Questions About Our Flea & Tick Control Service?
Fleas and ticks can be more than just a nuisance-they pose serious health risks to both pets and humans. At GroundSmith, we provide effective, targeted treatments to eliminate infestations and prevent future outbreaks. Below, we've answered some of the most common questions about our flea and tick control services to help you understand how we can protect your home and yard.
Our treatments target fleas and ticks at all life stages, eliminating adults, larvae, and eggs. We apply professional-grade sprays to key areas in your yard, creating a protective barrier that prevents future infestations.
Each application provides several weeks of protection, but for optimal results, we recommend a three-application seasonal program to keep fleas and ticks under control throughout the year.
Yes! Our treatments are safe when applied correctly. However, we recommend keeping pets and children off treated areas for at least 2 hours to allow the application to dry completely.
We focus on flea and tick hotspots, including:
- Lawns & grassy areas
- Shrubs, trees, and wooded areas
- Shaded, humid locations where pests hide
- Yard edges and pet-frequented areas
In addition to our treatments, you can reduce flea and tick populations by:
- Keeping grass trimmed and landscaping well-maintained.
- Removing leaf piles, tall weeds, and unnecessary debris.
- Regularly checking and treating pets for fleas and ticks.
- Eliminating moist, shaded areas where pests thrive.
While our treatments are specifically designed for fleas and ticks, they may also help reduce populations of other biting insects like mosquitoes.
Fleas and ticks become active as temperatures rise, so we recommend starting treatments in early spring and continuing through late fall for full-season protection.
