Frequently Asked Questions About Fleas & Ticks
What are fleas and ticks?
Fleas and ticks are well-known parasitic pests that can easily cause problems once they invade your property. Fleas are small, no larger than a couple of millimeters, and dark in color, while ticks in our area can be as small as a poppy seed or grow as large as five millimeters. They vary in color or pattern depending on the specific tick species you're dealing with.
Both tick and flea infestations can occur at the same time around your property, or they can happen individually. Either way, protecting your property from these pests is essential if you want to avoid fleas and tick bites.
Are fleas and ticks dangerous?
Though many people assume these pests aren't that dangerous based on their small size, fleas and ticks are quite problematic around your property. Fleas transmit diseases such as plague, murine typhus, tapeworms, and cat-scratch fever to humans. They may also cause anemia, heartworm, or lethargy problems in your pets could have fatal consequences.
Ticks are known for transmitting diseases such as Rocky Mountain spotted fever, Lyme disease, anaplasmosis, and many more unpleasant illnesses with their bite, in addition to triggering allergic reactions or introducing bacteria into bitten areas.
If you want to avoid the dangers that these pests bring, it's essential to get rid of fleas and ticks with the help of our flea and tick treatment service technicians.

Why Do I Have a Flea and Tick Problem?
A flea and tick problem is most likely due to your property having many factors that attract these pests on easy display. Access to food (pets, animals, and humans) to feed on, excess moisture around your property, and overgrown or cluttered areas to hide in, all encourage ticks and fleas to move in and stay put.
Where will I find fleas and ticks?
Outdoors, fleas and ticks hide in long grass, around piles of debris, or on wildlife that wander onto your property. Once inside, fleas and ticks can be found on humans or animals or hiding in fabrics or carpets.
