As the seasons change and temperatures rise, fleas and ticks begin to thrive—turning your backyard or home into a breeding ground for dangerous pests. While they may seem small, the threats they pose are anything but. These pests not only cause discomfort, but they also carry a wide range of diseases that can impact the health of your family and pets. At Humphreys Insect Control, we specialize in professional, reliable flea and tick control services to keep your home safe year-round.
A Threat You Can’t Ignore
Fleas and ticks are more than a seasonal annoyance—they’re a serious health risk.
For Your Family:
Ticks can transmit Lyme disease, anaplasmosis, and Rocky Mountain spotted fever—serious illnesses that may cause symptoms such as fever, fatigue, joint pain, and even neurological problems if left untreated. A tick bite can go unnoticed for hours or even days, increasing the risk of disease transmission. Fleas can spread murine typhus, cat scratch fever, and act as vectors for tapeworms in humans, particularly in children who play on floors or with infested pets. Some individuals may also suffer allergic reactions to flea bites, including intense itching, rashes, or secondary infections from scratching.
For Your Pets:
Fleas feed on the blood of animals, causing flea allergy dermatitis, excessive scratching, hair loss, and skin infections. In severe infestations, fleas can cause anemia—a potentially life-threatening condition for puppies, kittens, or smaller pets. Ticks can transmit canine ehrlichiosis, babesiosis, and tick paralysis, which may cause lameness, lethargy, and even organ failure if untreated. Pets may inadvertently bring these pests into the home, leading to a full-blown infestation that’s hard to eliminate without professional help.
