Do I Have a Flea or Tick Invasion?
Fleas and ticks aren’t just irritating; they’re persistent pests that can settle into your home or yard before you realize there’s a problem. Catching the signs early can help prevent a minor issue from becoming unmanageable.
Watch for these common indicators of flea and tick issues:
- Excessive scratching from pets. This is often the first and most noticeable sign of fleas. Pets may seem restless, frequently scratching, licking, or biting at their skin and fur.
- Visible flea "dirt." These tiny, dark specks resemble black pepper and are actually flea droppings. You might find them in your pet’s fur and bedding, or on furniture and carpets where your pet spends time.
- Live fleas in the home or on pets. Adult fleas are small, reddish-brown insects that move quickly. You may see them jumping onto your socks or hiding deep in your pet’s coat.
- Ticks found on pets or family members. Check pets, children, and yourself for ticks after spending time in wooded areas or tall grass. Focus on areas like the scalp, behind the ears, and under the arms.
- Unexplained bites. Flea bites on humans usually appear as small, red bumps in clusters, often around the ankles and lower legs. Tick bites tend to be single bumps.
Fleas reproduce quickly, so just a few brought in by a pet can multiply into thousands. On the other hand, ticks are usually picked up outdoors and attach themselves to a host as it passes.

Keeping Fleas & Ticks Out of Your Home
Fleas and ticks can be persistent, but with the proper steps, you can make your home and yard far less welcoming to them. A consistent routine that combines outdoor upkeep with indoor cleanliness helps interrupt their life cycle and lowers the chances of an infestation.
In your yard, small changes can have a significant impact, such as:
- Mow regularly. Keeping grass short reduces shady, humid areas where fleas and ticks thrive.
- Trim overgrowth. Cut back bushes and shrubs to limit hiding spots.
- Clear debris. Remove piles of leaves, grass clippings, and other yard waste where pests can breed.
- Create a barrier. A strip of wood chips or gravel between your lawn and wooded areas can help limit tick movement into your yard.
Inside your home, cleanliness is key:
- Vacuum often. Focus on carpets, rugs, and furniture, especially spots where pets sleep.
- Dispose of vacuum contents. Empty the canister or bag into an outdoor trash bin immediately after vacuuming to avoid reintroducing pests.
- Wash pet bedding weekly. Use hot water to kill any fleas or eggs that may be present.
- Use year-round preventatives. Work with your veterinarian to keep pets protected throughout the seasons.
