Protect your family and pets with targeted tick treatment for backyard spaces
Ticks aren’t just a seasonal nuisance—they’re a serious health concern for families across Northern New Jersey. With the rise in tick-borne illnesses like Lyme disease, homeowners are increasingly looking for safe, effective ways to manage ticks in their yards.
But tick control shouldn’t be treated as an isolated issue. The most effective tick treatment for backyard spaces is part of a holistic landscape maintenance plan—one that supports a healthy, thriving ecosystem while reducing pest risks.
Protect Your Yard and Your Loved Ones from Ticks
Take a proactive approach with professional tick treatment for your backyard. Call Borst Landscape & Designat (201) 822-9327 orcontact us onlineto learn how pest control fits into your complete landscape care plan.
Why Backyard Tick Treatment Matters
Ticks flourish in the humid, shaded environments common in Bergen County backyards—especially near wood lines, tall grasses, and leaf litter. If your landscape includes these elements, you’re at greater risk for ticks.
Unchecked, they can pose significant threats:
- Lyme disease
- Anaplasmosis
- Babesiosis
- Tick paralysis
Proactive treatment can dramatically reduce tick populations—and integrated pest management makes the process smarter, safer, and more sustainable.
The Borst Approach: Integrated Tick Control
At Borst, we don’t believe in “one-size-fits-all” pesticide sprays. Our organic and traditional tick treatment programs are tailored to your property’s needs and integrated into a broader landscape maintenance strategy that focuses on:
- Prevention
- Natural deterrents
- Ongoing monitoring
This balanced, environmentally conscious approach helps maintain the health of your landscapewhile effectively controlling ticks.
Benefits of Including Tick Treatment in Your Landscape Plan
Long-Term Protection
A single treatment may reduce tick populations for a few weeks, but consistent, seasonal applications as part of your landscape maintenance schedule will help keep them under control throughout the year.
Safer Outdoor Living
Regular tick treatments help make your yard saferfor children, pets, and guests, especially if you have wooded edges, play areas, or gardens.
Improved Plant Health
Healthy lawns and garden beds naturally resist pests. Our holistic care approach improves soil quality, strengthens plant roots, and keeps your landscape resilient.
Environmental Responsibility
We use organic and eco-friendly pest control options whenever possible. These treatments are targeted, reducing harm to beneficial insects and pollinators.
Peace of Mind
Integrated pest control eliminates guesswork. We monitor and adjust based on tick activity, weather patterns, and the specific conditions of your property.
Where Ticks Thrive—and How We Target Them
Ticks are most commonly found:
- Along wood lines and fence rows
- In tall grass or overgrown areas
- Under shrubs or groundcover
- Around stacked wood or stone piles
- Near shaded, moist areas like compost bins or sheds
Our treatments focus on these hotspots while improving the surrounding landscaping to make your yard less hospitable to ticks.
Organic Tick Control Options
Worried about chemicals? Borst offers organic tick control treatments that use natural repellents like cedar oil and botanical extracts. These solutions:
- Are safe for kids, pets, and pollinators
- Break down quickly in the environment
- Can be combined with habitat modification for maximum impact
This makes them ideal for families who want effective results without compromising health or environmental values.
Landscape Maintenance That Supports Pest Control
Tick control is most effective when combined with regular landscape maintenance:
- Mowing regularlyto reduce tall grass where ticks hide
- Trimming back shrubsto improve sunlight and airflow
- Cleaning up leaves and debristo remove tick habitats
- Defining bordersbetween wooded and lawn areas with gravel or mulch
