Flea and Tick Control

Fleas are tiny, irritating insects that don’t grow much larger than the tip of a pen. Their bites are itchy and sometimes painful. Getting rid of them is hard as they reproduce quickly, especially if you have pets in the household. But even if you don’t have pets, your yard can potentially play host to fleas and you may end up with a bunch of mysterious bites.
Ticks are small 8 legged insects that can range in size from as small as a pin head to as large as an pencil eraser. They are commonly found in grass, trees, brush, shrubs and leaf piles. They are attracted to people and animals. Tick bites can range from harmless to infectious.
