Same-Day Tick Control in New York & New Jersey
Having ticks in your yard puts your loved ones in danger, including your furry friends. These pests can linger on your property for days or even weeks, waiting for the right moment to hitch a ride on your pant leg or burrow into your dog’s fur. Protect your whole family with our tick yard treatment. At Superior Pest Elimination, we use tick boxes, which are an innovative treatment only available through a select number of certified companies.
How Tick Boxes Work
Our tick control uses tick boxes, which are small plastic boxes that contain both bait and an insecticide. The bait attracts small mammals like chipmunks and mice that are likely to bring ticks onto your property. As they pass through the box, the animals will rub against a wick that holds a low-dose insecticide. The insecticide is harmless to wildlife but very effective against ticks, eliminating them at the source.
Our tick prevention also includes:
- A detailed inspection to learn more about your property’s needs.
- Strategically-placed tick boxes for the best results.
- Visits every six months to maintain and change the boxes as needed.
- Year-round protection from ticks so you can safely spend time outside.
The Dangers of Sharing Your Yard with Ticks
Most ticks are harmless, but some carry bacteria that can cause diseases like Rocky Mountain spotted fever and Lyme disease. Without treatment, these diseases can have a serious impact on your health and even be fatal. There’s no way for you to see which ticks are carrying harmful bacteria and which aren’t, which is why all of them are considered dangerous.
Tips to Keep Ticks Away
Professional treatment works best when paired with tick prevention techniques that you can do yourself. These include:
- Mowing your lawn regularly to prevent tall grasses.
- Removing leaves, grass clippings, and other lawn debris.
- Creating a three-foot barrier of wood chips or gravel between your lawn and the woods.
- Stacking firewood away from your home in a dry area.
- Cleaning up items like old furniture or trash.

Frequently Asked Tick Control Questions
Do you offer same-day service?
Yes. We offer same-day tick control so you can get protection within hours of calling.
How do tick boxes work?
Tick boxes are small plastic containers with bait and a low-dose insecticide. They attract mice and chipmunks, which are common tick carriers. As the animals pass through the box, they pick up the insecticide on their fur — which kills the ticks they're carrying. It's harmless to wildlife but highly effective against ticks.
How often do you service the tick boxes?
We visit every six months to maintain and replace the boxes, providing year-round protection.
What makes your tick treatment different from other companies?
We use tick boxes — an innovative treatment only available through a select number of certified companies. Most providers rely solely on spraying, but tick boxes eliminate ticks at the source by targeting the small mammals that carry them onto your property.
Why can't I just check for ticks myself instead of treating the yard?
There's no way to tell which ticks are carrying harmful bacteria and which aren't — so all of them are considered a risk. Ticks can carry Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever, both of which can be serious or even fatal without treatment. Yard treatment eliminates the threat before ticks ever get the chance to bite.
