Flea & Tick Control

Fleas can be found on both cats and dogs and are parasitic organisms that survive on the blood of their hosts. Though they are unable to fly, they have the ability to jump and can easily get onto the fur of animals that come into close contact with them. Fleas are difficult to get rid of and should be left to professionals. Ticks are another parasite that also feeds off the blood of their hosts. They attach themselves to both people and animals and can be much more dangerous than fleas due to their ability to transmit diseases. Dog ticks and deer ticks are the two most common ticks found throughout the United States.

Fleas can be brought into the home by dogs or cats. They attach to the animal when it is outside, and then make their way inside where they can live in its fur and bedding. It's hard to keep fleas away from both your pet and your house, so if you don't take steps to prevent them, you could have a problem with an infestation. Fleas need to feed on the blood of a host in order to stay alive. Sometimes, if their main host is gone, they can become an issue inside your home. For example, if you catch and take away a mouse in your house, the fleas that were living off it will now try to get a meal from either your pets or people.

Many homeowners find that immature fleas can be hard to detect. It's a good idea to contact a pest control specialist for help. Often, the regular store-bought products won't solve the problem completely. A PestMaster expert will do an intensive inspection and locate where young fleas are living. Afterward, we will create a plan for treating and managing them.
