Ticks
Fleas and ticks are small parasites that feed on the blood of mammals. Although fleas don’t have wings, they do have extremely powerful hind legs and are able to jump as far as 13 feet. This ability allows them to easily move from host to host, and they can rapidly infest your pet and your home. Ticks don’t jump, but they often hide in tall grass and will latch onto you or your pets.
Once inside your home, both pests can multiply quickly and hide in several places, including carpeting, clothing, furniture, and small cracks in the walls. You may see fleas jumping on your pets or you may notice your pets frequently scratching or biting themselves. Ticks are usually harder to find, and it may be especially difficult to locate any if your pet’s hair is long or dark.
Both fleas and ticks can leave rashes or red welts on your body, and many people find that they have allergic reactions to flea and tick bites. In addition, both parasites are known to carry infectious diseases that can be harmful to humans and pets. In some cases, a red rash is a sign of Lyme disease.

The Three-Step SafeHome Approach
1. Inspection & Identification
During our initial contact, we will ask you a series of detailed questions that will help us better understand and get to the bottom of the problem(s) you're facing; then, we'll dispatch one of our certified technicians to the scene to inspect your property for any signs of pest infestation.
Your technician will thoroughly inspect the property based on the information provided. Knowing what type of pest you're up against is single-handedly the most important part of the process to pest control - you have to know what you're up against. Working with a professional who inspects for and identifies these problems for a living is a must.
Our technicians will tediously inspect your property to accurately identify and confirm the type, number, and location of the pest at hand.
2. Treatment & Eradication
Based on the information gathered from inspecting and identifying your pest problem, your technician will provide you with a cost-effective and efficient plan of attack.
Putting a program in place to take control of the situation is key to treating infestations and preventing future issues. Our technicians will work collabortively with all parties involved in order to plan and execute on an effective pest control program so that the issue can be eradicated once and for all.
The technician may suggest and use a number of tools/methods to eradicate and control your pest problem. From spraying the grounds to laying baits and traps... our team is geared to handle any pest control issue you're dealing with.
3. Monitoring & Prevention
After initially treating your home, our plan is to work with you to make sure you don't ever have the problem again. We can help you monitor and prevent future attacks in many different ways. From making recommendations on how to pest-proof your home, to setting up future monitoring schedules and methods.
