Protect Your Home and Pets with Effective Flea and Tick ControlProGuard Pest & Lawn | Van Wert, Ohio
When it comes to protecting your family, pets, and lawn, fleas and ticks are more than just a nuisance—they’re a real threat. These pests are common throughout Van Wert and surrounding areas, especially during the warmer months. As your trusted local pest control company, ProGuard is here to help you understand the risks and take action with proven flea and tick control solutions.
Why Fleas and Ticks Are a Problem
Fleas and ticks thrive in tall grass, shady areas, and even your pet’s bedding. Once they make it onto your pets or into your home, they reproduce quickly and can be difficult to eliminate. Fleas cause itching, allergic reactions, and discomfort for pets and people alike. Ticks pose even greater health risks, potentially transmitting diseases like Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever.
Signs You May Have Fleas or Ticks
Pets scratching excessively or developing skin irritation
Small reddish-brown insects in pet fur or carpets
Tick bites after being outdoors
Finding ticks attached to pets or clothing
Unexplained bug bites on your skin
If you’re seeing any of these signs, it’s time to call in the professionals.
