Flea Service (FS, AFS)

Fleas are best controlled at the source, your pet. At this time, we recommend Comfortis®. However, sometimes you may need a boost. We use two products to control fleas. Pyrethrin a natural product from Chrysanthemum flowers or Permethrin, a synthetic version, to kill the adults and larvae. And an IGR (Insect Growth Regulator, Methoprene) to prohibit the insects production of chitin. Chitin hardens the insects exoskeleton following molting, therefore prohibiting the metamorphosis of eggs to larvae and pupae to adult.

We offer 2 options to control fleas:

• (FS) Flea Service: A 90 day service, for a unique situation that has gotten out of control.
• (AFS) Annual Flea Service: 1 year service, for an ongoing problem that may require many treatments throughout the year. With this option you may call any time during the year and we’ll retreat at your request for no extra charge.

For best results, please prepare as follows:
Both treatments are surface treatments and require preparation by clearing all floors of loose items such as magazines, toys or other small articles. Be sure to do the same under beds and furniture. Vacuum the treatment areas, such as floors including tile, wood and carpet. Please include pet lounging areas of furniture, closets and anywhere your pet spends alot of time. Discard the vacuum bag. Turn off sources of air circulation like the AC and ceiling fans and unplug aquariums. The treatment area is to be vacated during treatment and do not reoccupy until dry (up to 2 hours). Ventilate upon return at your option. A treatment to the pet runs outside can be done at your request. Both treatments are guaranteed for the inside only.

Flea/Tick Service (FT, AFT)

Ticks are not very common in our area and are rarely from outside. Most often they are a result of pets traveling out of state or from a stay at a local kennel. Ticks are vectors of many diseases. Ticks climb walls and rest in cracks, crevices, behind pictures, ceilings, under and in your furniture, etc. The treatment products and procedure is the same as the flea services listed above except treatment is much more involved. Treatments are high and low, behind things, on legs and bottoms of couches, chairs, beds, etc. Additionally, ticks require more than one treatment, not sooner than once a week until eradication.
