Fleas and Ticks: Fleas are common pests that are most often associated with animals. Although there are numerous household products on the market, these treatments do not last long enough to be effective. To effectively eradicate your flea problem, professional help is needed. We will apply a long-lasting treatment to kill the hatchlings and eggs.

Fleas multiply quickly and can carry disease. It’s best to deal with an infestation as quickly as possible. Fleas, ticks, and bedbugs shelter in the crevices, nooks, and crannies found in homes. When you see the first insect in your central Texas home, call us to perform an effective and pet-friendly flea treatment.

One of our team members will apply a combination of two long-residual pesticides and an insect growth hormone to cracks and crevices, carpets, areas where pets rest, and other places bugs like to hide, both inside your home and in your yard. Our treatment effectively kills the adult biting fleas and prevents eggs and pupa from developing into adults. We will discuss the customized treatment plan with you since your cooperation and assistance is needed to obtain successful extermination of these pests.

Before and After Treatment Tips

1. Vacuum rugs, carpets and furniture – especially between and under cushions. Then seal and dispose of the vacuum bag in an outside receptacle.
2. Clean and clear all floors, even closet floors. Mop tile and vinyl floors. Sweep concrete floors.
3. Remove decorative items, pillows, pet food, water dishes and children’s toys from under beds and furniture.
4. Remove pets.
5. Wash or dispose of pet bedding. If laundering, wash pet bedding separately from other linens.
6. Mow your lawn and ensure everything on the ground outside has been removed.
7. Show our pest control expert where your pets sleep, rest and eat.
8. Resume normal vacuuming 24 hours after your home has been treated to give the insecticide time to work.

It’s normal to see some adult fleas for up to three weeks after the treatment. Don’t be alarmed. Flea pupae are protected from insecticides by their cocoons, emerging as adults in one to three weeks. Once exposed to the insecticide residual, they will be eliminated. Continue vacuuming daily for two to three weeks.
