Flea and Tick Control in Centerburg, OH

Protect your pets, your family, and your yard

Fleas and ticks are more than a nuisance. Fleas can multiply quickly indoors and cause intense itching for pets and people. Ticks thrive outdoors in tall grass, leaf litter, and wooded edges, then latch onto pets and humans, creating real health risks.

Why fleas and ticks are a serious problem

Fleas can lead to persistent bites, allergic reactions, and fast-growing infestations inside the home. Ticks can transmit diseases and are often picked up during everyday yard time, walks, and outdoor play, especially around shaded, overgrown areas.

Our approach

Caudill Pest Control focuses on breaking the life cycle and reducing the habitat. We treat the areas where fleas and ticks live and reproduce, then help you tighten up prevention with practical recommendations for pets, property, and routine maintenance.

Signs You Need This Service

Pet scratching and “flea dirt”: Frequent scratching, biting at the skin, hair loss, or red irritation can signal fleas. Tiny black specks in fur (that turn reddish-brown when wet) are a common indicator.
Bites on ankles and lower legs: Flea bites often show up as small, itchy clusters, commonly around ankles and calves. Tick bites may be less noticeable at first, especially if the tick drops off unnoticed.
Ticks found after outdoor time: Discovering ticks on pets, clothing, or skin after yard work or walks is a strong warning sign. High-risk areas include tall grass, brush lines, leaf piles, and wooded borders.

Our Process

We start by identifying where flea and tick activity is most likely, both indoors and outdoors, based on pets, wildlife pressure, and habitat conditions. Treatment is applied to the right zones to reduce adult populations and disrupt breeding areas. Because fleas and ticks have multi-stage life cycles, follow-up and prevention steps are key to lasting results.

Inspection and risk assessment

We evaluate your home and yard, focusing on pet resting areas, shaded zones, tall grass edges, and wildlife pathways.

Preparation guidance

You will receive clear instructions to improve results, such as vacuuming routines, laundering pet bedding, and reducing clutter in key areas.

Targeted treatment application

We treat the appropriate indoor areas (when needed) and outdoor hot spots where fleas and ticks hide, breed, and travel.

Follow-up and monitoring

If activity remains or conditions are high risk, we recommend follow-up timing to help fully break the cycle.

Prevention plan

We provide practical steps like mowing schedules, brush cleanup, habitat reduction, and pet coordination recommendations.

Common Questions

Do I need to treat my pets too, or will yard and home treatment be enough?

Pets are often the main transport for fleas and ticks, so coordinated pet protection is important. We can treat the environment, but ongoing pet prevention through your preferred vet-approved options is usually necessary to fully stop the cycle.

Why do fleas keep coming back after I vacuum and use store products?

Fleas reproduce fast, and eggs and pupae can survive through many DIY efforts. Professional treatments combined with consistent vacuuming and laundering help target the entire life cycle.

Where do ticks usually come from in a yard?

Ticks thrive in shaded, humid areas, like tall grass edges, brush lines, leaf litter, and wooded borders. Pets and wildlife can also bring ticks into the yard repeatedly.

How can I reduce flea and tick pressure long-term?

Keep grass trimmed, remove leaf piles and brush, create a cleaner border between lawns and wooded areas, and maintain consistent pet prevention. We will point out the most impactful improvements for your property.
