At ATCO, our mission is to protect your family while also protecting our environment. For us, this means providing eco-friendly flea and tick control to our community. Our exterminators are highly certified and trained in IPM and EcoWise pest management techniques, meaning we always do what’s best for you and your specific situation. Our dedication to you and the environment is how we became Diamond-certified in 2009—one of only two Diamond-certified local pest control companies!

Not only do we provide a service that’s safe for your family and the environment, but both of our flea and tick control services come with guarantees that we can eliminate your infestations once and for all.

Our flea and tick control includes:

• An inspection completed by one of the best exterminators in California.
• Custom treatment plans created with your goals in mind.
• Interior and exterior treatments for complete coverage.
• Eco-friendly treatment options.
• Steam eradication for fleas.
• Flea monitoring post-treatment.
• On-going maintenance services.
• Free callbacks if necessary.

Most often, ticks establish themselves around your home by riding in on deer passing through your yard. These bloodsucking pests set up in shady areas, waiting for passing victims to grab onto. They’re generally about the size of an apple seed, but they’ll look larger if they’ve recently fed. Because ticks carry Lyme Disease, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, and many other dangerous illnesses, you don’t want to risk having them bite you or your loved ones. If you’re seeing significant numbers of ticks in your yard, ATCO offers tick control that can eliminate these aggravating insects safely and effectively. We will utilize eco-friendly treatments to reduce tick populations, and then offer landscaping suggestions to deter wildlife from entering your property and bringing ticks with them, solving your tick problem for good!

Fleas are an aggravating nuisance to deal with in or around your home. About the size of a pencil tip, they’re dark red or brown in color, so one can normally tell if a pest is a flea. Capable of hitching a ride onto your property on deer, skunks, opossums, and other wildlife, they can easily infect your pets and make their way inside your house. Treating your furry friends with pet-safe flea treatments is the first step in protecting your home. If you’re still having issues, though, it’s possible flea-infected wildlife may be living underneath your house, which can require exclusionary work. Fleas can also latch onto clothing as you walk through your yard, making their way inside your home and laying eggs in your carpet once they do.

No matter what the cause of your flea infestation, ATCO has the solutions you need to set the problem right. When you partner with us for flea control, you can expect the following:

• Eco-friendly products and options for steam treatments.
• Interior and exterior treatments.
• Ongoing services and monitoring.
• Recommendations for pet treatments.
• Suggestions for landscaping changes to prevent fleas.

As much as we love the outdoors, it’s impossible to avoid the possibility of fleas and ticks latching on to you or your furry friends. There are ways to limit the possibility, though! Here are a few flea and tick prevention tips:

• Hike on well-marked trails; try to avoid dense foliage.
• Wear light-colored clothes, long pants, and sleeves if applicable.
• Do your best to keep your dog on a leash when hiking or performing other outdoor activities with tall grass or dense foliage.
• Be sure to check your clothes and body when returning from hikes and other outdoor activities.
• Keep tall grasses, other large weeds, and foliage around your home trimmed down and to a minimum.
• Keep your pets on flea and tick medication.
• Do your best to prevent deer and other large wild animals off your property.
• Have your pest control professional perform a flea or tick spray using natural botanical products, like Eco-PCO, to cut and control the population.
