Flea & Tick Extermination

Complete Protection for Your Home and Family

Get a Reno delivers flea and tick control that targets every life stage of these pests, from eggs buried in your carpet to adult fleas jumping onto your dog in the yard. Our treatments eliminate existing infestations and establish ongoing protection so your family and pets can reclaim their outdoor spaces without worrying about tick bites or flea problems.

A typical flea infestation is 50% eggs and 35% larvae, which means the adults you see represent a fraction of the actual population. Female fleas can lay over 500 eggs in their lifetime, and fleas can complete their life cycle in as little as two weeks. Treating only the pests you can see leaves the vast majority of the problem untouched. Get a Reno's approach accounts for this biology, combining pet-safe yard treatments with indoor environmental control to break the cycle at every stage.

Why You'll Love Our Flea Treatment and Tick Control

• Immediate relief from biting pests. Adulticides kill mature fleas on contact, and topical treatments can kill fleas and ticks on contact or upon feeding. Your pets stop scratching; your family stops finding bites on their lower legs after spending time outdoors.

• Lower disease risk for your household. Tick-borne diseases like Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, ehrlichiosis, and anaplasmosis more than doubled in U.S. reports between 2004 and 2016, growing from roughly 50,000 annual cases to over 100,000. Black legged ticks (also called blacklegged ticks) transmit several of these pathogens. Reducing tick populations around your property directly lowers your family's tick exposure.

• Healthier pets, fewer vet bills. Fleas and ticks can cause serious health problems for pets, including flea-borne anemia in puppies and kittens with heavy infestations. Continuous use of preventive treatments is recommended for pets throughout the year. Get a Reno's yard treatments complement whatever your veterinarian prescribes.

• Treatments that last weeks, not days. Acaricides applied by Get a Reno can reduce ticks for six to eight weeks per application. Residual flea pesticides help break the flea life cycle by continuing to work on eggs and larvae long after the initial visit. Essential oils and botanical options are available but require more frequent reapplication because they degrade faster.

• Safe for families. Every product we use carries EPA registration, with clear label instructions for species and weight restrictions. We follow drying-time protocols so children and pets can return to treated areas on schedule.

What Makes Get a Reno Different

Most pest control companies target adult fleas and ticks only. That approach fails because the adults account for roughly 15% of a flea population. The other 85%, eggs, larvae, and pupae, survive in carpets, pet bedding, furniture, and yard debris. Within weeks, a new generation emerges and the infestation restarts.

Get a Reno builds its service around a different model:

• Every life stage, every environment. We pair adulticides with insect growth regulators (IGRs) that prevent flea eggs and larvae from developing into adults. Indoors, we address carpets and upholstery where flea eggs, larvae, and pupae persist. Outdoors, we treat the lawn, brushy areas, and wooded edges where ticks thrive in moist, shady conditions.

• Integrated habitat management. Kill fleas and kill ticks with chemicals alone and they return if the habitat invites them. Get a Reno includes landscaping advice with every treatment: keep grass short, remove leaf litter, clear brush from play areas, stack wood neatly away from the house, and create a three-foot gravel barrier between lawns and woods. That physical barrier functions as a tick safe zone, separating your yard from woodland edges where deer and rodents carry ticks onto your property.

• Traditional and natural options, with honest trade-offs. We offer EPA-approved pesticides for maximum residual control and natural treatments including cedar oil and beneficial nematodes that attack flea larvae in soil. Essential oils can be used as natural acaricides; however, botanical treatments last days rather than weeks and need reapplication. We explain the difference so you choose what fits your household.

• Monitoring that catches re-emergence early. Flea pupae can remain dormant in cocoons for weeks, protected from insecticides until vibration, heat, or carbon dioxide triggers emergence. Get a Reno schedules follow-up inspections every 3-4 weeks during peak season to catch these late emergers before they rebuild the infestation.

How Our Flea and Tick Control Works to Prevent Lyme Disease

Step 1: Property inspection and risk assessment. A Get a Reno technician walks your property to identify high-risk zones: shaded moist areas, tall grass, leaf litter accumulations, pet resting spots, mulched garden beds, and wooded areas bordering your lawn. Indoors, we check carpets, furniture, and pet bedding. Ticks thrive in moist, shady environments, so we map where moisture and shade overlap with human and pet activity. We also assess tick activity by checking for signs of deer, rodents, and small animals that sustain tick populations on residential properties.

