How Common Are Fleas and Ticks in Suffolk County & Nassau County?

Fleas and ticks are very common here, especially at the peak of summer. Most pet owners have experienced firsthand how difficult it can be to prevent them. Even if you don’t have furry friends, there’s a good chance you’ve encountered fleas or ticks in Suffolk County & Nassau County before. Ticks especially love our warm, humid climate and abundant wooded areas.

We deal with three types of ticks on Long Island: deer ticks, American dog ticks, and lone star ticks. You can read more about them here.

Signs of Flea Infestation

Flea infestations can sometimes be mistaken for bed bug infestations, due to the itchy bites they cause and their almost invisible presence. Fleas are also very small, and so can be hard to spot. They’re about 2.5 mm in length. Regardless of which pest you’re dealing with, the Suburban Exterminating team can help.

Here are a few potential signs of flea infestation:

Unexplained itchy bites anywhere on the body.
Pets scratching excessively.
“Flea dirt” or dark spots on your pet’s fur.
Fleas hopping around on carpet or furniture.
Pet hair loss or unusual red patches on their skin.

Unlike fleas, ticks tend to stay outdoors and wait for their prey; they’re much more solitary than fleas. This means you won’t necessarily have a tick infestation in your home, but rather a high number of them outdoors. Tick control usually involves removing long grass and other shrubs that provide shelter and perching points.

Our Pest Control Process

Tick and flea control needs to be taken seriously. Since opening our doors in 1960, the Suburban Exterminating team has honed our techniques for combating these tiny little bloodsuckers. Now we operate on a five-step program that we customize to fit the needs of every home or business we serve. It goes as follows:

A thorough inspection to determine its source as well as the species of the tick or flea
Treat the infestation using pesticides, preventative measures, and more
Implement preventative measures to prevent ticks and fleas from entering in the future
Create a report that details all of the work done
Follow up with return trips as necessary to ensure you remain tick and flea-free

Like many other types of pest infestation, flea control isn’t as simple a one-and-done treatment. You will need follow-up treatments to make sure your infestation stays gone for good.
