Signs of Fleas and Ticks Presence
01 Excessive Scratching, Licking or Biting at Skin:
This is one of the first signs of a flea or tick infestation. Pets may behave differently due to the discomfort caused by these pests.
02 Flea Dirt:
Flea dirt, or flea feces, looks like dark specks of pepper scattered on the skin of your pet. You can differentiate it from normal dirt by placing the specks on a white piece of paper and adding a drop of water. If it turns a reddish-brown, it's flea dirt.
03 Visible Sightings of Pests:
Fleas are tiny, but with a keen eye, you can spot them jumping on your pet's fur or on areas where your pet frequently spends time. Ticks tend to burrow into your pet's skin, and their bodies swell as they feed.
04 Unusual Red Patches on Pets' Skin:
Flea and tick bites can lead to skin irritations resulting in red patches or bumps.
05 Tick Bite Symptoms in Humans:
Ticks can also bite humans. Look for redness, rash, burning sensation at the bite site, or a stiff neck and fever.
06 Flea Eggs:
Flea eggs are tiny white specks that are usually found in clusters. They might be scattered in places where your pet rests or sleeps.
Types of Fleas and Ticks We Can Exterminate
- Cat Fleas (Ctenocephalides felis): Cat fleas are a common nuisance for both pets and homeowners, feeding on the blood of cats, dogs, and humans. Despite their name, they are not exclusive to cats and are the most common flea species found in homes.
- Dog Fleas (Ctenocephalides canis): While less common than cat fleas, dog fleas can also infest homes and feed on the blood of dogs, cats, and humans.
- Human Fleas (Pulex irritans): While quite rare, human fleas can infest homes and bite humans, causing irritation and discomfort.
- Black-legged Ticks (Ixodes scapularis): Also known as deer ticks, these are known carriers of Lyme disease and are found in wooded, grassy areas.
- American Dog Ticks (Dermacentor variabilis): These ticks are found in areas with little or no tree cover, such as grassy fields and scrubland, and can transmit diseases such as Rocky Mountain spotted fever.
- Brown Dog Ticks (Rhipicephalus sanguineus): As the name suggests, these ticks feed on dogs but can also bite humans and transmit diseases. Unlike other tick species, they can complete their entire lifecycle indoors.
Where Do Fleas and Ticks Come From
Fleas and ticks are cunning creatures that have adapted to thrive in various environments. These pests primarily come from wildlife and infested pets, finding their way into your property when you least expect it. Fleas often lay their eggs in hidden areas, such as your pet's fur or even within your lawn. Once these flea eggs hatch, new fleas emerge to infest your house, leading to a significant pest problem.
Similarly, ticks lurk in tall grasses, shrubs, and wooded areas, patiently waiting to latch onto a potential host. Your pets, or even you, can unknowingly bring ticks home, creating an infestation. In Midlothian, TX, and other cities across Texas, tick control has become a necessity due to the increasing health problems associated with tick bites.
Our Pest Control Methods for Fleas and Ticks
- Use of Integrated Pest Management (IPM): At Tom Samples Pest Control, we apply the IPM approach, which combines biological, cultural, physical, and chemical tools in a way that minimizes health, environmental, and financial risks.
- Biological Control Methods: These involve the use of natural enemies of pests like predators, parasites, and pathogens. Biological control is often used in conjunction with other pest control methods for a more effective solution.
- Chemical Control: We use safe and environment-friendly pesticides to control the population of fleas, ticks, and other pests. Our professional technicians are trained to apply these treatments in a way that is most effective and least disruptive to your daily routine.
- Physical Controls: This can include methods like trapping and the use of heat or cold. For instance, to control the population of flea eggs and adult fleas, we may recommend specific physical methods.
- Cultural Control: This involves changing the environment, conditions, or habitat to make it less conducive for the pests. This could involve recommendations about lawn care to prevent tick infestations.
- Mechanical Control: This can involve the use of various devices or equipment to manage pest populations. It can be particularly useful in dealing with larger pests.
