Flea & Tick Control in Riverview, FL
Fleas and ticks torment pets and people alike. We break the life cycle indoors and out.
Quick answer: Taps controls fleas with a plan that targets the yard, the home, and the flea life cycle; treating pets with a vet-recommended product at the same time is essential for lasting results.

- Mow and rake the yard so treatment reaches the shaded soil where fleas breed
- Plan for people and pets to stay off treated surfaces until dry (about 3-4 hours)
Flea & Tick Control - Frequently Asked Questions
Why do fleas come back after treatment?
Flea eggs and larvae survive the first treatment hidden in carpet and soil. They hatch days later, so a properly timed second treatment is essential to break the cycle - which is why we schedule follow-up.
Do I need to treat my yard for fleas too?
Usually yes. Pets pick fleas up outdoors, so treating only indoors leaves the source untouched. We treat shaded, humid yard areas where fleas and ticks harbor.
How should I prepare for a flea treatment?
Vacuum thoroughly and empty the bag outside, wash pet bedding on hot, pick up clutter from the floors, and have pets on a vet-recommended preventive. Good prep lets the treatment reach the carpet and soil where eggs and larvae hide - we'll give you a full checklist.
Can fleas and ticks make my family or pets sick?
Yes. Ticks can transmit Lyme disease and other illnesses to people and pets, and heavy flea burdens cause itching, allergic reactions, and tapeworm in animals. Treating the home and yard together with a vet preventive is the strongest defense.
