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

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.

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.

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 mosquito and tick activity.

Shield Plus starts at $159 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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
