Fleas and ticks usually ride in on wildlife. Deer, rabbits, raccoons, opossums, and feral cats crossing your yard drop flea eggs and ticks into the grass, and your pets carry them inside. A single female flea can lay up to 50 eggs a day, and the eggs, larvae, and pupae work deep into carpet and floor cracks. That is why home remedies keep failing.

What we do
Every job starts with an inspection. Fleas concentrate where your pets sleep and lounge: carpet, rugs, upholstered furniture, and pet bedding. Ticks wait outside in tall grass, brush, and greenbelt edges.
Finding both halves of the problem is what lets the treatment actually stick.
Our treatments are built to break the flea life cycle, not just knock down the adults you can see. Eggs, larvae, and pupae hide deep in carpet fibers and floor cracks, and missing them is how an infestation restarts a few weeks later.
Outside, we clear the tick harborage around your property, the brushy edges and tall grass where ticks wait for the next host, so your family and pets can use the yard in peace.
Why it matters
Fleas and ticks are more than itchy. Ticks can carry Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever, fleas can spread typhus, and a tick numbs the skin before it feeds, so plenty of people never notice the bite. If your household includes kids or outdoor pets, flea and tick prevention belongs on the year-round list.
Prevention runs through the yard, the pets, and the house together, so pair our treatment with the flea and tick prevention your veterinarian recommends. For more, see our flea and tick identification guide.

Neighbors first
Reliable, professional, punctual, friendly, worry-free service. My experience with them has never been anything less than that for several years now, and I have absolutely no reason to believe that will change for many years to come. I could not be happier with them.
We’ve had Accurate Pest Control service our property since 2008. They don’t try to sell us anything we don’t need. Our monthly service fee has been consistent and reasonable since 2008. It’s difficult to find a quality company in most home services, but you can count on Accurate Pest Control to take care of your property.
What a great company! I purchased an ant control plan that had a 1 yr warranty for our yard. One month later, new ant mounds in other parts of our yard. I called them and they came out and treated again at no charge. It’s been 2-3 months and no ants. They also treat my house and the chemicals they use aren’t harmful to animals.
I receive quarterly pest treatments and had them out for critters in the attic over the summer as well. Very friendly and helpful service! I felt safe with both men that came to help even though I was home alone. The price is competitive and fair. Would definitely recommend!

Because they reach the adult fleas and miss the eggs, larvae, and pupae hiding deep in carpet fibers and floor cracks. A female flea can lay up to 50 eggs a day, so anything that leaves the next generation alive just resets the clock.
Usually on wildlife. Deer, rabbits, raccoons, opossums, and feral cats passing through drop flea eggs and ticks into the grass and landscaping, where they wait for the next host, often your pet.
They can be. Ticks can carry Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and fleas can spread typhus. Because a tick numbs the skin before it feeds, many people never notice a bite until symptoms show up.
Yes. Prevention runs through the yard, the pets, and the house together. Talk to your veterinarian about flea and tick prevention for your pets while we handle the house and yard.
Keep grass mowed and brush cut back, especially along fence lines and greenbelt edges, and cut back on bird feeders and other things that draw wildlife close to the house, since visiting animals are the main way ticks arrive.
