Fleas and ticks may be small, but they pose a serious threat to the health and comfort of your beloved pets—and to your household. These tiny parasites can quickly multiply, feed on your pets’ blood, cause allergic reactions, and even transmit harmful diseases. For both pet owners and property owners, prevention and fast response are critical.
At EcoSmart Pest Solutions, we offer pet-safe, eco-conscious flea and tick control that goes beyond store-bought sprays. Our expert team helps protect your cats and dogs from discomfort while safeguarding your home against infestation. Whether you're a homeowner or a business catering to pets, our professional treatments are designed for long-lasting results with your animal’s safety in mind.
Why Flea and Tick Control Matters
Many people associate fleas and ticks with minor itching, but these parasites can cause severe health problems if left untreated.
Fleas can:
- Trigger allergic dermatitis
- Cause intense scratching and hair loss
- Transmit tapeworms when ingested
- Infest your home quickly—females lay 40–50 eggs per day
Ticks can:
- Cause Lyme disease and ehrlichiosis
- Lead to anemia in small pets
- Infect humans through pets as carriers
Pets can’t protect themselves, but you can—with fast, proactive solutions that target parasites at every stage of their life cycle.
Signs Your Pet Has Fleas or Ticks
Early detection makes treatment more effective and prevents infestation from spreading. Here’s what to watch for:
In Dogs and Cats:
- Persistent scratching or biting
- Red, irritated patches of skin
- Hair loss, especially around the tail or ears
- Tiny black specks (flea dirt) in fur or on bedding
- Visible ticks near ears, neck, or paws
If you notice any of these signs, contact a vet—and consider scheduling a home pest inspection to prevent further spread. EcoSmart Pest Solutions can help evaluate your environment and recommend a custom treatment plan.
DIY vs. Professional Flea and Tick Treatments
Many pet owners turn to over-the-counter collars, shampoos, or sprays, but these methods may only offer temporary relief. Most DIY options target adult fleas and ticks but fail to address the eggs, larvae, and pupae in your carpets, baseboards, or yard.
Limitations of DIY Products:
- Don’t treat the environment (where most flea eggs live)
- May not eliminate ticks effectively
- Require constant reapplication
- Risk of misuse leading to pet health concerns
Benefits of Professional Treatment:
- Targets all life stages of parasites
- Safe for pets and children when applied correctly
- Custom plans for indoor and outdoor environments
- Long-term prevention strategies

Tips for Flea and Tick Prevention
Even after professional treatment, routine prevention is essential for your pet’s health. Here are our top tips to keep your space flea- and tick-free:
- Groom regularly: Brush and bathe pets to spot parasites early.
- Vacuum frequently: Focus on furniture, rugs, and baseboards.
- Wash pet bedding: Use hot water weekly to kill eggs and larvae.
- Keep grass trimmed: Fleas and ticks thrive in tall grass and shaded areas.
- Use vet-recommended preventatives: Collars, pills, or topicals work best when combined with home treatments.
Combining these habits with expert pest control ensures comprehensive protection for your pets and your home.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my dog or cat has fleas?
Pets with fleas often scratch excessively, especially near the base of the tail or belly. You may also see flea dirt (black specks) or the fleas themselves moving through your pet’s coat.
Are professional flea and tick treatments safe for pets?
Yes. At EcoSmart Pest Solutions, we use formulas that are safe for cats, dogs, and children when applied correctly. Our trained technicians ensure proper application for maximum safety and effectiveness.
How often should I treat my home for fleas and ticks?
We recommend quarterly treatments or more frequent visits during peak flea and tick seasons (spring and summer). Your technician can customize a plan based on your needs.
Do fleas and ticks live indoors?
Yes, especially fleas. They lay eggs in carpets, furniture, and bedding. Without professional treatment, these pests can thrive inside even if you don’t see them right away.
Can I get sick from fleas or ticks on my pet?
Absolutely. Ticks can transmit Lyme disease, while fleas may cause allergic reactions or spread tapeworms. Protecting your pet helps protect your entire household.
What if my pets are mostly indoors?
Even indoor pets are at risk. Fleas and ticks can hitchhike inside on clothing, shoes, or other animals. It’s important to maintain preventive measures year-round.
Should I treat my yard for ticks and fleas?
Yes. Outdoor treatments significantly reduce the risk of reinfestation. Our eco-friendly solutions are safe for pets and effective against pests in grass, mulch, and landscaping.
Can fleas live in furniture?
Yes, flea eggs and larvae often hide in upholstery, cushions, and carpet fibers. Our treatments target these hiding spots for complete control.
How soon after treatment can pets return indoors?
Typically, pets can return indoors once the treatment dries—usually within a few hours. We’ll give you specific instructions based on the products used.
