Flea and Tick Control in Dallas, TX

Between dog parks, doggy daycares, and fenced backyards, Dallas pets meet a lot of other animals. That is great for them, but it is also how fleas and ticks get passed around. One trip can bring home a problem that lasts for months. Brooks Pest Solutions offers eco-friendly flea and tick pest control throughout Dallas, with same-day service when you call before noon.

We serve Dallas, TX and the surrounding DFW Metroplex with flea and tick treatment plans built around your home, yard, and the places your pets spend time.

Fleas and Ticks We Treat in Dallas

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.
• 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.
• Brown dog tick. Reddish brown with no markings. It is the one tick that can live its whole life indoors, in homes and kennels.

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 Dallas

Fleas and ticks spread where pets gather. Dog parks, boarding kennels, and daycares put many animals in one place, and the brown dog tick does well in kennels and homes.

In the Dallas heat, fleas move to shade. They build up under decks, along fence lines, and in the cool spots where dogs dig in to rest.

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 Dallas Homeowner Should Know

• Fleas and ticks spread where pets gather. Dog parks and kennels make it easy.
• In summer heat, fleas stay in the shade. Under decks and along fences are the usual spots.
• 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

Kennel ticks can move into the house. The brown dog tick can live and breed indoors.

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 or ticks on your dog after boarding or daycare
• Ticks crawling on walls or baseboards inside

If you notice any of these signs around your Dallas 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 Dallas property and find where fleas and ticks are building up, including carpets, pet resting spots, kennels, fence lines, and shaded parts of the yard.

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 Dallas are active for most of the 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.
