Small Pests. Big Interruptions.
A scratching dog. A tick after backyard play. Something jumping where nothing should be jumping. Fleas and ticks may be small, but they can quickly become hard to ignore.
Fleas can develop in carpets, pet bedding, furniture, and sheltered outdoor spaces. Ticks often wait in grass and brush for a passing person or animal. Pets and wildlife can bring either pest onto your property without much warning.
We start by inspecting the places where activity is happening—and the conditions helping it along. Then we build a treatment plan around your property. If pets are involved, we’ll recommend coordinating with your veterinarian so their care and your property treatment work together.
Common Fleas & Ticks in Central Texas
Cat Fleas
The name is a little misleading. Cat fleas are common on both cats and dogs. While adults feed on animals, their eggs can fall into bedding, carpets, furniture, and the outdoor spots where pets like to lounge.
Lone Star Ticks
These ticks favor grassy, brushy, and wooded areas. Adult females often have a distinctive light-colored spot on their backs. You may encounter them around overgrown yard edges and nearby natural areas.
American Dog Ticks
Often found in grassy areas and along trails, American dog ticks can attach to dogs, people, and other passing animals. Keeping an eye on yard edges and outdoor gathering spaces helps identify where activity may be coming from.
Brown Dog Ticks
Brown dog ticks primarily feed on dogs and can sometimes establish themselves indoors. They may hide near pet bedding, kennels, baseboards, and small cracks around your dog’s favorite resting spots.
HOW IT WORKS
A Smarter Approach
To Flea & Tick Control
Inspect
We check for active pests and look closely at pet resting spots, shaded areas, and other places where fleas and ticks may be hiding or developing.
Treat
We treat outdoor areas with a targeted plan based on the pest, the activity we find, and the needs of your yard.
Protect
We walk you through practical next steps—from cleaning pet bedding to reducing outdoor hiding places—and explain any follow-up needed to help keep progress moving.
Signs Fleas or Ticks Have Moved In
Why Do Fleas & Ticks Keep Coming Back?
Because the pests you see may be only part of the story.
Flea eggs and developing young can remain tucked away after adult activity drops. As they mature, another round of fleas may appear. Ticks can arrive again with pets, wildlife, and other animals passing through your yard.
Making progress takes a coordinated approach: treating the right areas, following cleaning and preparation instructions, and working with your veterinarian on pet protection. Mango Mango helps you understand what to expect, what to do between visits, and when follow-up treatment may be needed.
