Common Questions
Flea and Tick Control FAQs
Most of a flea infestation is not on your pet. The eggs and larvae sit in carpets, bedding, and shaded yard areas, and they keep hatching after a pet only treatment ends. Ringdahl attacks every life stage at once, treating indoors and out together. We also share practical guidance on washing, vacuuming, and pet care that makes the treatment stick.
Common signs include pets scratching, biting at their fur, or losing hair, tiny dark specks called flea dirt in pet bedding or carpets, and bites around your ankles after time in the yard. Finding ticks on pets, clothing, or family members is another clear warning. Any of these signs means the home and yard should be treated together.
Yes. Fleas and ticks carry diseases that affect people and pets alike, which is why Ringdahl treats them as a health issue, not just a nuisance. Breaking the flea life cycle indoors and reducing tick habitat in the yard lowers the risk for the whole household. Our service covers both areas in one coordinated plan for your property.
Follow the practical guidance your technician gives you, because your part of the routine makes the treatment work. Washing pet bedding, vacuuming carpets thoroughly, and keeping up the pet care steps we recommend helps remove eggs and larvae between visits. Ringdahl treats the home and yard together and explains each step, so the results last instead of fading.
