Fleas and Ticks

We can usually treat your flea problems, safely, in one visit!

     Fleas and ticks can be an immediate concern. Both will spread disease, cause skin irritations and make life miserable for you and your pets. Fleas and ticks are not always brought in or harbored on your pet. Wildlife can also serve as an excellent carrier for these pests. Raccoons, rabbits, squirrels and even rodents such as mice and rats can bring fleas and ticks into your living space. Once flea or tick populations start, they can multiply and grow to large numbers in a matter of days. A female flea can lay 2,000 eggs while consuming 15 times her body weight in blood.

     Ticks live off the blood of mammals, birds and some reptiles. They can carry a host of diseases, including Lyme disease. Ticks cannot jump or fly so they wait in tall grass for a passing host to brush against them. They then latch onto the host by inserting a feeding tube into the skin. Newborn ticks can attack in gatherings of 30,000 or more. While most active in the warm months, ticks can attack a host at any time of the year.
