Flea and Tick Control in Midlothian

Fleas and ticks can quickly turn from a small nuisance into a major concern for your family, pets, or business. These pests are not only irritating, but they can also carry diseases and spread quickly if not controlled right away. In Midlothian, the mix of wooded areas, open yards, and pet-friendly neighborhoods creates an environment where fleas and ticks can thrive. Protecting your household or commercial property from these pests often requires professional knowledge and a proactive approach.

Common Fleas and Ticks We Treat

Not all fleas and ticks are the same, and understanding the types that infest properties in North Texas helps us deliver targeted treatments that work. 

We frequently address infestations that include: 

• Cat fleas. Despite the name, cat fleas feed on dogs, cats, and often humans as well. They are the most common flea found inside homes in Midlothian and across North Texas. 
• Dog fleas. Though less common than cat fleas, dog fleas can infest your yard and interior. Left untreated, they spread quickly among pets and people, creating ongoing discomfort.
• Human fleas. These are rare in modern homes but can still cause painful bites. They may need specialized control methods to deal with them thoroughly.
• Black-legged ticks. Also known as deer ticks, these thrive in the wooded and grassy areas common throughout Ellis County and beyond. They are notable carriers of Lyme disease, making early intervention critical.
• American dog ticks. Found in open fields, scrubland, and along trails, these ticks can spread Rocky Mountain spotted fever. Their presence around the rural and suburban properties of North Texas is a risk for both pets and human beings. 
• Brown dog ticks. Unique among tick species, brown dog ticks can complete their entire lifecycle indoors. This makes them especially concerning for homes and kennels if they go untreated.

By designing treatments for the specific pest species and environment, we facilitate both immediate relief and long-term prevention. And because fleas and ticks reproduce quickly, we prioritize fast response times, including emergency services when needed.
