Mosquito service
| Service | Price | How it works |

| Mosquito treatment | $95 per treatment | Yard treatment every 21 days; retreat if mosquitoes return within 21 days |

Treatment targets where adult mosquitoes rest (shrubs, shady areas, under decks), and we point out standing water where they breed.
Ticks
Ticks in North Jersey live in tall grass, leaf litter, wood edges and stone walls, especially where deer and mice travel. Yards that border woods, like many in Englewood Cliffs, Tenafly and the Palisades area, see the most. Keep grass short, clear leaf litter, put a strip of wood chips or gravel between lawn and woods, and check kids and pets after time outside. Treatment focuses on the edges and shady areas where ticks wait. Ask your doctor about any tick bite you're worried about.
Where the fleas are coming from
The three situations behind most of these calls in North Jersey:
Fleas on Dogs and Cats
- Pet scratching and chewing at its skin
- Black specks ("flea dirt") in the fur
- Fleas on the belly and base of the tail
Your vet treats the pet and we treat the home. Both have to happen at the same time, or fleas jump right back on.
Fleas in Carpets, Couches and Beds
- Bites around ankles and lower legs
- Fleas jumping on white socks
- Specks on pet bedding and rugs
Most of a flea problem is eggs, larvae and cocoons in the house, not adults on the pet. Our flea service includes a revisit 10 to 14 days after the first treatment to catch the ones that hatch later.
Fleas and No Pets? Look for Animals
- Fleas with no dog or cat in the home
- Noises in the attic or under the porch
- Digging under a deck or shed
Raccoons, opossums, squirrels and stray cats living under a deck or in the attic can drop fleas. Treating the house won't hold until the animal is out and the opening is closed.
Flea control
Fleas need three things handled together: the pet (talk to your vet), the home (vacuum carpets, furniture and pet bedding thoroughly before treatment) and the yard if pets spend time there. Our flea service includes a revisit 10 to 14 days after the first treatment, to catch fleas that hatch after it. See flea and tick control.
Englewood and Englewood Cliffs
Englewood's older neighborhoods have big shade trees and established gardens, and Englewood Cliffs borders the wooded Palisades. Shade, leaf litter and wildlife like deer, raccoons and squirrels mean mosquitoes and ticks in the yard, and fleas carried in by pets or by wildlife living under decks and sheds. If fleas keep coming back even with treated pets, an animal living under the house may be bringing them.
Mosquito season in North Jersey
Mosquitoes in New Jersey are active from late spring until the first hard frosts, with the heaviest pressure in July and August, especially after rain. The Asian tiger mosquito bites during the day and breeds in containers as small as a bottle cap, so emptying standing water matters as much as treatment. Starting early in the season and keeping to the 21-day schedule keeps numbers down. Call in spring to get on the schedule.
Simple ways to prevent it
Vacuum every day
Vacuum carpets, rugs, couch cushions and under furniture daily for two weeks and empty the vacuum outside each time.
Wash on hot
Wash pet bedding, throw blankets and washable rugs in hot water and dry on high heat.
Treat the pet
Ask your vet about flea control for every dog and cat in the home, and keep it up on schedule.
Close up under decks
Block openings under porches, decks and sheds so raccoons, opossums and stray cats can't move in.
