Fleas and ticks are more than just a nuisance—they pose significant risks to your family, pets, and home. At US Pest Control, we offer comprehensive flea and tick control solutions for Richmond, VA, and Henrico, VA, designed to eliminate infestations and prevent future problems. Using a combination of exterior lawn treatments and interior aerosol and vacuuming services, we ensure long-term control by targeting both adult pests and their eggs.

Understanding Fleas and Their Habitat

Fleas are small, wingless parasites that feed on the blood of humans, pets, and wildlife. They can reproduce rapidly, making an infestation challenging to control without professional intervention. Here's what you need to know:

What Are Fleas Attracted To?

• Warm-Blooded Hosts: Fleas are drawn to mammals, especially pets like dogs and cats, for their blood meals.
• Warm, Humid Environments: Fleas thrive in warm climates and areas with high humidity, making Richmond and Henrico ideal environments.
• Shaded Outdoor Spaces: Fleas often inhabit shady areas in lawns, under decks, and near pet resting spots.

Where Do Fleas Hide?

• Outdoors: Fleas live in grass, soil, and shaded areas where pets or wildlife frequent.
• Indoors: Fleas can infest carpets, upholstery, pet bedding, and cracks in flooring. Once inside, they lay eggs that quickly spread the infestation.

How We Control Fleas

Our flea control services use a multi-step approach to eliminate fleas at every stage of their lifecycle:

1. Exterior Lawn Treatments:

• We treat your lawn and outdoor areas with professional-grade products to eliminate adult fleas and ticks in their natural habitat.
• By targeting high-risk zones like shaded areas, pet resting spots, and garden edges, we reduce the chance of fleas re-entering your home.

1. Interior Aerosol Treatments:

• We use specialized aerosols to treat carpets, furniture, and other flea-prone areas inside your home. These products penetrate deep into fibers to kill adult fleas and prevent eggs from hatching.

1. Vacuuming Services:

• If the property is vacant our technicians thoroughly vacuum infested areas to remove fleas, eggs, and larvae. This physical removal disrupts the flea lifecycle and enhances the effectiveness of aerosol treatments.
• Vacuuming is essential for eliminating flea eggs, which can hatch into larvae and re-establish the infestation if left untreated.

Understanding Ticks and Their Habitat

Ticks are blood-sucking parasites that attach to humans and animals, often spreading dangerous diseases such as Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. Here’s what attracts ticks and where they hide:

What Attracts Ticks?

• Moisture and Shade: Ticks prefer damp, shaded areas like wooded edges, overgrown grass, and leaf litter.
• Hosts: Ticks latch onto passing animals or humans, making homes with pets or nearby wildlife at higher risk.

Where Do Ticks Hide?

• Outdoors: Ticks wait in tall grass, shrubs, and wooded areas to attach to their next host.
• Indoors: Although less common, ticks can hitch a ride indoors on pets or clothing.

How We Control Ticks

We focus on eliminating ticks from outdoor areas while minimizing their access to your home:

1. Exterior Lawn Treatments:

• Our technicians apply professional-grade tick control products to your yard, targeting high-risk areas such as tall grass, garden beds, and shaded spaces.
• These treatments create a barrier around your property to keep ticks away.

1. Prevention Tips:

• We recommend keeping your lawn trimmed and removing leaf litter or debris to reduce tick hiding spots.
