When to Call a Flea or Tick Exterminator

Fleas and ticks are two of the most common pest problems faced by residents in Peekskill NY. These parasitic pests are feared for their bites not just on pets but also on humans. In addition to being a nuisance, these pests can be dangerous. Ticks are responsible for transmitting a number of endangering diseases to people and animals alike. For this reason, it’s important to know when it’s time to call a flea or tick exterminator.

At Garrie Pest Control we want to protect our customers from the dangers of parasitic pests all year long. We are happy to help control tick and flea infestations in our Peekskill NY communities!

Are Fleas & Ticks Dangerous?

If you have pets that spend time outdoors, chances are you’ve dealt with fleas or ticks at some point. But just how dangerous are these parasites? In general, fleas are just a nuisance and cause discomfort from their bites. Nationwide, flea-borne diseases are rare. However, they have been linked to the plague, typhus, and other diseases worldwide. 

Ticks, on the other hand, are considered very dangerous. They are responsible for transmitting a number of diseases such as Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever and more. For these reasons, an infestation from either of these pests should be taken very seriously.
