Each property with pest issues to resolve is unique. Sprawling backyards with big lawns, garden areas, or woods each have various habitats that our local pests seek out for shelter, and your yard is no different. While we are all well acquainted with the mosquitoes that plague our region during the outdoor living season, there are even more pests that exist on the periphery of our awareness. Ticks, fleas, and ants are also a common issue in our local area, and this spells bad news both for our health and the health of our pets. Fortunately, our Squad Yard Defender Package with target each of these pests to yield exceptional results.

Professional Pest Control for Pets; Humans Benefit Too

You’ve likely never seen a flea out in nature, but we all know they are out there searching for their next host. Unfortunately, your pets may be at risk from these parasites. Fleas are easily identifiable by their jumping ability and the ease with which they travel through hair – it’s almost like they’re swimming through. Fleas also feed on our pets’ blood, and they will leave dark, crusty droppings in your furry friend’s hair. With a smooth exoskeleton and barbs that aid with grappling, fleas are extremely well adapted to living on furry animals, meaning your best bet at controlling them lies with proactive measures. While there are treatments you can apply directly to your pet, taking topical medicine isn’t fun for anyone. With our help, you can help keep fleas away in the first place with our powerful flea control treatments!
