Fleas & Ticks

Small, wingless parasites that jump long distances, fleas are reddish-brown pests that feed on pets and humans alike. Female fleas lay eggs directly on animal fur, which then drop off to infest carpets, pet bedding, and furniture before hatching. Because larvae hide deep in dark cracks and pupate in protected cocoons, infestations escalate rapidly—causing incessant scratching, skin allergies, and disease risks. Eradicating a flea population requires targeted, comprehensive treatment to break their resilient lifecycle across all stages.

Solving a flea problem requires a team effort between us and the homeowner. We apply specialized interior and exterior treatments to eliminate active adult fleas and disrupt egg and larval development. Because success depends heavily on prepping pet bedding, vacuuming thoroughly, and treating pets simultaneously, we provide a clear preparation checklist prior to treatment to ensure complete, lasting relief.

Ranging in size from tiny pinheads to the size of a sunflower seed when engorged, ticks are blood-feeding parasites commonly found in brush, tall grasses, and wooded areas. Species like the American dog tick and black-legged (deer) tick go through four distinct life stages—egg, larva, nymph, and adult—requiring a blood meal from mammals, birds, or reptiles at every step after hatching. Because ticks can transmit serious pathogens and diseases like Lyme disease to both humans and pets, managing overgrown vegetation and treating active outdoor harborages is critical for keeping your property safe.

We provide targeted yard treatments and perimeter defense barriers that focus on high-risk shade and moisture zones where ticks hide, effectively curbing populations before they can hitch a ride on your family or pets.
