Flea & Tick Control Port St Lucie, Fort Pierce & Nearby Cities

Not only do fleas and ticks target cats and dogs, but they also carry insect-borne diseases that affect humans too. That’s why keeping everyone in your home flea and tick free is super important. Therefore, in addition to putting your pets on flea and tick medicine, we also recommend that you treat your yard for these bloodsucking pests. Doing so will provide your family and beloved pets with an additional line of defense.

Our Unique Approach To Flea & Tick Control

Here at Hitman Pest Control, we take fleas and ticks very seriously. This service targets both bloodsuckers but takes a specialized approach to eliminate each. For fleas, we target grass on the outside and apply an aerosol or water-based product to the floor on the inside. For ticks, we target shrubs on the outside and apply a crack and crevice treatment on the inside. Learn more about what makes our approach so unique:

1. Initial Inspection

Before we begin, we will check your entire property (inside and out) for any signals of flea and tick activity. If we detect a problem, we will move forward with our flea and tick treatment. Two or three services space 2-3 weeks apart are usually required to give you the instant relief you need and the long-term protection you deserve.

2. Flea Treatment

Often, your pets acquire fleas outside, which can lead to a flea infestation inside your home. Therefore, we will start by treating your lawn with an insecticide and insect growth regulator to eliminate adult fleas and prevent future infestations from occurring.

Then we will apply an aerosol or liquid product on all floor surfaces, paying close attention to areas your pet spends its time. For example, if your cat or dog hangs out on your couch, we will treat it (after testing a small inconspicuous spot for staining).

3. Tick Treatment

Ticks do not jump or fly. Instead, they patiently wait for warm-blooded animals to pass by the shrubs, bushes, and tall grass they’re hiding on. Therefore we will target these areas with an insecticide to ensure ticks don’t hitch a ride on your children or pets.

Inside, we will apply a targeted treatment behind baseboards, around window sills and door frames, corners of ceilings, as well as any other areas frequently visited by your pets. This treatment drives ticks out of their hiding place and kills them on contact.
