Flea & Tick Treatment for Home and Yard

Protect your pets, your kids, and your peace of mind from biting pests that spread disease.

Fleas & Ticks

Fleas and ticks aren't just a pet problem. Once they're in your home or yard, they bite everyone. They spread Lyme disease, tapeworms, and bacterial infections. And they reproduce fast: one flea can become 1,000 in a month.

Why Fleas & Ticks Are a Problem

The risks go beyond the nuisance. Here's why fleas & ticks need to be dealt with fast.

  • Spread Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, tapeworms
  • Cause painful, itchy bites on humans and pets
  • Reproduce rapidly, and eggs hatch into new fleas within days
  • Live in carpet, furniture, baseboards, and yard grass
  • Flea allergy dermatitis is the #1 cause of pet skin problems

Signs You Have Fleas & Ticks

Know what to look for. Early detection means faster, cheaper treatment.

  • Pets scratching, biting, or licking excessively
  • Small bites around ankles, calves, or scalp
  • "Flea dirt" (black specks) in pet fur or bedding
  • Tiny jumping insects on carpet or furniture
  • Ticks attached to pets after being outdoors

How Bugstinct Treats Fleas & Ticks

A professional, thorough approach, not a surface-level spray.

  1. 1 Interior treatment of carpets, rugs, upholstered furniture, baseboards
  2. 2 IGR application to stop eggs and larvae from developing
  3. 3 Full yard treatment targeting shaded, moist areas where fleas/ticks live
  4. 4 Pet owner coordination (vet-recommended on-pet treatment timing)
  5. 5 Follow-up visit to catch newly-hatched fleas

Why DIY Fails

Flea sprays kill adults but don't touch eggs or larvae, which make up 95% of the population. Without an IGR and a full yard-plus-interior treatment, you're on an endless cycle. Professional treatment breaks the life cycle in one coordinated visit.
