Tick & Flea Control in Auburn, Maine

Tick and flea control in Auburn protects the families and the pets of the river valley. The black-legged deer tick is established across the Androscoggin valley, and the wooded lots, the tall grass, and the river edges keep the populations active through the warm months. Maine has among the highest Lyme disease rates in the country, so the tick work is a health priority, not a nuisance. The fleas follow the pets and the wildlife. The program combines the yard tick treatment, the interior and the yard flea treatment, and the prevention guidance.

How tick and flea control works

1. Inspection. The technician maps the wooded edge, the tall grass, the brush, and the pet areas.
2. Yard tick treatment. The barrier is applied to the vegetation, the edges, and the property line.
3. Interior flea treatment. The carpets, the baseboards, and the pet bedding are treated.
4. Yard flea treatment. The shaded areas and the pet zones are treated.
5. Season-long service. The barrier is reapplied on the schedule through the season.

The family protection routine

The yard treatment is only half of the tick protection. The Auburn families need the daily tick check after the outdoor time, especially on the kids and the dogs that run the wooded and the river edges. The pets need the veterinarian-prescribed prevention, and the lawns need to be kept short.

The tick that carries the Lyme disease hides in the tall grass and the leaf litter at the edge of the Auburn lot. The families that do the daily tick check, keep the lawn short, and run the yard treatment through the season are the ones that do not find the attached tick at the end of the day.

The river edge and the brushy lines

The Auburn tick and flea picture follows the river edge and the wooded lines. The tall grass and the brush along the Androscoggin lots carry the tick risk, and the families and the pets that use those areas need the yard treatment that covers the property line and the edges. The daily tick check is part of the routine, and the pets need the veterinarian-prescribed prevention. The yard treatment and the routine together are what prevent the disease.

If the ticks are finding you at the edge of the lot or the fleas are in the house, start with a free inspection. A licensed Auburn technician will map the pressure and quote the season-long program honestly.
