Flea & Tick Control

Rio Rancho Flea & Tick Control

Fleas and ticks are a major nuisance that can also pose serious health risks to your family and pets. These parasitic insects multiply rapidly, meaning a small problem can quickly become a major infestation if left untreated. Fleas can lay up to 50 eggs per day, meaning that within weeks, your home could play host to tens of thousands of these unwelcome guests. Ticks, in addition to rapidly reproducing, are known carriers of dangerous illnesses like Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. When you notice the first signs of fleas or ticks in or around your home or business, take action quickly and reach out to professionals right away to start mitigating the problem.

At ProActive Pest & Weed Control, we've been helping homeowners and local businesses tackle flea and tick infestations since 2011 with proven Integrated Pest Management techniques. Our team is fully insured and licensed, and we work with leading product manufacturers like Bayer and Syngenta to deliver effective treatments that utilize cutting-edge pest control products. We understand how stressful dealing with these obnoxious, jumping pests can be, which is why we offer free estimates to get you started on the path to relief.

Common Types of Fleas & Ticks in the Albuquerque Area

While both fleas and ticks are notorious for being blood-feeding parasites, they differ significantly in their behavior and life cycles. Fleas are incredibly agile insects that can jump up to 150 times their own body length, allowing them to move easily between hosts and throughout your home. They thrive in warm, humid environments and often hide in carpets, bedding, and upholstery.

Ticks are not actually insects, but rather are arachnids more closely related to spiders and mites. They cannot jump or fly, but instead wait on vegetation for a host to brush past them. Ticks feed for much longer periods than fleas, sometimes remaining attached for up to several days, which increases the risk of disease transmission.

We treat for many common species found throughout our area, including:

Cat fleas. Contrary to their name, cat fleas are the most common flea to impact both cats and dogs.
Human fleas. Human fleas have been known to bite humans, but they are actually most commonly found on wild foxes.
Brown dog ticks. These are hard to distinguish from other types of ticks normally, but when engorged they turn a greyish-blue color. On dogs, they are typically found between the toes or behind the ears.
Western black-legged ticks. Also known as “deer ticks,” these pests are typically less than 1/8 of an inch in length and usually hide in long grasses or shrubs, such as where a manicured lawn meets an untended fence line.

How We Treat for Fleas & Ticks

Our pest control approach to fleas and ticks is centered around Integrated Pest Management philosophies and techniques, which means we combine multiple strategies for a more holistic pest mitigation plan instead of continuously trying one thing at a time. This means a more comprehensive effort that eliminates more pests the first time around, creating faster and more sustainable long-term results.

Flea or tick treatment typically involves applying products to areas where fleas and ticks are most active, such as pet resting areas, carpets, baseboards, and outdoor locations where your pets spend time. We focus on interrupting the life cycle of these pests by addressing both adult parasites and their developing stages.

For commercial properties, we will develop customized treatment plans that minimize disruption to your business operations while effectively managing the infestation. Our team utilizes tested and proven products from trusted manufacturers like Bayer and Syngenta to implement solutions designed to reduce pest populations in your home or business.
