Fleas & Ticks – Tiny Pests with Big Consequences for Families & Pets

Know the Threat: Fleas & Ticks in Florida

Fleas and ticks aren’t just annoying — they’re dangerous disease carriers that affect both pets and people. In Florida’s warm, humid climate, flea and tick populations thrive year-round, especially in shaded yards, under decks, and inside homes where pets live.

What Makes Them Problematic?
– “Fleas” lay up to 50 eggs per day and reproduce rapidly.
– “Ticks” carry serious diseases like Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and ehrlichiosis.
– Ticks latch onto pets, children, and adults without notice — some species can survive for months without feeding.
– Fleas can infest carpets, furniture, and bedding, making elimination difficult without professional help.

RexPest’s Proven Approach to Flea & Tick Control:
– Targeted yard treatments in shady areas, under shrubs, and around pet zones.
– Indoor application of insect growth regulators (IGRs) to break the flea life cycle.
– Safe treatments for pet bedding, baseboards, and furniture.
– Tick treatments for wooded areas, fences, and outdoor furniture.

Real-World Cases We’ve Handled:
1. A Spring Hill family with two dogs discovered fleas in every room — even the car. We treated their home, car, and outdoor patio area to stop the infestation.
2. A Brooksville customer found ticks inside their child’s bedroom — tracked in by pets after hiking in nearby woods. We performed both yard and home exclusion treatments.
3. A Trinity family couldn’t figure out their itching issue — until our team found hundreds of flea eggs under the living room rug.

Fun Facts & Trivia:
– A flea can jump over 150 times its body length.
– Ticks can detect a host’s breath and body heat from over 30 feet away.
– Ticks aren’t insects — they’re arachnids, like spiders.

Homeowner Prevention Tips:
– Bathe and treat pets regularly with vet-approved flea/tick prevention.
– Vacuum rugs, pet beds, and furniture frequently.
– Mow lawns and remove yard debris that shelters pests.
– Inspect pets after walks, especially around ears and neck.

Common Treatment Hurdles:
– DIY sprays may kill adults but won’t stop eggs from hatching.
– Many treatments miss shaded areas and flea breeding zones.
– Customers often stop treatment too soon, allowing re-infestation.
