Tick & Mosquito Control Built Around a Smarter Way to Treat Your Yard

Bite Back combines all-natural essential-oil treatments with modern application science—using property conditions, pest behavior, timing, and targeted placement to treat the areas where tick and mosquito pressure actually builds. It is not just what we use. It is how we use it.

Bite Back Service In Progress In A New Jersey Backyard
Targeted treatment. Real yard conditions. Woodlines, shade, shrubs, edges, decks, and the places pressure builds.
Laurie, founder of Bite Back Tick and Mosquito Control

“We learned that effective yard protection is not only about what you spray. Where, when, and how you apply it matters just as much.”

Seasonal Service · April to October

Two Protection Levels. One Treatment System.

Both plans use the same Bite Back approach: inspect the property, identify the pressure zones, and place treatment where it can do the most useful work. Most yards do extremely well with Shield. When tick pressure is higher, Shield Plus adds a second treatment format—Nature-Cide Granular Plus at the ground and perimeter level.

Most Yards

Shield Program

The core version of our targeted tick and mosquito treatment system for steady seasonal protection.

From $89 per treatment for qualifying local-route yards
  • ✓Combined tick + mosquito treatment about every 3 weeks
  • ✓All-natural essential-oil treatment placed according to pest habitat and property conditions
  • ✓Property inspection during each visit
  • ✓Standing-water checks and treatment when applicable
  • ✓Consistent seasonal routing from April through October

Usually the right fit: typical fenced or lower-pressure New Jersey yards seeking combined seasonal protection.

Higher Tick Pressure

Shield Plus Program

Our strongest tick-focused option: everything in Shield plus Nature-Cide Granular Plus, adding a second delivery method for ground-level and perimeter habitat where liquid treatment alone can have less reach.

From $172.50 per treatment
  • ✓Everything included in Shield
  • ★Nature-Cide Granular Plus creates a second treatment layer in key ground-level and perimeter zones
  • ✓Targets the ground habitat spray does not cover as completely, including bedding areas, leaf-litter edges, wooded transitions, and perimeter zones
  • ✓Water-activated granular support stays focused where tick pressure often persists between liquid-treatment visits
  • ✓Stronger fit for pets, deer activity, shade, wildlife travel, and prior tick issues
  • ✓Required for the tick guarantee on unfenced yards

Usually the right fit: wooded, unfenced, pet-heavy, deer-active, shaded, or historically tick-heavy properties.

Two-Layer Tick Strategy

One Yard. Two Treatment Layers. Different Jobs.

Tick pressure does not live in one place, so harder properties should not be treated as though it does. Our liquid treatment targets shrubs, shaded vegetation, woodlines, fence lines, and other protected zones. Nature-Cide Granular Plus gives Shield Plus a second treatment format at soil and perimeter level—helping us address leaf litter, bedding areas, wooded transitions, and recurring pressure from surrounding habitat. It is not simply more product; it is a different way to reach a different part of the problem.

Layer 1 · Shield

Targeted Liquid Treatment

Applied to the shaded vegetation and protected zones where ticks and mosquitoes rest and travel: shrubs, fence lines, woodlines, foundation landscaping, under decks, and similar hot spots.

Layer 2 · Shield Plus

Nature-Cide Granular Plus

Adds a water-activated ground-level layer in perimeter, bedding, wooded-edge, leaf-litter, and other high-pressure zones where a liquid-only program can have less reach or where fresh tick pressure keeps entering the yard.

Reaches the Ground Layer

Granular Plus is placed where ticks often hold closest to the soil, leaf litter, mulch, bedding areas, and perimeter habitat — not only on vegetation above it.

Water-Activated Support

The granular treatment is designed to activate with moisture in the treated zones, giving us another way to support high-pressure areas between regular liquid visits.

Better for Perimeter Pressure

Wooded edges, deer routes, pet travel areas, unfenced boundaries, and dense landscaping can continually introduce new ticks. The granular layer focuses directly on those entry and holding zones.

Two Treatment Formats

Shield Plus is not “more spray.” It combines two application formats, each placed where it makes the most sense, giving higher-risk yards a more complete tick-control strategy.

Why do we recommend Granular Plus for harder tick properties?

