Fleas and ticks are more than just a nuisance—they carry diseases, cause painful bites, and can quickly infest your home and yard. These blood-feeding pests reproduce rapidly, making professional treatment the best way to eliminate infestations and prevent future problems.
At True Guard Pest & Wildlife, we provide effective, targeted flea and tick control solutions to protect your home, pets, and outdoor spaces from these pests.
Fleas and ticks are small and hard to spot, but their presence leaves clear warning signs:
✔ Pets Scratching Excessively – Fleas cause intense itching and irritation, leading to hair loss, redness, and discomfort in pets.
✔ Flea Dirt (Black Specks) on Fur or Bedding – Flea droppings look like tiny black flecks and turn red when wet.
✔ Tick Bites on Pets or Family Members – Ticks attach to skin and feed on blood, sometimes remaining attached for days.
✔ Small Red Bites on Ankles or Legs – Fleas tend to bite below the knee, causing itchy, red welts.
✔ Jumping Insects in Carpets or Furniture – Fleas leap long distances, so spotting them on rugs, pet bedding, or upholstery is a sign of an infestation.
Fleas and ticks spread rapidly, so early detection and treatment are crucial.
At True Guard Pest & Wildlife, we use safe, effective methods to eliminate fleas and ticks at all life stages, preventing reinfestation.
