Ticks are small, blood-feeding parasites that pose serious health risks to humans and animals. Common species include the deer tick and the American dog tick. These pests are typically found in tall grass, leaf litter, and wooded areas but can also infest yards, pet bedding, and even indoor spaces if brought in by pets.
Ticks can transmit dangerous diseases such as Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and ehrlichiosis. They attach firmly to the skin and feed for several days, often going unnoticed until symptoms appear. Regular inspection of pets, clothing, and skin is essential—especially after outdoor activities.
Flea bites cause itching, red bumps, and allergic reactions in both people and pets. In severe cases, they can transmit tapeworms and other diseases. Because flea eggs, larvae, and pupae can hide in hidden areas, infestations often persist without proper treatment.
Effective tick control combines outdoor habitat reduction with ongoing monitoring and preventive care. Professional pest control services offer thorough inspections, safe applications, and personalized plans to protect your home, yard, and family from tick-borne threats.
