How Professional Flea & Tick Control Works

Our comprehensive 5-step process eliminates fleas and ticks at all life stages while keeping your pets safe.

Step 1: Thorough Inspection
Step 1

Thorough Inspection

Pet-safe specialists in our network inspect all areas where pets spend time—carpets, furniture, pet bedding, baseboards, and yards. They identify flea and tick activity levels, life stages present (eggs, larvae, pupae, adults), and conducive conditions. Assessment includes checking pets and coordinating with your veterinarian's treatment plan.

  • Complete indoor and outdoor inspection
  • Life stage identification
  • Pet treatment coordination
Step 2: Pet-Safe Treatment Plan
Step 2

Pet-Safe Treatment Plan

Technicians in our network develop a comprehensive treatment strategy using pet-safe products for indoor treatments, outdoor barrier sprays for yards, IGR (Insect Growth Regulator) applications to prevent egg development, and coordination with your veterinarian's flea/tick prevention for pets. All products are pet-safe when properly applied.

  • Pet-safe product selection
  • Indoor and outdoor treatments
  • IGR for life cycle disruption
Step 3: Indoor & Outdoor Treatments
Step 3

Indoor & Outdoor Treatments

Technicians apply EPA-approved treatments to carpets, furniture, pet bedding areas, baseboards, and cracks where fleas hide. IGR is applied to prevent eggs and larvae from developing into biting adults. Outdoor treatments create a barrier in yards, focusing on shaded areas, grass, leaf litter, and along fence lines where ticks are active.

  • Comprehensive indoor treatment
  • Yard barrier spray for ticks
  • IGR application to all areas
Step 4: Follow-Up & Monitoring
Step 4

Follow-Up & Monitoring

Technicians in our network return for follow-up treatments at 2-3 week intervals to address newly emerged fleas from pupae (which treatments can't kill). They monitor flea and tick activity, assess treatment effectiveness, and re-treat as needed. Most infestations are controlled within 2-3 months due to the flea life cycle.

  • Multiple follow-up visits
  • Activity monitoring
  • Re-treatment as needed
Step 5: Ongoing Prevention & Pet Care
Step 5

Ongoing Prevention & Pet Care

After elimination, maintain protection with monthly yard treatments during flea/tick season (April-October), coordinate with your veterinarian's year-round pet prevention, regular vacuuming and pet bedding washing, and ongoing monitoring. Consistent prevention is essential to prevent re-infestation, especially with pets.

How do I know if I have fleas or ticks?+
Flea signs include pets scratching excessively, small dark specks (flea dirt) on pet bedding, and seeing small jumping insects. Ticks are found attached to pets or crawling on floors and walls. Flea bites on humans appear as small red dots often around ankles. Check pets regularly, especially after outdoor activity in wooded areas.
Are flea and tick treatments safe for my pets?+
Yes. Professional treatments use pet-safe products specifically designed for homes with animals. Treatments are applied when pets are out of the area and must dry completely (typically 2-4 hours) before pets return. Always coordinate professional treatments with your veterinarian's flea/tick prevention program for best results.
What are IGRs and why are they important for flea control?+
Insect Growth Regulators (IGRs) are chemicals that prevent flea eggs and larvae from developing into biting adults. Since 95% of a flea infestation exists as eggs, larvae, and pupae (not adults), IGRs are essential for breaking the flea life cycle and achieving long-term control. They provide 6-12 months of protection.
How long does it take to eliminate a flea infestation?+
Flea control typically takes 2-3 months due to the flea life cycle. You may see fleas for 2-3 weeks after treatment as pupae emerge (treatment doesn't kill pupae). Consistent vacuuming, washing pet bedding, and following up with professional treatments achieve complete elimination. Patience is key.
Can you treat my yard for ticks?+
Yes. Yard treatments create a barrier in areas where ticks are most active—along tree lines, tall grass, leaf litter, and wooded areas. Treatments kill ticks on contact and provide 3-4 weeks of protection. Monthly treatments during tick season (April-October) combined with habitat modification provide best results.
Do I need to treat if only one pet has fleas?+
Yes. If one pet has fleas, assume all pets, carpets, furniture, and bedding are infested. Fleas reproduce extremely rapidly—one female can lay 50 eggs per day. Complete treatment includes all pets (via veterinarian), all indoor areas, and outdoor areas where pets spend time. Partial treatment will fail.
