Tick & Flea Pest Control in Houston
Flea & Tick Treatments for Homes in Spring & Beyond
Fleas and ticks may be small, but the problems they bring can grow fast. From itchy bites to potential disease risks, these pests can make your home or yard uncomfortable for both people and pets. Warm weather in Spring and across the Greater Houston area only increases their activity, especially during Houston’s long outdoor seasons.
At H-Town Home Services, we treat flea and tick issues at the source—inside and outside. Whether fleas have hitched a ride indoors on a pet or ticks have taken over your backyard, our team responds quickly with proven solutions to address the problem.
We create our treatment plans to fit each property’s unique layout, taking into account pet routine areas, shaded patches, and common entry points. Our team offers both organic and traditional pest control solutions, depending on your family’s needs and preferences. No two infestations are the same, so our flexible approach helps ensure effective flea control while minimizing disruption to your daily life.
Each visit includes a detailed walk-through of your property, including discussions about recent pest sightings, pet behavior, and any home improvements that might impact pest access. Because Houston’s climate encourages pests to thrive nearly year-round, we also offer guidance on ongoing prevention so the problems don’t return after treatment.

Why Fleas & Ticks Thrive in Houston
Fleas and ticks aren’t just a seasonal issue in this area—they’re a year-round concern. Houston’s warmth, humidity, and surrounding wildlife create an ideal breeding environment, especially in yards, crawlspaces, and shaded landscaping. Once these pests are on your property, they can quickly find their way indoors.
You don’t need pets to bring in fleas or ticks. Squirrels, raccoons, stray animals, or even human foot traffic can introduce these pests to your property. That’s why we address both the interior and exterior of your home—to ensure we don’t miss any hidden areas.
Houston’s proximity to bayous and wooded parks also means higher wildlife activity, which increases the risk of fleas and ticks moving from outdoor spaces into neighborhoods. Public health agencies in Harris County often report fluctuations in tick-borne illnesses during warm, wet periods, underlining the importance of regular inspections. Shady yards, leaf litter, and heavy mulch all create ideal conditions for fleas and ticks to multiply, making preventative attention crucial for Houston homeowners.
Common areas where we find flea and tick activity include:
- Carpets
- Pet bedding
- Furniture
- Baseboards
- Outdoor grass and shaded areas
- Under decks
- Around foundation lines
With fleas and ticks, what you see is rarely the full extent of the issue. We target breeding grounds, entry points, and hiding spots to help stop the infestation before it spreads further.
Risks & Health Concerns with Fleas and Ticks in Houston
Fleas and ticks cause more than irritation. In the Houston area, these pests can carry diseases that affect both pets and people. For example, ticks are known carriers of Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and other illnesses often transmitted through a single bite. Fleas can spread tapeworms, typhus, and cause allergic dermatitis in dogs and cats, leading to ongoing discomfort and costly vet visits.
Local health authorities in Harris County regularly remind residents to check for ticks after outdoor activities, especially when spending time in wooded or grassy spaces. Because Houston’s mild winters rarely kill off these pests, treating infestations promptly reduces the risk of repeated bites and dangerous reactions, particularly for young children and the elderly.
Staying on top of tick control in Houston is a critical part of keeping families and pets healthy. The sooner you address the problem, the easier it is to prevent these health risks.
How We Address Flea and Tick Problems
Getting rid of fleas and ticks takes more than one visit with a can of insecticide. At H-Town Home Services, we use a strategic treatment process that addresses the issue at all life stages—eggs, larvae, and adults—and helps prevent future reinfestations.
Our technicians use products that meet strict safety standards for pets and families, with options available for organic formulas. During treatment, we share clear aftercare instructions—such as when to vacuum, limit pet access to dried areas, or wash bedding—to make sure your home remains comfortable during and after service. We also review lawn care tips to help interrupt the flea and tick lifecycle outdoors, especially in Houston’s humid zones where pests hide in thatch and shaded turf.
We offer seasonal preventive treatments for at-risk homes, particularly for properties near wooded parks or bayous where flea and tick populations peak in late spring and early fall. Many Houston clients select ongoing service to keep their property guarded against year-round activity.
Here’s what you can expect:
- Inspection – We evaluate both indoor and outdoor areas for signs of activity and contributing conditions.
- Identification – Confirm the presence of fleas or ticks and locate common hot spots.
- Treatment plan – Apply targeted products to affected zones—carpets, pet zones, furniture, and yard areas.
- Education – We provide guidance on pet care, vacuuming, and yard maintenance to support the treatment.
- Follow-up (if needed) – In heavier infestations, we may recommend a second visit to reinforce our treatments.
We use effective, pet-safe products and walk you through any necessary precautions. Our goal is to complete the job quickly, thoroughly, and with as little disruption as possible.
