Fleas ride indoors on pets and settle into carpets, while ticks wait in the tall grass along your fence line. Both start in the yard, which is exactly where treatment has to reach to make outdoor time comfortable again for your family.
Red Mountain Pest & Termite treats those outdoor hiding spots as an optional add-on to your mosquito service. Add it on, and your family gets comfortable outdoor time back, without the bites or the worry about what’s in the grass.
Keep Disease-Carrying Ticks & Fleas Out of Your Yard
Ticks can pass on disease, fleas can take over carpets and bedding, and both start in your yard. We treat those areas alongside your mosquito service, so neither gets inside.
How Fleas & Ticks Take Over a Yard
Fleas and ticks travel differently but share the same launch pad: your landscaping. Fleas thrive in humid ground cover and mulch beds and ride indoors on pets, while ticks climb grass blades and brush along property edges, waiting to latch onto anything that passes.
These steps help, though an established population usually needs a licensed treatment plan to clear. That’s where our targeted yard service does the heavy lifting.
Birmingham’s Flea & Tick Treatment FAQs
To get rid of fleas indoors, run a daily cleaning routine and treat your pets the same day. Vacuum carpets and upholstery, emptying the canister outside each time, then wash pet bedding in hot water and apply a vet-recommended product to every animal. Because fleas keep drifting back in from the yard, lasting flea control also means an outdoor treatment, which our yard service covers during your regular mosquito visit.
Effective tick control starts with a professional treatment for your yard, aimed at the overgrown borders and grassy edges where they gather. You can help by mowing regularly and clearing leaf litter, but ticks are stubborn, so a licensed application does the real work. We treat these zones as part of your mosquito service, timed through the warm months when ticks stay most active.
Begin flea and tick prevention in early spring, before populations surge, and keep it going into fall. In Alabama’s climate, both pests stay active much of the year, so a single spray won’t hold, and steady, scheduled treatment does the real work. Our seasonal service plan keeps your yard covered through the peak months, and the recurring visits mean fewer surprises when the weather warms up.
When fleas keep coming back after you’ve cleaned and treated your pets, or when bites and live fleas turn up week after week, it’s time to call in a professional like Red Mountain. That pattern usually means the population has taken hold in the yard, beyond the reach of store sprays. Our technicians treat those outdoor sources as part of your mosquito service and return on a set schedule, so the cycle finally breaks for good.
Yes, we offer an indoor flea service to address infestations inside the home, separate from the outdoor flea and tick add-on. A technician applies an adulticide to kill adult fleas and an insect growth regulator that stops eggs and larvae from maturing. It runs as two visits: the first treatment, then a follow-up 7 to 10 days later to catch any fleas that hatched afterward. The service is a flat $295.
