The Importance of Tick & Flea Control
In Beaumont, fleas commonly find their way indoors by hitching a ride on our beloved pets. Trips to the dog park often result in infestations, as these pesky parasites latch onto our furry companions and infiltrate our living spaces. Moreover, other wildlife or rodents in the vicinity can unwittingly introduce fleas and ticks. This occurs when pet owners leave out food and water, inadvertently inviting other animals to partake without their knowledge. Beyond being a nuisance, this scenario poses a significant health risk, as fleas and ticks are carriers of harmful diseases.
What’s the difference between a flea and a tick?
- In Beaumont, fleas and ticks pose distinct challenges, necessitating keen observation and effective pest control measures.
- Fleas are diminutive compared to ticks and can be elusive due to their small size. These minuscule insects typically sport brown bodies and affix themselves to animals for blood meals. Flea bites often manifest as small clusters of red bumps or a line of bites.
- On the other hand, ticks are larger and possess eight legs, unlike fleas, which have six. They primarily inhabit outdoor environments and grasp onto hosts as they pass by. Ticks exhibit a range of colors, including red, brown, yellow, gray, or black. As ticks feed, their bodies engorge notably in size. Once satiated, ticks detach from the host and await their next opportunity.
- Tick bites are recognizable by their bullseye appearance, resulting from the tick embedding its head into the host’s skin during attachment.
At ABC in Beaumont, we adhere to the highest standards of home care and treat your property as we would our own. Whether you’re dealing with a suspected flea infestation or a tick concern, our team is ready to help. Contact us for a complimentary consultation on flea and tick extermination services without any obligation.
In Beaumont, pet owners who observe their furry companions scratching more frequently may suspect a flea infestation. However, heightened itchiness in pets can also be attributed to allergies or dermatitis, making it essential to consider other factors. Additionally, not all pets exhibit scratching behavior when afflicted by fleas.
If your pet appears increasingly agitated, watch out for these additional signs indicating a potential need for flea extermination services:
Excessive licking and biting of fur by pets
When homeowners notice their pets scratching more frequently, they may begin to suspect a flea problem. However, there are several other reasons your pets may be more itchy than usual, including allergies or dermatitis. Plus, not all dogs and pets scratch when they have fleas.
If you do notice your pet seeming more irritated, look for these other indications that you may need a flea exterminator:
- Presence of bites around the ankles and feet of household members
- Appearance and disappearance of blackish-brown dots on socks while walking on carpeted surfaces
- Shedding of black specks, which are flea feces, while brushing pets
- Given the rapid escalation of a flea issue into a full-fledged infestation, swift action is crucial. Contacting a flea exterminator promptly can guide the necessary steps to address the situation effectively.
Due to how quickly a flea problem can turn into a full-blown infestation, the best course of action is to promptly call in a flea exterminator who can advise you on the next steps.
At Beaumont, during your first
visit with ABC; our flea exterminators adopt a comprehensive approach to tackle infestations. We commence by administering treatments indoors and in your yard, followed by applying scientifically backed solutions in your attic and crawl spaces. Given the necessity for our technicians to ensure thorough treatment and product drying time, we request homeowners and their pets to vacate the premises during these service appointments, typically lasting a few hours.
You can anticipate your ABC tick control professional in Beaumont to:
- Please inquire about your pest problem to assess its severity effectively.
- Conduct an initial evaluation of your property to identify potential flea and tick habitats and any wildlife that might have introduced these pests.
- Confirm the presence of pests on your property if necessary.
- Identify any unique factors that could contribute to your home’s susceptibility to infestation.
- Address any questions you may have regarding ABC’s pest control procedures or treatment options.
- Provide you with an estimate, followed by treatment upon your approval.
Given that standard treatments may not penetrate flea cocoons entirely, ABC technicians utilize products containing insect growth regulators to prevent hatched flea eggs from maturing into adults. We typically schedule a follow-up appointment after the initial treatment to ensure the effectiveness of these measures in halting the reproductive cycle. Take the first step today with a complimentary estimate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you help me with a tick problem?
Of course! At ABC, we’re fully equipped to assist Beaumont residents with tick problems. While ticks aren’t commonly found in residential areas, they can pose serious health risks, including Lyme disease transmission. Whether you’ve spotted one tick or several, we can provide customized treatment solutions and offer advice on preventing future infestations.
Is there anything I need to do prior to my appointment?
Before our flea exterminators arrive for treatment, we’ll ensure that you’ve completed the necessary preparations for your home and property. This pre-treatment checklist includes:
- Cleaning all floors by vacuuming, sweeping, or mopping.
- Raking leaves, mowing the lawn, and tidying up other areas of the yard.
- Removing clutter around your home.
- Cleaning or replacing pet bedding, as advised by your ABC technician.
- Take your pet(s) to the vet to establish a flea-control regimen.
Completing these steps is essential for our flea exterminators to commence effective treatments.
Can't I treat fleas on my own?
While there are products available for homeowners to control fleas, many of them prove ineffective. For instance, flea bombs can drive fleas deeper into hiding spots and leave unwanted chemicals on surfaces. Moreover, these products often fail to eliminate flea eggs, leading to a resurgence of the problem once the eggs mature into adults.
If your issue stems from an infested animal on your property, such as wildlife, indoor treatments alone won’t address the root cause. ABC pest control specialists apply effective treatments to ensure your Beaumont home is flea-free and provide specialized tips to prevent future infestations.
What impact do your treatments have on my kids, pets, and the environment?
As a family-run business, our utmost priority is the well-being of your household members. We meticulously choose products that we would trust in our own home, specifically formulated for residential use. In crafting your customized treatment plan, we aim to minimize chemical concentrations while guaranteeing effective pest control.

“In the 36 years I have been in Texas, this is the best lawn service I have had - bar none. They really care about you and your lawn, they come out between service calls just to check on things and make sure everything is going as planned. I haven't experienced anyone else in the business doing that. They send timely emails with helpful tips and reminders. They are truly a professional lawn service that cares about their customers and service levels. My neighbors have commented that our back lawn looks like a golf course. I also did their top dressing service this spring and my lawn looked great even through the drought. Note I was able to continue to water with lake irrigation but it was still the best yard in my area thanks to that top dressing.”
