What Makes Fleas & Ticks Dangerous?
Fleas and ticks are more than irritating pests. Their bites can affect both people and pets, and some species are capable of transmitting disease.
- Tick-Borne Illnesses: Certain ticks can transmit diseases such as Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, ehrlichiosis, and other tick-borne illnesses.
- Flea-Borne Illnesses: Some fleas can transmit germs associated with illnesses such as flea-borne typhus and plague. Fleas can also play a role in spreading cat scratch disease and tapeworms.
- Skin Irritation and Allergies: Flea bites can cause itching and irritation, while some pets develop flea allergy dermatitis from sensitivity to flea saliva.
- Anemia in Pets: Heavy flea infestations can contribute to blood-loss anemia, particularly in puppies, kittens, and other young or vulnerable animals.
Where Do Fleas & Ticks Come From?
Ticks are commonly found outdoors in grassy, wooded, brushy, and landscaped areas where they wait for people or animals to pass nearby. Pets and wildlife can also carry ticks into yards and homes.
Fleas often enter a property on pets or wildlife such as rodents, raccoons, opossums, or other animals. Once fleas are introduced, eggs can fall into carpets, pet bedding, furniture, lawns, and other areas where the flea life cycle continues.
Treating only the pet may not address flea activity elsewhere on the property. Effective control may require addressing the pet, indoor environment, yard, or a combination of areas depending on where activity is occurring.
Rocket Pest Control can evaluate flea and tick activity around your home and recommend treatment based on the areas affected and conditions present.
Why Should You Get Professional Flea & Tick Control?
Flea and tick control can help reduce pest activity around your home and yard, especially when infestations extend beyond pets into bedding, furniture, landscaping, or other areas of the property.
- Reduce Exposure to Fleas and Ticks: Treating areas where these pests live and develop can help reduce encounters for people and pets.
- Address the Environment: Flea eggs and larvae may develop in carpets, pet bedding, furniture, lawns, and shaded outdoor areas. Professional treatment can target the property in addition to any pet-specific care recommended by your veterinarian.
- Manage Recurring Activity: Fleas have multiple life stages, while ticks may be introduced repeatedly by wildlife, pets, or outdoor activity. A targeted control plan can help address the areas supporting ongoing pest activity.
- Reduce Irritation and Allergens: Flea bites can cause itching and skin irritation, and some pets may develop flea allergy dermatitis.
- Protect Indoor and Outdoor Spaces: Professional inspection can help identify where flea or tick activity is concentrated and determine whether treatment is needed indoors, outdoors, or both.

What to Do If You Spot Fleas or Ticks
Finding fleas or ticks on your property can mean activity is occurring beyond the individual pest you see. The right next step depends on where the activity is found and whether people, pets, or outdoor areas are affected.
- Remove attached ticks carefully: If you find an attached tick, follow the proper removal steps. Learn how to remove a tick correctly.
- Check pets: If fleas or ticks are found on a pet, contact your veterinarian for guidance on appropriate pet-specific treatment and prevention.
- Clean affected indoor areas: Vacuum carpets, rugs, furniture, and pet resting areas, and wash pet bedding according to care instructions.
- Inspect the property: Fleas and ticks may also be present in lawns, shaded areas, landscaping, or other places frequently used by pets and wildlife.
- Consider professional treatment: Recurring flea or tick activity may require treatment of the home, yard, or both to address the areas where pests are living and developing.
