ticks and other pests
- Create a natural barrier at ground level
- Reduce tick activity in high-risk zones
- Support a natural, chemical-free tick management program
Unlike synthetic pesticides, NaturCide Granular is formulated without harsh chemicals, making it a strong fit
for families who want natural tick control in New Jersey without exposing kids or pets to
conventional neurotoxins.
Why NaturCide Granular Matters for Heavy Tick Pressure
New Jersey is one of the most tick-active states in the country, with problems in counties like Monmouth, Middlesex,
Ocean, Mercer, and Somerset. If your yard:
- Borders a wooded lot, field, or open space
- Does not have a fence
- Has deer or other wildlife regularly passing through
- Includes shaded, moist, or heavily landscaped areas
- Has had repeated tick activity on people or pets
…then ticks are probably being reintroduced constantly, even after you treat. Our all-natural spray works
incredibly well, but NaturCide Granular strengthens your tick barrier by working at the soil level
and along the perimeter where ticks crawl in.
Top Benefits of NaturCide Granular for Tick Control
1. Creates a Stronger Tick Barrier
Ticks do not fly — they crawl. NaturCide Granular is applied along:
- Fence lines and property edges
- Wood lines and tree lines
- Under decks, around sheds, and along foundations
- Shaded pathways and heavily landscaped areas
This creates a natural “no-cross zone” that helps reduce tick migration from neighboring woods, fields,
and open spaces.
2. Reaches Areas Sprays Can’t Fully Penetrate
Sprays are excellent for vegetation and shrubs, but they don’t always penetrate deeply into:
- Mulch beds
- Leaf litter and pine straw
- Dense groundcover and ivy
- Moist soil near shaded edges
NaturCide Granular settles into these spaces, delivering long-lasting contact and scent where ticks live,
quest, and reproduce.
3. Perfect for Unfenced Yards and Wildlife Corridors
If your property is wide open, or if there are obvious wildlife paths through your yard, ticks are riding in daily
on deer, rodents, and other animals. By applying NaturCide Granular along:
- Tree lines and wood edges
- Game trails and wildlife paths
- Back corners and open boundaries
…we create a stronger, natural barrier where these animals are most likely to introduce ticks.
4. Works Well in Shaded and Moist Problem Areas
Ticks thrive in cool, shaded, and damp environments. NaturCide Granular helps treat:
- Heavily shaded lawn edges
- Areas under decks, swingsets, and shrubs
- Moist low spots and landscape beds
Because the granules rest in the soil and ground cover, they remain effective in these tick hot spots.
5. Safe for Families, Pets & Pollinators
NaturCide Granular is plant-based and designed to be a natural alternative to synthetic pesticides.
When used as directed, it is an excellent choice for:
- Backyards with children and play equipment
- Homes with dogs and other outdoor pets
- Pollinator-friendly gardens and eco-conscious landscapes
6. Helps Disrupt the Tick Life Cycle
Tick eggs, larvae, and nymphs often hide in leaf litter and soil layers. Granular treatments help disrupt this
life cycle where it starts, supporting long-term reduction instead of just short-term knockdown.
7. Boosts the Effectiveness of Natural Spray Treatments
The best results come from a layered natural tick control program. Our essential-oil-based spray
targets vegetation and active adult ticks, while NaturCide Granular targets the soil and ground environment.
Together, they provide a more complete, all-natural tick management solution for New Jersey properties with
heavy pressure.
What New Jersey Homeowners Can Expect After NaturCide Granular
When NaturCide Granular is combined with regular Bite Back treatments, most homeowners see:
- Fewer ticks on pets after being outside
- Less tick activity around play areas and patios
- Improved results near woods, fields, and open property lines
- More consistent tick control over the course of the season
While no product can promise zero ticks, this combination is one of the strongest natural options
available for New Jersey’s toughest tick environments.
How Bite Back Applies NaturCide Granular
During your service visit, Bite Back technicians:
- Inspect the property to identify tick hot spots, wildlife paths, and shaded areas.
- Apply NaturCide Granular in targeted zones:
- Wood lines and property edges
- Mulch beds and landscaped borders
- Under decks, around sheds, and along fence lines
- Follow up with our all-natural essential-oil spray to treat shrubs, vegetation, and outdoor living areas.
This integrated approach provides multi-layered natural tick protection that is ideal for
New Jersey’s high-pressure tick areas.
Who Should Consider NaturCide Granular?
We strongly recommend adding NaturCide Granular if your New Jersey yard has:
- Frequent deer or wildlife activity
- No fence or partial fencing along the back of the property
- Heavy shade, woods, or dense landscaping
- A history of multiple tick encounters each season
- Pets that roam or spend long periods outdoors
If any of these describe your property, a granular tick treatment can make a noticeable difference.
