Flea & Tick Control

Fleas and ticks thrive in North Carolina's warm, humid climate and can pose serious health risks to your family and pets. Our flea and tick control program targets these pests in your yard where they live and breed — in tall grass, leaf litter, shaded areas, and along property edges. Regular treatments create a protective barrier that significantly reduces flea and tick populations on your property.

Fleas and ticks thrive in North Carolina's warm, humid climate, posing health risks to both people and pets. Ticks in our region carry Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and ehrlichiosis, while fleas can transmit tapeworms and cause severe allergic reactions. These pests are most active from spring through fall, but mild North Carolina winters mean they can remain a problem year-round in sheltered areas of your yard.

Our flea and tick control program targets the outdoor areas where these pests live and breed — shaded lawn areas, leaf litter, mulch beds, tall grass along fence lines, and the transition zones between your lawn and wooded areas. We apply a residual treatment that continues working for three to four weeks after application, killing fleas and ticks on contact as they move through treated areas. Treatments are scheduled every three to four weeks during peak season to maintain continuous protection.

For the best results, we coordinate our outdoor treatments with your veterinarian's recommended flea and tick prevention for your pets. Treating the yard eliminates the source of reinfestation, while pet treatments protect your animals from any pests they encounter away from home. We also provide recommendations for reducing tick habitat on your property, such as maintaining a three-foot gravel or mulch barrier between your lawn and wooded areas — a practice recommended by the CDC for tick-prone regions like central North Carolina.
