When it comes to managing fleas and ticks, we know that one size does not fit all. That’s why we start with a thorough inspection of your home, inside and out.

Understanding that every home is unique, we tailor our treatment plans to specifically match your situation, focusing on the areas that matter most.

Our flea control services are designed to address not only the adult fleas but also their eggs and larvae, stopping the infestation at its source. We’re aware of the health risks associated with fleas, including the potential for flea-borne diseases, and we take every precaution to ensure your home environment is safe and healthy.

For tick control, we focus on habitat modification alongside safe and effective treatment applications. We target the areas where ticks are most likely to be found, reducing the risk of tick-borne illnesses such as Lyme disease. Our goal is to create a barrier around your home that keeps ticks out, protecting you, your family, and your pets.

At Orkin, we stand behind our work. That’s why we offer the Orkin Guarantee, promising you peace of mind with our 30-Day Money Back Guarantee. If you’re not completely satisfied, we’ll work to make it right, including offering free return visits or a full refund.

Preventative Measures and Tips

Keeping your home and pets safe from fleas and ticks is a top priority for us at Orkin. We understand the discomfort and health risks these pests can bring into your life. That’s why we’ve put together some easy-to-follow tips to help you prevent flea and tick infestations.

Firstly, it’s important to keep your outdoor areas neat. Ticks love to hide in tall grass and brush, so by keeping your lawn trimmed and removing any unnecessary vegetation, you can reduce their hiding spots. Fleas, on the other hand, often hitch a ride into your home on pets, so ensuring your yard is clean can also discourage wildlife that might carry fleas.

Speaking of pets, regular care is crucial. Use flea and tick prevention products recommended by your veterinarian. These might include topical treatments, oral medications, or special collars designed to keep fleas and ticks at bay. Remember to check your furry friends for ticks after they’ve been outdoors, especially if they’ve been in wooded or grassy areas.

In your home, cleanliness can make a big difference. Vacuuming regularly helps pick up fleas, ticks, and their eggs from floors and furniture. Don’t forget to wash your pet’s bedding, your bedding, and any throw rugs in hot water to kill any pests that might be lurking.

Did you know that ticks can’t jump or fly? They wait on the tips of grasses and shrubs to grab onto passing hosts. When you’re outside, especially in areas where ticks might live, wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants. Tuck your pants into your socks to create a barrier against these pests. Using a tick repellent on your clothes can also provide an extra layer of protection.

For added peace of mind, consider having our Orkin Pros treat your property. Our targeted treatments can help control an existing problem and prevent new infestations from occurring.
