Most people think of fleas and ticks as a pet problem. But your dog or cat is picking them up somewhere, and that somewhere is usually your own backyard. Ticks wait in tall grass, leaf litter, and along the edges where your lawn meets wooded or brushy areas. Fleas breed in shaded, moist spots around the yard and hitch a ride inside on anything warm-blooded.
Our flea and tick treatments target the outdoor areas where these pests live and breed, reducing populations on your property so there are fewer of them to latch onto your family or your pets in the first place. This works alongside your pet's existing flea and tick prevention, not as a replacement for it.
Fleas and ticks don't hang out in the middle of a mowed lawn. They congregate in specific zones: the shaded edges of your property, leaf litter and ground cover, tall grass along fence lines, the border between your yard and any wooded or brushy areas, and under decks and porches where moisture collects.
We focus our treatment on those zones. The application kills active fleas and ticks on contact and leaves a residual barrier on the surfaces where they rest and travel. The result is a measurable reduction in the pest population across your yard.
Ticks become active in central Indiana as early as April when temperatures consistently hit 45 degrees, and they stay active through late fall. Fleas peak during the warmer summer months but can persist into October. We treat on a recurring schedule throughout the active season to maintain consistent population control.
Many of our customers bundle flea and tick treatments with mosquito control. Both services target overlapping areas of your property, and combining them gives you comprehensive outdoor pest protection from spring through fall.
Every yard in Hamilton County has some tick and flea exposure. But if your property backs up to woods, borders a creek or drainage area, sits near open fields, or has significant tree cover, your exposure is much higher. Properties in Fortville, McCordsville, and CiceroGeist tend to have the heaviest tick pressure because of the rural surroundings, but we treat properties across Noblesville, Carmel, Westfield, and Fishers as well.
This service is especially popular with families who have young kids playing in the yard, dog owners who let their pets spend time outside, and anyone who's already had the unpleasant experience of finding a tick on themselves or a family member.
We apply a targeted treatment to the areas where fleas and ticks live and breed: tall grass, leaf litter, shaded landscape beds, fence lines, tree lines, and the edges where your lawn meets wooded or brushy areas. The treatment kills active pests on contact and creates a residual barrier that keeps working between visits.
Ticks become active as early as April when temperatures consistently reach 45 degrees, and they stay active through late fall. Peak activity runs from April through September. Fleas peak during the warmer summer months but can remain active into October.
Yes. Once the treatment dries, typically within 30 minutes to an hour, pets and children can return to the treated areas. This is an outdoor yard treatment that reduces the flea and tick population on your property. It works alongside your pet's existing flea and tick prevention, not as a replacement for it.
Yes. Our mosquito control treatments target many of the same areas and can be applied alongside your flea and tick service. Bundling both gives you comprehensive outdoor pest protection from spring through fall.
Yes. Properties that border wooded or brushy areas have the highest tick exposure, and they're exactly where treatment makes the biggest difference. We focus on the transition zones between your maintained lawn and the wooded edge, which is where ticks concentrate while waiting for a host to walk by. We can't treat the entire forest, but we can create a treated buffer zone around the areas where your family actually spends time.
