Fleas and ticks bite people and pets and can carry disease. O'Connor Pest Control treats inside and out to stop the cycle and keep your family, pets and customers protected.
Fleas and ticks are more than an itchy nuisance. Fleas multiply quickly in carpets, bedding and furniture, and their eggs and larvae can survive for weeks before hatching. Ticks wait in tall grass, brush and shaded areas of the yard, then latch onto people and pets passing by.
O'Connor Pest Control provides flea and tick control and prevention for homes, yards and commercial properties across Huntsville and Greater Houston. We treat both the indoor areas where fleas breed and the outdoor areas where fleas and ticks wait for a host, which is what breaks the cycle.
Flea and tick prevention is also part of our commercial work. Rodents and wildlife often bring fleas with them, so flea problems frequently show up alongside other pest issues, and we treat the whole picture.
Treating only the pet or only the house rarely works. We treat everywhere fleas and ticks spend their lives.
Flea eggs and larvae settle deep into carpets, rugs, upholstery and cracks in the floor.
Pet beds, kennels and favorite resting spots are hot spots for flea eggs and larvae.
Shaded areas, tall grass, brush and fence lines are where ticks and outdoor fleas wait for a host.
Rodents and wildlife can carry fleas onto a property, under decks and into attics and crawl spaces.
Fleas bite people as well as pets, leaving itchy red bumps, and pets can develop skin problems from repeated bites. Ticks are a bigger concern because they can carry diseases such as Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses.
Fleas are hard to beat on your own because the adults you see are only a small part of the population. Eggs, larvae and pupae hide in carpets, furniture and the yard and keep hatching after a quick treatment, so the problem comes right back.
Professional treatment of the home and the yard, combined with flea and tick prevention from your veterinarian for your pets, is the most reliable way to get ahead of an infestation and stay there.
Flea and tick service from O'Connor Pest Control includes:
Most of a flea population lives in the environment as eggs, larvae and pupae, not on the pet. Unless the home and yard are treated too, new fleas keep hatching and re-infesting your pet.
