Flea & Tick Control in Oklahoma City

Defending Your Home Against Dangerous Parasites

Living in Oklahoma City, the warm and humid climate creates the perfect environment for parasitic pests to thrive almost year-round. It often starts with a pet scratching more than usual or a worrying red bump on a family member's skin after a backyard barbecue. Beyond the annoyance of flea bites, our area poses a genuine health risk from tick-borne illnesses like Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. Ignoring these signs can lead to established infestations that store-bought sprays simply cannot resolve, putting the safety of your home environment at risk.

At Priority Pest & Mosquito Solutions, we understand that the health of your loved ones is non-negotiable. Founded in 2020, we are a family-owned company dedicated to delivering reliable flea control Oklahoma City families can count on. Our licensed technicians utilize Integrated Pest Management (IPM) methods to target pests effectively while ensuring our products remain kid- and pet-friendly. Whether you need a pet tick check strategy or a full property treatment, we are here to restore your peace of mind with honesty and professional care.

Our Flea & Tick Treatment Process

At Priority Pest & Mosquito Solutions, we tailor every flea and tick control plan to suit your property, factoring in Oklahoma City's unique weather, common pest habitats, and the layout of your home or business. Our process starts with a thorough inspection of both indoor and outdoor spaces, including places where pests hide such as tall grass, pet bedding, and shaded corners. We practice integrated pest management (IPM) and use safe, effective methods to minimize risks to children and pets while delivering consistent results.

Our team stays current on local guidelines and only uses treatments approved for homes and businesses in Oklahoma. Regular follow-ups and open communication keep you up to date on prevention steps and other actions you can take to support a pest-free environment. Because flea and tick infestations can spread quickly in our region’s warm, humid climate, we focus on both long-term prevention and immediate pest removal. Our customer-first approach ensures you always receive clear guidance and support for your specific situation.

Tips for Preventing Flea & Tick Infestations

Prevention plays a major role in flea and tick control in Oklahoma City. You can lower the risk of infestation by mowing your lawn regularly, trimming back bushes, and clearing away leaf litter where pests hide. Washing pet bedding and vacuuming carpets on a regular basis also interrupts the flea life cycle inside the home. If your pets go outside, use preventive treatments approved by your veterinarian to reduce the chance of bringing pests indoors.

During warmer months, check pets for ticks after walks in local parks or green spaces. Many Oklahoma City neighborhoods have wildlife such as opossums and raccoons, which can raise the risk of flea and tick infestations. Small actions, like securing trash cans and blocking crawl spaces, help keep these animals—and the pests they carry—away from your property.

Will Fleas Bite Humans?

Fleas can bite humans as easily as they bite animals. If they succeed, diseases such as typhus and the Black Plague may be transmitted, which sometimes lead to life-threatening health conditions. Symptoms of typhus usually include fever, chills, muscle aches, vomiting, and confusion. Symptoms of the Black Plague tend to cause flu-like symptoms, swollen lymph nodes, and severe irritation at the bite spot. Left untreated, both illnesses can be fatal.

In Oklahoma, people spend more time outdoors in spring and summer, which increases the risk of flea bites during these seasons. If you frequent parks or work in your yard, you may notice bites on your ankles or legs after returning indoors. Consistent preventive measures are especially important with Oklahoma’s outdoor lifestyle.

If you have flea bites, you might see small clusters of red marks or a series of itchy bites in a line. These often occur near the legs or ankles, but can also appear in the armpits, waist, and other areas.

Identify Fleas and Ticks Near You

Usually the size of a sesame seed or smaller, these dangerous pests often carry Lyme disease and other illnesses that can affect humans. You may see deer ticks, which have red-orange bodies and a black shield, in grassy areas, on plants, and among logs. They are active mostly in the spring and disappear in late fall.

In Oklahoma City, wooded parks and overgrown lots create ideal tick habitats. Rainy months spur weed and grass growth, encouraging tick activity along trails and dog parks. If your pets spend time outside, check them regularly for fleas and ticks after each outing.

When a tick bites, it can feed for up to five days, increasing the risk of disease the longer it stays attached. Since their lifespan can reach two years, hiring a professional exterminator can help control ticks in your home and on your property.

Cat fleas are the most common type found on pets in the area. These fleas often live on wildlife like skunks, opossums, foxes, and raccoons, and outdoor cats are especially at risk for bringing them indoors.

Cat fleas may transmit diseases to people and pets, including typhus, plague, and “cat-scratch disease,” which can trigger severe itching and rashes. For safe and effective flea pest control in Oklahoma City, consult an exterminator to address the infestation.

Fleas can leap up to 8 inches vertically—roughly 150 times their own height. They tend to be twice as large as deer ticks, with a reddish-brown shield and narrower body. If not managed, fleas easily spread illness among people and animals.

Walkways, trails, dog parks, pet kennels, and other busy spots are common locations for dog ticks, especially from April to August.

Bites from dog ticks have caused serious conditions like Rocky Mountain spotted fever, tularemia, Lyme disease, and tick paralysis. Though more common in Europe in the past, dog ticks now appear throughout Oklahoma, including Oklahoma City. Have your house checked and treated by an exterminator if you suspect ticks.

How to Remove a Tick From Your Pet

The CDC provides guidance on how to safely and properly remove a tick from your pet. Consider visiting the CDC Tick Removal page for detailed instructions and images to lower the risk of injury or accident.

Act quickly but don’t panic when removing the tick. While several removal tools are available, fine-tipped tweezers also work well. Use tweezers to grasp the tick as close to the skin’s surface as possible and pull upward with steady, even pressure. Don’t twist or jerk, as this can break the mouth parts and leave them in the skin. If some mouth parts remain, remove them with tweezers or let the skin heal naturally if you can’t get them out easily.

Oklahoma residents should keep a pair of fine tweezers and a small jar with rubbing alcohol close to where they groom pets for quick access if needed. Many local veterinarians share printed tick removal instructions that pet owners can rely on when removing ticks at home.

After removing the tick, clean the bite area and your hands with rubbing alcohol or soap and water. Never crush a tick with your fingers. Dispose of a live tick by placing it in alcohol, putting it in a sealed bag or container, wrapping it tightly in tape, or flushing it down the toilet.

Recommended methods:

Visit a local veterinary clinic for guaranteed and safe removal
Try a flea collar (Note: many users of these collars say it’s a hit or miss)
Wash your pet with flea and tick shampoo
Best option: Contact a pest control company like Priority Pest & Mosquito Solutions for real results

FAQs

How long does it take to notice fewer fleas and ticks after treatment?

Many people notice less flea and tick activity within a few days of the initial visit. Follow-up visits often further reduce the number of pests, especially during Oklahoma’s peak seasons.

What should I do to prepare my home before a flea and tick control visit?

Before your appointment, remove pet toys and bedding from floors, vacuum carpets and rugs thoroughly, and move clutter away from baseboards or corners. These steps help professionals reach breeding areas and increase the effectiveness of treatments.

Can flea and tick control be safe for pets and children?

Pest control companies using integrated pest management (IPM) methods in Oklahoma generally choose treatments that consider the safety of pets and children. Providers will give clear instructions about when it’s safe to return to treated areas.
