Flea & Tick

Eco-Friendly Flea and Tick Management

Flea Pest Control

 

Lifecycle: Fleas undergo a complete metamorphosis, consisting of four stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. This cycle can take anywhere from a couple of weeks to several months, depending on environmental conditions.

 

Reproduction: Female fleas can lay up to 50 eggs per day, often directly on their host. These eggs then fall off into the environment, where they hatch into larvae.

 

Feeding Habits: Adult fleas feed on the blood of their hosts, which can include mammals like dogs, cats, and humans. Flea larvae, however, feed on organic debris found in their environment, including adult flea feces, which contain partially digested blood.

Flea Prevention in Carpets and Furniture

Habitat: Fleas prefer warm, humid environments and are commonly found in carpets, bedding, and areas frequented by pets.

 

Jumping Ability: Fleas are known for their remarkable jumping ability, which allows them to easily move between hosts and environments. They can jump up to 150 times their own body length.

 

Disease Transmission: Fleas can transmit various diseases and parasites, including the bubonic plague, typhus, and tapeworms, making them a significant concern for public health.

Tick Pest Control

 

Lifecycle: Ticks have a four-stage life cycle: egg, larva (six-legged), nymph (eight-legged), and adult (eight-legged). Most ticks need to feed on blood at each stage to progress to the next, which can take up to 3 years to complete.

 

Hosts: Ticks are parasitic and require a host to feed on for blood meals. They can attach to a variety of hosts, including mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians.

 

Feeding Process: Ticks use their mouthparts to attach to the skin of their host and can feed for several days. They secrete a substance that acts as cement, keeping them securely attached while they feed.

 

Flea & Tick Control

 

Habitat: Ticks are commonly found in wooded, grassy, or brushy areas. They wait on vegetation with their legs outstretched, ready to latch onto passing hosts, a behavior known as “questing.”

 

Disease Transmission: Ticks are vectors for several diseases, including Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and tick-borne encephalitis. They transmit pathogens to their hosts while feeding.

 

Survival: Ticks can survive for extended periods without a meal, making them resilient pests. Some species can live for several years without feeding.

Extremely professional always on time I recieve my invoice as soon as they are finished. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a new exterminator besides they use all natural chemicals.tshun harvintshun harvin ★★★★★ I bought a home that had a big roach issue in the kitchen and bathrooms. When I turned the lights on at night I would see a minimum of at least 6-7 roaches running away EVERY TIME. They came out educated us and recommended I do 2 treatments. He did the 1st treatment the same day as the consultation and no lie with in that same evening I saw a huge difference. They are going to do one more treatment in my home. They are affordable and I appreciate that they told me they will only sign me up for monthly maintenance if it is needed. I will definitely use this company again if needed.Update 4-23Shortly after the roaches was cleared I called them again because we started to hear noises in my attic. They came out around the holidays and instantly told me I had rats. They showed me all the evidence. They got rid of the rats in my home showed me where the entry points were sealed them up. With in 2 weeks we stopped hearing the rats. Fast forward to April I am still satisfied with their service. I’m still rat and roach free.Thelma ReidThelma Reid ★★★★★ They did a great job price was reasonableLitag LamaLitag Lama ★★★★★ We use these guys for general pest control maintenance. We do rodent boxes since we’re near the water, mosquito control and pest control inside and out. Alex is always on time and comes out between services if we find anything. When we first bought the house we had rats in our outside attic and he got all of them in a few days and now maintains traps throughout the home. It’s been about 6-8 months since then and we haven’t had any issues.We had orkin when the issue started and the guy came and dropped some traps and left and that was the end of it. Of course that didn’t help at all which is why we went looking for another company.Highly recommend these guys, request Alex!Nadia AlexandrovaNadia Alexandrova ★★★★★ Excellent job be Alexandro.Betti LidskyBetti Lidsky ★★★★★ Courteous on time - Explained his work & what results to expect -Tina concepcionTina concepcion ★★★★★ Friendly and effective!js_loader
