Flea & Tick Control
How much does flea and tick treatment cost?
Flea treatments (interior and exterior) typically run $200–$260 with a 30-day re-treatment warranty, while tick service is seasonal (March–October) and starts around $85–$100 for the initial visit plus a recurring monthly treatment.
Overview
Fleas and ticks are two different problems that both usually trace back to pets, wildlife, or tall grass and brush near the home. We treat them differently: fleas get a targeted interior/exterior treatment with a warranty, while ticks are controlled with a recurring seasonal yard treatment.
Signs you may have fleas & ticks
- Pets scratching excessively or visible fleas in their fur
- Small, itchy bites on ankles and lower legs (fleas) or a slow-moving, embedded bite (ticks)
- Ticks found on pets or family members after time outdoors, especially near wooded or brushy areas
Risks if left untreated
- Ticks can transmit Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses to people and pets
- Flea infestations can spread quickly through carpet, bedding, and upholstery
- Both pests tend to keep breeding indoors and outdoors until the environment is treated, not just the pet
Our treatment process
- 1Flea treatment covers the interior and exterior of the home, targeting carpets, pet areas, and yard hiding spots, with a 30-day re-treatment warranty. If the weather is cold (average under 70°F), we focus the treatment indoors.
- 2Tick treatment is a recurring yard service from March through October, targeting the tall grass, brush, and shaded areas where ticks wait for a host.
- 3Choosing tick service also covers mosquitoes on the same visits, since both are seasonal yard treatments on the same schedule.
Prevention tips
- Keep grass mowed short and brush trimmed back, especially at the yard's edge
- Treat pets with a vet-recommended flea/tick preventive
- Wash pet bedding regularly and vacuum carpets and upholstery frequently during an active flea issue
- Discourage deer and stray animals from entering the yard, since they carry both pests in
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a credit card on file for tick treatment?
Yes — because tick (and mosquito) service runs on a recurring monthly schedule through the season, we require a card on file to keep visits on schedule without interruption.
If I have both fleas and ticks, do I need two separate services?
Fleas and ticks are priced and treated differently since fleas are usually an indoor/yard combination problem tied to pets, while ticks are a recurring outdoor seasonal service. We'll walk through your situation and recommend the right combination.
I'm already a recurring pest control customer — is flea treatment extra?
Yes, flea treatment is an add-on service for existing recurring customers at a reduced rate compared to a first-time flea treatment, since we're already servicing your property.
In the Tri-State area
Tick season across the Tri-State runs roughly March through October, peaking in late spring and early summer when ticks are most active in tall grass and wooded edges.
