Knockout Mosquito and tick control

Knockout Mosquito and tick control is a family-run pest company based at Lewis Street in Eatontown, New Jersey, covering Monmouth, Middlesex, and Ocean Counties, with a named town list: Red Bank, Long Branch, Edison, Freehold, Brick, Toms River, Middletown, Manalapan, Marlboro, Rumson, Neptune, Point Pleasant, and Jackson. That specificity matters immediately, because most regional sprayers are deliberately vague about their outer edges.

Service area and review profile

Knockout Mosquito and tick control holds 63 reviews on Birdeye at a 5-star average. Sixty-three is not a trivial number for a seasonal local operator in a single county cluster. The company also runs a Yelp listing with photos, a GuildQuality profile drawing on verified customer surveys, and an active ProvenExpert page; exact review tallies on those three were not surfaced in this review. A 5-star Google claim appears on the company's own service page, but no independent count confirmed it, so leave that aside. The Birdeye figure is the anchor, and at 63 reviews pointing the same direction, it is harder to dismiss than the typical handful a small local company accumulates passively.

Verified ratings across multiple platforms

The scope is deliberately narrow: mosquitoes, ticks, and spotted lanternfly, which has been established in New Jersey for several years now. Rodents, ants, and termites are simply not offered. A homeowner with a multi-pest situation needs a different company. What the narrow scope produces, though, is depth in the three areas Knockout Mosquito and tick control covers. The chemical specifics and pricing structure published on the website reflect accumulated detail from an operator that has been doing one thing long enough to have already answered every customer question in advance.

Pest focus

Two treatment tracks run in parallel, and neither is treated as a premium add-on available only on request. The conventional option is an EPA-approved water-based permethrin formula. The alternative is an all-natural 25B blend using cedar wood oil, citronella oil, lemongrass oil, rosemary oil, and peppermint oil. Households with young children, pets, or vegetable gardens tend to ask about this early, and having a direct answer with its own price line on the public site settles it before any call.

Treatment options and pricing

Pay-As-You-Go runs $80 plus tax for the EPA formula and $95 plus tax for the all-natural version. Tick-specific work is $99 plus tax for granular treatment and $90 plus tax per visit on the monthly tick maintenance program. The 2026 Season Pass is $450 plus tax for the EPA package, covering six treatments, larval control, and one free granular treatment; the all-natural equivalent is $540 plus tax. All of this is publicly listed. Most local operators in this category quote by phone only, which makes the published breakdown genuinely unusual and useful for anyone weighing Pay-As-You-Go against a season pass.

Monthly tick maintenance program

The tick maintenance program warrants a separate note for Monmouth County homeowners. Tick pressure here does not resolve after one visit. A monthly schedule applied to the same property repeatedly addresses how ticks move through leaf litter and grass over an entire season. Knockout Mosquito and tick control builds that as a standing option rather than an occasional add-on, which is the right call biologically. Families with dogs or children who play in the yard tend to benefit most from this kind of sustained program, and the pricing makes it a reasonable commitment.

Spotted lanternfly coverage

The spotted lanternfly treatment is worth flagging separately. That pest has spread through New Jersey counties in recent seasons and most mosquito-only operators have not added it to their service list. Knockout Mosquito and tick control includes it as a standard offering, which matters for homeowners along the outer edges of Monmouth and Middlesex Counties where the insect has moved into residential properties. The combination of mosquito, tick, and spotted lanternfly coverage makes Knockout Mosquito and tick control a more complete seasonal solution than single-pest operators in the same region.

Licensing and customer access

Technicians are described as licensed. The company maintains a pest-control blog aimed at homeowners who want to understand the mechanics of barrier sprays versus larvicide programs. Whether that content is regularly updated or quietly aging is not evident from the listing alone. The licensing claim is consistent with New Jersey's requirements for commercial pesticide applicators, though verification would come from the state's pesticide registration records rather than from the listing itself.

A phone number and a free-quote form sit on the homepage. Scheduling accepts phone, text, or form submissions, and a customer field portal handles account management. The business address appears on the Facebook page. That covers the basics without friction.

Homeowners around Freehold or Middletown who have looked at a national franchise and found the pricing deliberately vague will find Knockout Mosquito and tick control simpler to evaluate: explicit service map, two chemically distinct treatment options, published prices, and 63 external reviews supporting the quality claim. For comparison, Mosquito Joe operates franchise territories in the same geography with more marketing infrastructure but less pricing transparency. Knockout Mosquito and tick control gives a clearer picture of what a homeowner is getting and what they will pay before any conversation happens. For Eatontown-area residents prioritizing price transparency and a narrow specialist focus, Knockout Mosquito and tick control is a straightforward option to request a quote from.
