When Is Northern California’s Tick Season?

Ticks are typically most active in the spring and through the warmer months. This is because ticks thrive in warm, humid environments. While ticks can sometimes be active in milder winter months, they are most prevalent when temperatures consistently rise above 50°F and when there’s plenty of vegetation or shaded areas. During this time, it’s especially important to be vigilant and take precautions to protect yourself, your family, and your pets from these pesky parasites and the diseases they spread.

Ticks are most commonly found in wooded areas, tall grass, and places with dense shrubs, so outdoor activities in these environments may increase exposure. Simple preventative measures, like wearing long sleeves and pants, using tick repellents, and checking both yourself and your pets after spending time outdoors, can help minimize risks. Furthermore, keeping your lawn trimmed and clear of leaf piles creates an environment that is less inviting to ticks. Being proactive during tick season and investing in professional treatments from Burge Pest Control can help you and your loved ones stay safe and comfortable all year round.

Common Flea Hiding Spots in Your Home

Fleas are incredibly sneaky pests that can often hide in places you may not expect. Your pets' bedding is one of the most common spots for fleas to settle, as it provides a warm and cozy environment for them to thrive. It’s important to regularly wash and clean any blankets, pillows, or fabric items your pets use to prevent infestations. Beyond bedding, fleas also nest in carpets and rugs, as the fibers offer excellent shelter. Vacuuming your floors frequently, especially in areas where your pets spend the most time, can help keep these unwelcome visitors under control.

Another favorite hiding spot for fleas is upholstered furniture, including sofas, chairs, and cushions, which provide a perfect environment for fleas to lay eggs and remain out of sight. Even hard-to-reach areas, such as cracks in hardwood floors or the spaces beneath furniture, can become flea havens as they look for places to hide and expand their population. Being thorough with cleaning, regularly inspecting these areas, and having them professionally treated can go a long way in keeping your home flea-free. Don't forget to check your outdoor areas, too – fleas often hitch a ride indoors after living in shaded, moist areas of your yard.

Comprehensive Flea & Tick Control Services

At Burge Pest Control, we employ a structured and comprehensive process designed to effectively eliminate these biting and prevent future infestations. The first step typically includes a thorough inspection where we will identify the areas where fleas and ticks are most prevalent to better understand the extent of the infestation and develop a targeted treatment plan tailored to your needs.

The treatment process often combines advanced methods such as chemical sprays, granular applications, and insect growth regulators. These methods not only eliminate adult fleas and ticks but also disrupt their life cycle by targeting eggs and larvae. We apply these safe and effective solutions to ensure complete coverage, addressing hidden or hard-to-reach areas where pests may thrive. Additionally, we may offer recommendations for post-treatment cleanliness, like routine vacuuming and pet hygiene, to support the effectiveness of the intervention.

By opting for our professional flea and tick control services, you benefit from long-term protection. The expertise and specialized products used during the process ensure deep-rooted infestations are tackled at their source, reducing the likelihood of recurrence. Regular follow-up services or preventative treatments can further safeguard the property and pets, providing peace of mind year-round.
