How to Identify Fleas
Fleas are tiny, fast, and hard to see. They are about the size of a pinhead, and they are usually brown or reddish-brown. They have flat bodies and long legs that are designed for jumping, and they can jump up to 150 times their own height. Fleas can bite people, but they prefer to feed on animals, especially dogs and cats. If you have pets, they may be scratching or biting themselves if they have fleas. You may also notice tiny black specks on your pet's skin or in their bedding, which could be flea droppings.
Fleas are ectoparasites, which means that they live on the outside of their hosts' bodies. They are wingless, but they have long legs that are designed for jumping. They can jump up to 150 times their own height, which is why they can move so quickly. Fleas are also very hard to kill, because their bodies are covered in a hard, waxy substance that protects them from water and other substances. This is why it is so important to call a professional for The Woodlands flea control.

Tick Identification in The Woodlands
The Woodlands' beautiful parks and trails offer a chance to connect with nature, but they also come with a potential hitchhiker: ticks. These tiny arachnids feed on the blood of animals and humans and can transmit diseases if not identified and removed promptly. Here's what you need to know about tick identification in The Woodlands:
Common Tick Species in The Woodlands:
- Lone Star Tick: Easily recognizable by the single white marking on the female's back.
- Blacklegged Tick (Deer Tick): Females have a black body with a red-brown "shield" on their backs. Males are mostly black. Be aware, this tick can transmit Lyme disease.
- American Dog Tick: Brown body with reddish markings, commonly found on dogs but can also bite humans.
Identifying Ticks:
- Size: Ticks can be very small, the size of a sesame seed in their nymph stage, to larger than a pea when fully engorged.
- Body: They have a flat, oval-shaped body and eight legs (unlike spiders which have six).
- Head: Look for a small head with mouthparts designed for latching onto a host.
Early detection and removal are crucial! If you find a tick on yourself or your pet, carefully remove it with tweezers and monitor the bite site for signs of infection. For accurate identification and to discuss potential disease risks, consult a healthcare professional.
