Flea and Tick Control in Southwest Ranches, FL for Acreage and Animal Owners

Flea & Tick Control in Southwest Ranches

With horses, dogs, livestock and open land, Southwest Ranches is ideal territory for fleas and ticks. Ticks wait in tall grass, brush, tree lines and fence rows for a passing animal or person. Fleas build up in shady, moist areas under shrubs, porches and barn overhangs and in the spots where dogs and barn cats rest. Wildlife moving through canals, nurseries and wooded edges, like raccoons and opossums, can bring both onto your property.

South Florida's warm climate keeps fleas and ticks active all year, and the rainy season helps them multiply. On large lots, the areas near trails, pasture edges, kennels and the barn are usually where problems show up first. Working dogs and barn cats that roam the whole property can carry fleas back to the house even when they're on prevention.

What We Treat for Flea & Tick in Southwest Ranches

• Shady areas under shrubs, porches and barn overhangs
• Dog runs, kennels and pet resting spots
• Tall grass, brush, fence rows and tree lines
• Pasture borders, trails and paths to the barn
• Inside the home, when needed

Kennels, Barns and Trails

Kennels and dog runs are usually the flea hot spot, and trails and pasture edges are where ticks wait. We focus on kennels, runs and the yard around the home and plan timing around your animals, so kennels can be emptied and dried before dogs go back in.

Simple Steps Between Visits

Mow often near the house, kennels and paths. Clear brush piles and leaf litter. Wash pet bedding weekly and vacuum floors and furniture. Keep pet food inside so wildlife isn't drawn in. Check people, dogs and horses for ticks after time on trails or in tall grass.
