Flea and Tick Control in Orlando, FL

In Orlando, the backyard is open for business all year, and pets are out there every day. So are fleas and ticks. With no real winter to slow them down, a flea problem here can start in any month. Brooks Pest Solutions offers eco-friendly flea and tick pest control throughout Orlando, with same-day service when you call before noon.

We serve Orlando, FL and the surrounding Central Florida area with flea and tick treatment plans built around your home, yard, and the places your pets spend time.

Fleas and Ticks We Treat in Orlando

These are the fleas and ticks most often found around homes here. Click a name to see what it looks like.

• Cat flea. This is the flea found on most dogs and cats. It is tiny, dark brown, and jumps. It is the flea behind almost all home flea problems.
• Brown dog tick. Reddish brown with no markings. It is the one tick that can live its whole life indoors, in homes and kennels.
• Lone star tick. The female has one white dot on her back. It is quick to bite people and pets.
• American dog tick. Brown with whitish markings on its back. It is found in tall grass and along trails.
• Gulf Coast tick. Found along the coast in grassy, open areas. It has silvery white lines on its back.

Not sure which tick you found? The Texas A&M tick identification guide and the CDC page on where ticks live can help.

Why Fleas and Ticks Are a Problem in Orlando

Central Florida is warm and humid nearly all year, which is just what fleas need. In colder states, winter gives pet owners a break. In Orlando, fleas keep breeding in shaded, sandy soil and in the home.

Wildlife adds to it. Raccoons, opossums, and stray cats pass through yards at night and leave fleas and ticks behind in the grass.

How Fleas and Ticks Get Into Your Home

Pets bring them inside after time in grassy or wooded areas. They can also ride in on clothes and shoes. Rodents and raccoons carry them too, so a wildlife or rodent problem can lead to a flea problem. See our rodent control page if you think that is part of it.

Flea and Tick Facts Every Orlando Homeowner Should Know

• Orlando has no off season for fleas. Warm, humid weather keeps them going all year.
• Shady, sandy spots in the yard hold fleas. Under decks, shrubs, and trees are the usual places.
• Most of a flea problem is not on the pet. Eggs, young fleas, and cocoons are in the carpet, pet bedding, and yard.
• Fleas multiply fast. One female flea can lay dozens of eggs a day.
• Flea cocoons can wait for months. They hatch when they feel movement or warmth, which is why fleas can show up in a home that sat empty.
• Ticks do not jump or fly. They wait on grass and brush and grab on when a person or pet walks by.

Why Getting Rid of Fleas and Ticks Matters

Year-round fleas need year-round care. A one-time treatment does not last in this weather.

Fleas and ticks can spread illness. They can pass on diseases such as flea-borne typhus and Lyme disease to people and pets.

Bites are itchy and painful. Flea bites show up as red, itchy bumps in groups, most often on the legs and feet.

Pets suffer most. Constant scratching, hair loss, and sore skin are common in pets with fleas.

A few fleas turn into many. Once fleas are in the carpet and furniture, they multiply fast.

Signs You Have a Flea or Tick Problem

• Red, itchy bumps in groups on your legs and feet
• A pet that will not stop scratching, licking, or biting its fur
• Ticks on your pet, your skin, or your clothes after being outside
• Fleas on pets even in the winter months
• Pets scratching after resting in shady spots in the yard

If you notice any of these signs around your Orlando home, our team can take a look during a flea and tick inspection and treatment visit.

How to Remove a Tick

Use tweezers to grab the tick close to the skin and pull with even, steady pressure. If you are worried about Lyme disease, save the tick so it can be tested.

Our Eco-Friendly Flea and Tick Control Process

Step 1: Full Inspection. We look over your Orlando property and find where fleas and ticks are building up, including carpets, pet resting spots, shaded parts of the yard, and under decks and shrubs.

Step 2: Eco-Friendly Treatment. We build a plan just for your home and treat the problem areas inside and outside. We ask that the home be tidy before the visit, and that people and pets stay out of treated areas for about an hour or until the product is dry.

Step 3: Simple Tips for Your Home. We share easy steps that help the treatment work, like vacuuming often, washing pet bedding, and keeping grass short. We treat the home and yard, not the pet, so ask your vet about flea and tick care for your animals.

Step 4: Ongoing Monthly or Bi-Monthly Service. Because fleas and ticks in Orlando stay active all year, most clients stay on a monthly or bi-monthly plan. This lets our team come back often and stop new fleas and ticks before they build up.
