Tick Control in Westchester, Rockland & Bergen County
Westchester and Rockland Counties consistently rank among the highest in New York State — and among the highest in the entire country — for Lyme disease incidence. The blacklegged tick (deer tick) thrives in the wooded, leaf-littered landscapes that define residential neighborhoods throughout these counties: the trail edges of Harriman State Park in Rockland, the wooded backyards of Chappaqua, Bedford, and South Salem in Westchester, and the forested corridors running through Bergen County, New Jersey. Wherever deer, mice, and wild turkeys move freely through suburban properties — which describes the vast majority of the tri-county region — tick populations follow. Lyme disease is not the only concern. Anaplasmosis, Babesiosis, and Powassan virus are all transmitted by the same blacklegged tick and have been documented across Westchester, Rockland, and Bergen County. The Lone Star tick, which spreads Ehrlichiosis and can trigger Alpha-gal syndrome (a red meat allergy), has expanded its range northward into this region and is now established across much of southern New York and New Jersey. American dog ticks remain common throughout the area as well, transmitting Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. Hello Pest Control's tick control programs target the areas of your property where tick exposure is highest — leaf litter zones, wood pile edges, ornamental plantings bordering lawn, and the transition zones between maintained turf and wooded areas. Regular seasonal treatment significantly reduces tick populations and the risk of tick-borne illness for your family and pets.

How It Works
- 1
Property walkthrough to map high-risk tick zones — wood edges, leaf accumulation, ornamental borders, stone walls, and brushy areas where tick populations concentrate.
- 2
Targeted barrier spray application using EPA-registered acaricides along tick transition zones, perimeter plantings, and the first 9 feet of wooded edge — where the vast majority of tick encounters occur.
- 3
Optional granular treatment for leaf litter and ground cover areas where liquid applications have limited penetration.
- 4
Seasonal re-treatment schedule (typically April through November) aligned with the two peak tick activity periods: spring nymph season and fall adult season, when transmission risk is highest.

Tick Control FAQ
When is tick season in Westchester and Rockland County?
Ticks are active almost year-round in our region, but peak risk occurs in two windows: May through July, when nymph-stage ticks (tiny and easy to miss) are most active and responsible for most Lyme transmissions; and October through November, when adult ticks quest aggressively. Treatment programs should begin in early spring to address nymphs before activity peaks.
Do tick sprays actually work?
Yes — studies show that professionally applied acaricide treatments targeting tick harborage zones can reduce tick populations on treated properties by 68–100%. The key is treating the right areas (the transition zones between lawn and woods or landscaping) at the right times in the tick lifecycle.
What's the difference between tick control for yards and the tick prevention products I put on my dog?
They're complementary, not interchangeable. Products on your pet protect the animal from attached ticks. Yard treatment reduces the total tick population on your property, which lowers exposure for everyone — humans included. Both strategies together provide the most comprehensive protection.
My yard isn't wooded. Do I still need tick control?
Possibly, yes. Deer ticks don't require dense forest — they travel on deer, mice, and other wildlife that move freely through suburban yards across Westchester, Rockland, and Bergen County. Even well-maintained suburban lots with ornamental plantings, bird feeders, and adjacent unmaintained areas can harbor significant tick populations.
