Flea & Tick Control

Fleas, wingless six-legged parasites that feed on the blood of a host, are incredible jumpers, making it easy for them to grab a ride on a passing pet. Stealthy, tiny, and hard to detect, these irritating insects can populate on your pet rather quickly due to their unusually high egg-laying rate. One female can lay up to 18 eggs a day and fur provides a soft, warm place for them to call home.

Ticks are another type of parasite that can feed on your furry friends. These notorious hitchhikers like to grab a ride on your pet’s fur–or even on your hair or clothing! When ticks take hold they can transmit a variety of diseases and cause health issues ranging from discomfort to allergic reactions to serious illnesses. Because their bite is usually painless, it can be very difficult to detect and sometimes goes unnoticed until it’s too late. Some common diseases that these pests can spread are Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, Colorado tick fever, and Rickettsiosis.

Flea & Tick Prevention and Control

We know that pest prevention begins right in your backyard. People often treat their pets to protect them from ticks and fleas, but it’s also necessary to treat your lawn, where dogs and cats often pick up the parasites.