Because the problem is often bigger than what is sitting on the leaves. Wooded, shaded, unfenced, deer-active, pet-heavy, and historically tick-heavy yards benefit from treating both the vegetation layer and the ground/perimeter layer. That is why Shield Plus is our strongest tick-focused option and why granular protection is required for our tick guarantee on unfenced properties.

Application Strategy

Where Treatment Goes Is Part of the Science

A yard is not one uniform pest habitat, so we do not treat it like one. Instead of blanket-spraying every square foot, we use pest behavior and property conditions to focus treatment on the cooler, shaded, protected areas where ticks and mosquitoes are more likely to live, rest, breed, or travel.

Woodlines & Brush Edges

Transition zones where maintained lawn meets woods, leaf litter, brush, or dense vegetation.

Fence Lines & Perimeters

Shaded travel corridors, perimeter vegetation, and areas where wildlife and pets move through the property.

Shrubs & Dense Landscaping

Foundation plantings, shaded shrubs, bedding edges, ivy, and other protected resting zones.

Under Decks, Steps & Play Areas

Cool, protected areas where mosquitoes rest and where ticks can hold close to family activity zones.

Shaded Foundation Lines

Cooler zones around the home that can retain moisture and provide protected insect habitat.

Standing-Water Sources

Containers, drainage areas, toys, planters, and other water-holding spots that can contribute to mosquito breeding.

Leaf Litter & Damp Edges

Moist ground-level habitat that can help ticks and other pests persist between visits.

Property-Specific Hot Spots

Your technician adjusts treatment based on your yard, pressure, weather, access, pets, and landscape conditions.

We generally avoid open lawn, vegetable gardens, and actively flowering areas. It is not just what we use. It is how we use it. The goal is to place treatment where it can do the most useful work while staying targeted around the way your family uses the property.

The Bite Back Method

The Application Is Built Around Your Property

Our service brings together inspection, pest behavior, treatment placement, timing, and follow-through. The product matters—but the application strategy is what turns those products into a complete seasonal program.

1

Read the Property

We consider property size, wooded edges, shade, moisture, pets, wildlife activity, prior tick history, mosquito pressure, and access.

2

Place Treatment Intentionally

Service focuses on woodlines, shrubs, fence lines, shaded edges, decks, steps, and other pressure zones instead of treating every part of the yard the same way.

3

Maintain the Treatment Rhythm

Seasonal service generally runs April through October on an approximately 21-day rhythm designed to maintain control as conditions and pest pressure change.

4

Observe & Adjust

We flag standing water, overgrowth, heavy leaf litter, drainage issues, and other conditions that can affect results so the program reflects what is actually happening in the yard.

Bite Back Team Serving New Jersey Properties

Experience becomes application strategy

After more than 60,000 tick and mosquito applications, one lesson is consistent: no two yards create pressure in exactly the same way. Your technician looks for the conditions that help ticks and mosquitoes persist so treatment can be placed more intelligently and you can improve results between visits.

Why Bite Back Is Different

It Is Not Just What We Use. It Is How We Use It.

Many companies can spray a yard. Bite Back was built around a different idea: combine all-natural treatment chemistry with a modern, habitat-based application strategy refined through more than 60,000 real-world applications.

All-Natural Chemistry, Used Deliberately

Our standard service uses essential-oil-based EPA 25(b) minimum-risk products rather than making broad-spectrum synthetic pyrethroids our default yard chemistry. Product choice is only the first step—the placement of that treatment matters too.

A Treatment System, Not a Blanket Spray

We use pest behavior, shade, moisture, vegetation, wildlife movement, and property layout to concentrate treatment on the zones that matter instead of treating every square foot the same way.

Refined Through 60,000+ Applications

Years of real-yard experience have shaped how we evaluate pressure, select treatment zones, use liquid and granular formats, maintain timing, and identify conditions that can limit results.

Not Sure Which Plan?

Is Shield or Shield Plus Right for My Yard?

You do not have to diagnose the property yourself. Tell us about the yard and we will recommend the appropriate treatment level based on habitat, property conditions, pest pressure, and how ticks or mosquitoes are likely using the space.

