Flea and Tick Control in Port Perry
If you need flea and tick control in Port Perry, 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 Port Perry.
How AstraHive Pest Control gets rid of fleas and ticks in Port Perry
- 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.