Step 2: Targeted treatment across your property. Outdoors, we apply perimeter sprays and granular treatments spread across your lawn, garden beds, deck areas, and pet spaces. Granules must be applied evenly for consistent coverage in treated areas. We focus on wooded edges and brushy areas where ticks quest for hosts. Yard treatments discourage ticks by maintaining short grass and clearing debris. Indoors, we treat problem zones with products that address all life stages. Vacuuming can help eliminate flea eggs, larvae, and pupae from the environment; we recommend high-heat laundering of pet bedding and linens in hot water, which kills all life stages of fleas and ticks. If you vacuum after treatment, seal and dispose of the vacuum bag to prevent re-release of captured eggs.

Step 3: Follow-up and ongoing protection. Adult fleas can jump up to 8 inches vertically, reaching pets and humans from floor level. Because fleas and ticks can affect both indoor and outdoor pets, a single treatment rarely resolves an established infestation. Get a Reno returns for scheduled follow-ups, reapplies treatments where needed, and adjusts the plan based on what we find. The most effective flea and tick control involves treating pets and cleaning the environment simultaneously; we coordinate with your approach to pet care to make sure nothing falls through the gaps.

Service Details

For properties that need broader upkeep, Get a Reno offers property management services that combine pest control with landscaping and maintenance.

Who Our Service Is For

Get a Reno's flea and tick control fits:

• Pet owners with yards. Dogs and cats that spend time outdoors pick up fleas and ticks and bring them inside. Pets should be treated using methods appropriate to their age, weight, and health; Get a Reno handles the yard and home so your vet's pet treatments and overall flea control plan work as intended. Indoor and outdoor pets both benefit from continuous prevention through every season.

• Families with children who play outside. Tick bites send more people to emergency rooms now than at any point in the past decade, according to 2026 surveillance data. Children in play areas near wooded edges face elevated exposure to ticks that can transmit Lyme disease and other infections.

• Homeowners near woods or wildlife corridors. Deer, rodents, and small animals carry ticks and fleas onto residential properties. Properties at the woodland-urban interface see higher infestation rates and need perimeter treatment to reduce tick populations.

• Anyone dealing with an active infestation. If you already have a flea problem or are finding ticks on your pets or family members, Get a Reno works as a flea exterminator to deliver reactive treatment combined with environmental cleanup for the fastest path to rid your property of these pests.

If you want to prevent fleas and ticks rather than react to them, Get a Reno provides the ongoing protection that makes your outdoor spaces usable year-round.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the flea treatment safe for children and pets? Every product Get a Reno applies is EPA-registered with specific label instructions for safe use. We follow drying-time protocols and advise you on when children and pets can return to treated areas. Flea and tick collars provide long-lasting protection by releasing active ingredients gradually, but some collar residues have been shown to exceed safe thresholds for toddlers in EPA safety assessments. We select products with lower transfer risk and clear re-entry guidelines.

How long do treatments last? Acaricides can reduce ticks for six to eight weeks per application. Residual flea treatments remain active for four to six weeks in the environment. During peak season, monthly visits maintain coverage. Regular vacuuming between visits helps remove flea populations and eggs that accumulate in carpets and furniture.

What if fleas or ticks come back? Flea pupae can survive in cocoons for weeks before emerging, so a second wave after initial treatment is common. Oral medications for pets typically kill fleas and ticks by entering the bloodstream, but the yard and home environment still harbors dormant stages. Get a Reno's satisfaction guarantee includes free retreatments if pests return between scheduled visits.

Can I combine this with other pest control services? Yes. Get a Reno is a pest control company that can bundle flea and tick control with other property services. Contact us to discuss your specific needs.

When should I start treatment? Early spring, typically March or April, before tick activity peaks and before the first generation of fleas establishes in your yard, especially since tall grass and overgrowth create the perfect environment for tick activity. Starting preventive treatment before you see pests reduces the total number of applications needed and keeps infestation levels low through the season. Plant tick-repelling herbs like lavender and rosemary in garden beds as an additional natural deterrent.

Do I need to treat indoors too? If your pets spend time inside, yes. Fleas and ticks can affect both indoor and outdoor pets. Flea eggs, larvae, and pupae persist in carpets and upholstery, and adult fleas that hitch a ride indoors on animals or humans will lay eggs within hours. High-heat laundering of bedding and regular vacuuming are essential between professional treatments. Consider using dish soap in water traps as a simple monitoring tool to gauge indoor flea levels between visits.
