Fleas and ticks are more than just a nuisance; they’re potential carriers of diseases that can harm your pets and family. Whether it’s the itch of flea bites or the dangers of tick-borne illnesses like Lyme disease, these insects require proactive management. At Humphreys Insect Control, we offer comprehensive flea and tick control services to keep your home, yard, and pets safe.
Understanding the Flea and Tick Problem
Fleas and ticks thrive in warm and humid environments, which makes them particularly active during the spring and summer. Once they find a host—whether it’s your pet or a wild animal—they can quickly infest your property. Fleas reproduce rapidly, laying hundreds of eggs within a few days, while ticks latch onto their hosts, feeding for days and potentially transmitting harmful pathogens.
Signs of a Flea or Tick Infestation
Detecting fleas and ticks early is key to controlling their spread. Common signs include:
- Excessive Scratching: Pets that constantly scratch or bite their fur might be dealing with fleas.
- Flea Dirt: Small black specks (flea feces) visible on your pet’s skin or bedding.
- Tick Bites: Red, inflamed spots where ticks have attached.
- Visible Fleas or Ticks: Spotting live fleas or ticks on pets, carpets, or furniture is a clear indicator.
The Health Risks
Fleas and ticks carry serious health risks for both humans and pets. Fleas can transmit tapeworms and cause allergic reactions in pets, while ticks are known for spreading Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and other illnesses. Even a minor infestation can lead to significant discomfort and long-term health issues.
