How We Treat Flea and Tick Infestations 

Our Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach to flea and tick control combines inspection, targeted treatment, and preventative practices. 

Fleas thrive in shaded, humid areas and often hitch a ride on pets, while ticks prefer tall grass, weeds, and brushy areas. All of which are common in Finney County’s residential gardens and Edwards County’s mix of rural and suburban properties.

Our IPM approach begins with a detailed inspection of both the interior and exterior of your property. Indoors, we examine your carpets, pet bedding, furniture, and other areas where fleas may reproduce. Outdoors, we assess shaded yards, garden beds, and perimeter areas where ticks are most active. By mapping these hotspots, we can apply treatments precisely, minimizing chemical use while maximizing impact on the pests.

For fleas, we focus on breaking the life cycle. Treatments target larvae and adult fleas in areas where your pets frequent. For ticks, we manage vegetation, treat perimeter areas, and provide recommendations for minimizing wildlife activity that can introduce ticks to your property. 

This strategy recognizes seasonal fluctuations in this region. Flea activity peaks during late spring and summer, while ticks become more active in the cooler early spring months.

A critical component of IPM is prevention through habitat modification. We’ll give you guidance on reducing lawn moisture, trimming your vegetation, and managing leaf litter to make your property less hospitable to both fleas and ticks. For pet owners, we offer recommendations on routine treatments and inspections to protect both pets and humans from bites and potential disease transmission. 

This proactive combination of monitoring, habitat management, and targeted treatment reduces the likelihood of recurring infestations without relying solely on repeated chemical applications.

Ultimately, our goal is to empower you to take simple yet effective actions, such as maintaining yard boundaries, removing wildlife attractants, and scheduling regular pest inspections. A holistic IPM approach aligns with our commitment to environmentally responsible solutions while addressing the unique challenges posed by Western Kansas landscapes.
