Flea and Tick Control in Brock
If you need flea and tick control in Brock, AstraHive Pest Control offers licensed treatment backed by a 90-day warranty. Ticks and fleas are active through the warm months, and your pets and yard decide the plan in Brock.
How AstraHive Pest Control gets rid of fleas and ticks in Brock
- Ask first about pets, bites and affected rooms.
- Treat. Fleas are treated inside the affected areas. Ticks get an exterior perimeter ULV fogging that lasts about 90 days on walls and about 30 days on grass and vegetation. Where needed we add an insect growth regulator (IGR) for fleas.
- Treat the pets too. Your vet must treat pets at the same time, or they bring fleas back in.
- Follow-up in 4 to 6 weeks, because one treatment kills adult fleas but not the eggs.
Products are Health Canada approved and applied according to the product label, and our technicians are licensed by the Ontario Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP). Our flea and tick work is backed by a 90-day warranty.

More on fleas and ticks for Brock homeowners
| What the guides say | Guide |
|---|---|
| Do not use petroleum jelly, nail polish, a lit match or heat, or any chemical meant to make the tick "back out" on its own. None of these are recommended alternatives to mechanical removal with tweezers, and they can actually increase the chance of the tick regurgitating into the bite. | How to Check Yourself for Ticks After Being Outside: A Complete Body-Check Guide |
| Seek medical evaluation if you develop symptoms after spending time in an area with known tick activity, regardless of whether you remember a bite. Blacklegged ticks in parts of Canada can also carry anaplasmosis, babesiosis, and Powassan virus, though these are far less common than Lyme disease. | How to Check Yourself for Ticks After Being Outside: A Complete Body-Check Guide |
| Use a full-length mirror for the front and sides of your body, and a hand mirror (or a second person) for your back and scalp. Turn on bright lighting, a dim bathroom won't cut it for spotting a nymph the size of a sesame seed. | How to Check Yourself for Ticks After Being Outside: A Complete Body-Check Guide |
| The Lyme rash usually starts at the bite site and grows slowly to more than 5 cm across over several days. | Public Health Agency of Canada: Lyme disease |
