Why do I still see fleas after professional treatment?
Fleas in pupal cases are protected from insecticide and can emerge for up to two weeks after treatment. This is normal, those new adults will die when they contact the IGR-treated surfaces. A follow-up at 14 days is typically scheduled to handle this 'pupal window' and confirm full elimination.
Is a tick exterminator the same as flea and tick treatment?
Yes, it's the same visit. Whether you look for a tick exterminator, an exterminator for ticks, or flea and tick treatment, the work targets the shaded yard perimeter, the pet rest areas, and the dense vegetation where ticks wait. Indoor work is added when the infestation has already moved inside.
Do I need to treat the yard if my pets are mostly indoors?
If your pets go outside even briefly, to the bathroom, on the patio, they can pick up fleas from the yard and bring them back in. Yard treatment is recommended when there's any outdoor exposure, otherwise indoor-only treatment can work.
Are the products safe for my dog and cat?
Yes, when used correctly. The technicians we send use EPA-registered products applied per label, and treated surfaces are safe once dry (typically 30–60 minutes). Timing is coordinated so pets aren't directly exposed to wet product. Cats are more sensitive than dogs to certain pyrethroids, so the product mix gets adjusted in cat households.
