Flea and Tick Control in Fort Worth, TX

On a Fort Worth ranch, the dogs work as hard as anyone. They run through pasture, sleep in the barn, and ride in the truck. Along the way they pick up fleas and ticks, and so do the barn cats, and it all ends up back at the house. Brooks Pest Solutions offers eco-friendly flea and tick pest control throughout Fort Worth, with same-day service when you call before noon.

We serve Fort Worth, TX and the surrounding communities with flea and tick treatment plans built around your home, barn, and the places your animals spend time.

Fleas and Ticks We Treat in Fort Worth

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 Fort Worth

Tall pasture grass is prime tick ground. Ticks wait on the grass and grab on to dogs, horses, cattle, and people as they pass.

Barn cats and working dogs move between the barn, the yard, and the house all day. Wildlife like raccoons and opossums come to barns for feed and bring fleas with them.

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 Fort Worth Homeowner Should Know

• Tall grass is where ticks wait. Pasture edges and fence lines carry the most risk.
• Barn cats and wildlife carry fleas. Feed rooms draw the animals that bring them.
• 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

Working dogs carry pests from the pasture to the porch. What they pick up outside comes home with them.

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
• Ticks on dogs or horses after time in the pasture
• Fleas on barn cats or in the tack room

If you notice any of these signs around your Fort Worth 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 Fort Worth property and find where fleas and ticks are building up, including carpets, pet resting spots, kennels, barns, and the yard around the house.

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 on Fort Worth properties 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.
