Flea & Tick Control

Florida Flea Control

In Florida, flea control doesn’t just mean putting vet-recommended products on your dog or cat. Fleas and ticks are commonly found in the green areas around your home, and hiring professional tick and flea exterminators is important to successfully implement total tick and local flea extermination. Fleas and ticks live off of warm-blooded mammals and thrive in indoor environments. They can accidentally be picked up outside from walking through tall grass or trees, and in areas of the country with lots of greenery – such as Florida – flea and tick control means maintaining a short lawn and manicured bushes and shrubs.

The cat flea is the most common flea species in the United States and it attacks both cats and dogs. Adults are 1.5 mm long and are usually found on the host. Fleas have been known to carry disease and the harmful bite and stings make living with them impossible. If you find your cat harboring fleas, it is important to schedule one of PestBear’s flea exterminators immediately.

The brown dog tick is one of the most common pests for dogs. Adult dog ticks are 4.7 mm long and are uniformly reddish-brown. Ticks in all stages of their life cycle prefer to feed on dogs. This tick is prevalent in houses and kennels. Ticks are known carriers of disease and effective flea and tick control is essential for keeping you and your animals healthy.

Ticks and fleas have been unhealthy for people for thousands of years, but controlling them with flea and tick exterminators has only recently become an option. In the past, people believed rats were the original carriers of the bubonic plague, and only later realized that fleas and ticks were able to pass the virus from rats to other rats and rats to humans. But because flea and tick control wasn’t available, this plague killed approximately one third of the known population in Europe. In the last 20-30 years other diseases, such as Lyme disease, have become transferrable by these little bloodsuckers.

For a complete solution, it’s best to call a PestBear professional who is knowledgeable about pests in Florida. Flea exterminators with PestBear will typically spray the premises (interior and exterior) with a pesticide to kill existing ticks, fleas, and larvae.

Your Florida Tick Exterminators

For 25 years, PestBear has served as your Florida tick exterminators, and we’re ready to help you take back your lawn with professional tick and flea control. To prevent a tick population, PestBear will spray around the perimeter of your home starting near the house and working out into the lawn. For the most effective treatment, spraying on a recently cut lawn is recommended so the active pesticides can come in contact with the grass and dirt, and cover the tick population. It’s important to manage flea and tick control by scheduling local flea extermination as these pests can cause a number of diseases in humans and pets alike.
