FLEA AND TICK CONTROL IN GREATER MESA & PHOENIX
.webp)
Fleas and ticks can be transmitted to your pet in many ways. Being around other pets, the dog park, or even in their own backyard after a rabbit, small rodent, or feral cat has wandered through can give these unpleasant pests access to your pets. It’s not unknown for visitors to bring in pests which may be clinging to their pant legs, shoes, or socks.
The entire home should be treated once the presence of fleas or ticks has been verified. This treatment includes carpets and rugs. Your pet will have to be treated, as well, so we recommend using a medicated shampoo so fleas and ticks won’t reinfest the home following treatment.
What are ticks?
A tick is a small, blood-sucking parasite that lives in grass, leaves, and other damp areas until it can attach itself to a warm-blooded host. Once it climbs onto a victim, it finds a warm niche to hide. Once they crawl onto a pet, they will attach themselves beneath the collar, between the toes, under the tail or front legs, or at the elbows. In other words--check the ‘corners’ and tucked away spots. A human host will find them beneath the armpits or in the groin area.
Once the tick finds a spot where it can hunker down in relative privacy, it will bite and attach itself to the host, where it will continue to live, still attached, to feed and grow for the next ten days. At first, the tick may be impossible to see, but as it grows, it becomes noticeable. Most people have no symptoms, but those who are allergic can have pain, burning, swelling, and, in more severe cases, difficulty breathing. Ticks can also transmit Lyme disease, but that will typically have a larger area of swelling, up to six inches.
control them?
Fleas and ticks multiply rapidly and can with a number of pathogens. While Treatment is a threefold process. The animal has to be treated for fleas and ticks, and measures taken to control picking up more hitchhikers. The home needs to be cleaned thoroughly, including bedding, carpets, rugs, flooring, and other places where eggs might be lurking or hatching. The outdoor area also needs to be treated to prevent another wave of infestation following the treatment of the first one. We don’t treat your pet or clean, but we can control these pests. Working together is the only way to control fleas and ticks, which can’t be reigned in merely by killing the adult population, as the eggs and larvae also need to be treated.
