About Fleas & Ticks
These tiny parasites commonly found on pets can also infest homes in Middle Tennessee areas like Franklin and Brentwood, posing health risks to humans and animals alike. Fleas are small, dark, wingless insects that jump, while ticks are slow-moving arachnids that attach firmly to skin, feeding on blood and potentially transmitting diseases. Effective control involves treating pets, maintaining clean yards, and using targeted lawn care treatments to reduce their habitat.
