Fleas & Ticks Holding the Standard for Quality Service

Flea & Tick Control

Most every pet owner knows how annoying and disruptive fleas and ticks can be. When found on your property, they can make life miserable for your pets and are almost impossible to eliminate without professional intervention. Fleas and ticks can live and travel in wide-open areas. Unlike most insects, they do not reside exclusively in the cracks and crevices of your home. Fleas and ticks can be found anywhere inside or outside your home and property.

Disease Carrying Fleas and Ticks

Fleas and ticks are carriers of dangerous and sometimes even fatal diseases such as lyme disease, rocky mountain spotted fever, and babesiosis. A-Tex Pest Management offers preventative measures in the spring and mid-summer that can make a big difference in controlling both fleas and ticks on your property. We provide pest services specifically designed to deal with these pests using the most advanced products and methods in the industry. When it comes to flea and ticks, it’s best to be proactive and call A-Tex Pest Management before population levels get out of hand.

How to Keep Fleas and Ticks Out of Your Home

Keeping fleas and ticks out of your home requires a combination of preventative measures both indoors and outdoors. Here are some effective strategies:

  1. Regular Cleaning Routine: Keep your home clean by vacuuming carpets, rugs, and furniture frequently, paying extra attention to areas where pets spend time. Dispose of vacuum bags immediately.

  2. Laundry Practices: Wash pet bedding and your own linens regularly in hot water to eliminate any flea eggs or larvae.

  3. Yard Maintenance: Maintain your yard by mowing the lawn regularly and removing any tall grass, leaf piles, or debris where fleas and ticks could hide.

  4. Pet Care: Bathe and groom your pets often using flea and tick shampoo, and comb their fur with a flea comb to check for any signs of infestation.

  5. Preventative Products: Use vet-recommended flea and tick prevention products on your pets, such as spot-on treatments, collars, or oral medications.

  6. Natural Alternatives: Consider using natural repellents like certain essential oils (such as cedarwood, lavender, or eucalyptus), but always check with your vet for pet-safe options.

  7. Seal Entry Points: Seal any cracks or gaps around doors, windows, and walls to prevent pests from entering your home.

  8. Professional Pest Control: Schedule regular pest control treatments for your home and yard, especially if you live in an area prone to fleas and ticks.

  9. Wildlife Prevention: Minimize contact between your pets and wild animals, and keep bird feeders away from your home, as they can attract wildlife carrying fleas and ticks.

  10. Routine Checks: Regularly inspect your pets for signs of fleas and ticks, such as excessive scratching or visible pests on their fur. Treat any infestations promptly to prevent them from spreading.

By incorporating these strategies into your routine, you can effectively reduce the risk of fleas and ticks invading your home and ensure the well-being of your family and pets.
