Fleas and Ticks
Worried about your four-legged friends? Hire us to kill fleas or ticks to safeguard your pets. If you’re not sure if you have fleas, try the white sock test. Put on long white socks and shuffle your feet on the carpet. If you see little dots jump on your socks, they are likely fleas.
Fleas and Ticks are attracted to vibrations. Run a vacuum cleaner. This will do several things at once: 1) it will attract the pests to the vacuum, making it easy to suck them up, 2) it will also pick up any eggs; and 3) it will lift up the fibers of your carpet, making it easier to apply our product down where these pests might be hiding.
Always be sure to have your furry friend treated and groomed while we are doing our treatments. Clean their beds regularly. These precautions will help keep fleas and ticks from jumping back and forth.
Fleas and Ticks: Effective Pest Control Solutions
At Branham's Exterminating, we understand that fleas and ticks are not just a nuisance but also pose serious health risks to both humans and pets. These pests can invade your home and yard, making it essential to take quick and effective action to control and eliminate them. Here, we outline the dangers of fleas and ticks, how to identify an infestation, and the services we provide to keep your home safe and pest-free.
The Dangers of Fleas and Ticks
Fleas and ticks are more than just irritating pests. They can transmit diseases and cause allergic reactions. Here are some of the risks associated with these pests:
- Fleas: Known for their itchy bites, fleas can cause allergic dermatitis in pets and humans. They also transmit tapeworms and, in rare cases, diseases like murine typhus.
- Ticks: Ticks are notorious for spreading Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and other illnesses. They latch onto hosts, including pets and humans, to feed on blood, potentially transmitting pathogens during the process.
Signs of a Flea or Tick Infestation
Early detection is key to preventing a full-blown infestation. Watch for these common signs:
- For Fleas:
- Pets excessively scratching, biting, or grooming.
- Small, red, itchy bites on your skin, often around ankles.
- Flea dirt (tiny black specks) in pet bedding or carpets.
- For Ticks:
- Finding ticks on pets after outdoor activities.
- Spotting ticks on clothing or in areas where pets rest.
- Small, hard bumps on pets' skin, which could be attached ticks.
