Why Ticks and Fleas Are a Year-Round Threat in Texas

While many people associate ticks and fleas with summer, Texas’ mild climate allows these pests to thrive year-round. Ticks can transmit dangerous diseases like Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever, while fleas cause irritating bites and can carry tapeworms that affect pets.

Signs of a Tick or Flea Infestation

It’s important to recognize the early signs of an infestation before it spreads. Here’s what to look for:

  • Excessive scratching in pets, especially around the ears, neck, and belly.

  • Small red bites on humans, typically around ankles or exposed skin.

  • Live fleas or flea dirt (tiny black specks) on pet fur or bedding.

  • Ticks attached to skin on pets or family members after outdoor activities.

  • Insect sightings in carpets, furniture, or outdoor shaded areas.

How to Prevent Ticks and Fleas at Home

Taking preventive measures can significantly reduce the risk of an infestation. Follow these steps to protect your home:

  1. Treat pets regularly: Use veterinarian-approved flea and tick preventatives.

  2. Maintain your yard: Keep grass trimmed, remove leaf litter, and clear brush where ticks and fleas hide.

  3. Wash bedding frequently: Clean pet bedding, rugs, and furniture covers regularly.

  4. Seal entry points: Prevent pests from coming inside by sealing cracks and gaps around doors and windows.

  5. Schedule professional pest control: Our flea and tick control services offer long-term protection against infestations.