Shield: most typical lower-pressure yards.
Shield Plus: our strongest tick-focused option for wooded, unfenced, pet-heavy, deer-active, shaded, or higher-pressure yards because it adds Nature-Cide Granular Plus at ground and perimeter level.
Starting mid-season? It may take 2–3 treatments to establish the level of control we normally see from an early-season start.
Service FAQ

Questions We Hear Most Often

The important details about plans, timing, treatment areas, safety, callbacks, and getting started.

Plans & Pricing
+What services does Bite Back offer?

Bite Back provides combined seasonal tick and mosquito control for New Jersey properties. Shield is our core program, and Shield Plus adds Nature-Cide Granular Plus for properties that need stronger ground-level and perimeter tick support.

+How is Bite Back different from a typical yard-spray service?

Bite Back is built around a targeted treatment system rather than simply spraying the yard. We combine all-natural essential-oil products with property inspection, pest behavior, habitat, treatment placement, seasonal timing, and—when needed—a second granular application format. Our approach has been refined through more than 60,000 tick and mosquito applications.

+How much does Shield start at?

Shield local-route pricing starts at $89 per treatment for qualifying New Jersey yards. Final pricing depends on yard size, route availability, property conditions, and pest pressure.

+How much does Shield Plus start at?

Shield Plus starts at $172.50 per treatment and includes everything in Shield plus Nature-Cide Granular Plus. The important difference is not simply “more product.” It adds a second ground-level treatment format for perimeter zones, bedding areas, wooded edges, leaf-litter habitat, and other places where high tick pressure can persist between liquid-treatment visits.

+Is prepay a separate plan?

No. Prepay is a billing option for Shield or Shield Plus. The current full-season prepay offer is 10% off while available.

+Do most yards need Shield Plus?

No. Most typical yards can start with Shield. Shield Plus becomes the stronger choice when the property is wooded, unfenced, shaded, pet-heavy, deer-active, heavily landscaped, or has a history of elevated tick pressure because Granular Plus lets us treat the ground and perimeter layer in addition to the vegetation layer.

+Why can granular protection be better than spray alone for high tick pressure?

Liquid treatment is important for shaded vegetation, shrubs, fence lines, and woodline resting zones. Nature-Cide Granular Plus adds a second treatment format at ground level in bedding areas, leaf litter, wooded transitions, and perimeter zones. On harder tick properties, treating both layers gives us a more complete strategy than relying on the vegetation layer alone.

+What does “water-activated” Granular Plus mean?

Nature-Cide Granular Plus is designed to activate with moisture in the zones where it is placed. That makes it useful for the ground-level, shaded, landscaped, and perimeter areas where tick pressure can persist and where we want a complementary treatment layer alongside the regular liquid program.

Service & Timing
+How often do you treat the property?

Our standard seasonal schedule is approximately every 21 days from April through October. Routing and weather can move individual visits slightly.

+Do I need to be home for service?

No. As long as we have access to the yard and pets are inside, service can usually be completed without you being home. We communicate before and after the visit.

+Can I start in the middle of the season?

Yes. Mid-season starts are common, but pressure has already had time to build. It can take 2–3 treatments to establish the level of control we normally see when service begins earlier in the season.

+What areas of the yard do you focus on?

We focus on woodlines, brush edges, fence lines, shaded shrubs, foundation landscaping, under decks and steps, dense vegetation, leaf litter, and standing-water sources where applicable. We generally avoid open lawn, vegetable gardens, and actively flowering areas.

Family Yards & Results
+What should kids and pets do after treatment?

Our program uses essential-oil-based minimum-risk products designed for outdoor residential service. People and pets should still remain off treated areas until the application is dry and service instructions have been followed.

+Do you spray flowering plants?

Our service is targeted. We avoid actively flowering areas and focus instead on the shaded, protected zones where tick and mosquito pressure is more likely to build.

+What can I do between visits to improve results?

Remove standing water, keep grass trimmed, clear heavy leaf litter, clean gutters, thin dense overgrowth, and keep toys, tarps, buckets, planters, and corrugated drain extensions from holding water.

+What happens if I still have activity after service?

If you do not experience a reduction after a week of your second treatment, contact us. When the guarantee requirements are met, we will reinspect and respray the property free. Read the guarantee process.
