Tick & Flea Control in Lewiston, Idaho

Tick and flea control in Lewiston protects the families and the pets of a city where the timber and the rivers carry the tick risk. The Rocky Mountain wood tick and the American dog tick are active in the forest and the brush around the city, and the river corridor keeps the populations active through the warm months. The fleas follow the pets and the wildlife. The professional program combines the yard tick treatment, the interior and the yard flea treatment, and the prevention guidance.
