Katy Flea & Tick Control Services
Effective & Affordable Solutions for Katy Homes & Businesses
Fleas and ticks are common problems for pet owners and can be an issue even if you don’t have pets. While it is true that fleas and ticks are often brought into homes by dogs and cats, they can also be carried inside on your clothes, shoes, or in your luggage. Fleas and ticks can be a nuisance and are known to transmit diseases and cause allergic reactions.
If you are dealing with a flea or tick infestation, it is important to call a professional. Preventive Pest Control is proud to offer affordable, high-quality services for homeowners and commercial property owners in Katy and throughout the greater Houston area.
At Preventive Pest Control, we offer safe and effective solutions for flea and tick infestations. Call (713) 955-7405 to schedule an appointment for service.
Problems Caused by Fleas
Most people associate fleas with their pets, but they can also bite people. Fleas are tiny, which makes them difficult to see, and they are known for their ability to jump. A single flea can jump about 8 inches vertically or horizontally and can jump more than 150 times its own body length. This amazing jumping ability allows fleas to easily move from host to host.
Fleas can cause a variety of problems, including:
- Itchy, raised red bumps on the skin
- Secondary infections from scratching
- Allergic reactions
- Tapeworms
- Anemia
While fleas are a nuisance and can cause a variety of problems, the good news is that they are not known to transmit diseases in the United States. However, fleas are known to transmit diseases in other parts of the world, so if you have recently traveled to another country, it is important to be aware of the signs of disease.
The Dangers of Ticks
Those tiny specks lurking in tall grass or clinging to your pet can pose a big threat: ticks. While not all tick bites transmit diseases, some carry nasty pathogens that can cause serious illness.
The biggest danger lies in tick-borne diseases like Lyme disease, which can lead to fatigue, joint pain, and neurological problems if left untreated. Other tick-borne illnesses include babesiosis, anaplasmosis, and Rocky Mountain spotted fever, all with potentially serious consequences.
To protect yourself, perform regular tick checks after spending time outdoors, especially in wooded areas. Early detection and removal are crucial. If you find a tick attached, remove it carefully with tweezers and monitor the bite site for signs of infection like redness or a bullseye rash.
Be proactive! Apply insect repellent with DEET and wear protective clothing when venturing into tick territory. Remember, a little vigilance can go a long way in safeguarding yourself from the dangers of ticks.
Preventing Flea & Tick Infestations
It is impossible to prevent flea and tick infestations entirely, but there are steps you can take to reduce the risk. If you have pets, the best way to reduce your risk of fleas is to use a flea preventative. These products are available in a variety of forms, including collars, topical ointments, and oral medications. Flea preventatives are designed to kill fleas, so if your pet comes into contact with a flea, it will be killed before it can lay eggs.
In addition to monitoring your pets, it is also important to keep your home clean and free of clutter. Regularly vacuuming your home and washing your bedding and your pet’s bedding can help to reduce the risk of a flea infestation.
By combining preventative measures for your pet and a vigilant approach to your home environment, you can create a fortress against flea and tick infestations, keeping your furry friend healthy and your home pest-free.

"We have been faithful customer's for many years in 2 different homes in The Woodlands. The guys were always professional and left service cards at the door. When we moved to the last home in 2014, we had a major cutter ant issue!! They appeared out of nowhere and were destroying everything in sight! I called the office in a panic and the gal got someone out the very next day. He not only took care of all the beds, he followed the ant trail all the way to the back of the preserve and knocked those suckers out! We now live in Denver, Colorado. I was so pleased to find a locally owned Preventative Pest control - they are awesome too. When we move back to TW, I'll just pick right back up with you guys!"

"I'm giving this five stars, for two reasons; 1. The staff you speak to on the phone are incredibly polite! If you have a problem, they will listen and do their 100% best to solve it. 2. When I had my initial service done, I felt, at the time, that it was not to my expectations. Immediately I called the customer service folks. The very next day they sent out a manager to come fix any concerns I had. I recommend this company because their prices are low and their service is excellent."

Any concerns, they are “johnny on the spot”!! Excellent service in the most professional manner....from the office to the techs that come out to my home. You will not be disappointed."
