Flea & Tick Control in Reno
Keeping Your Home and Yard Parasite-Free
In Reno, we love our outdoor lifestyle, exploring the trails, and enjoying our backyards with our four-legged friends. Unfortunately, this active lifestyle often invites unwanted hitchhikers like fleas and ticks back to our properties. These parasitic pests are more than just a nuisance; they cause misery for your pets through constant itching and pose serious health risks to your family by transmitting diseases. Ignoring the first scratch can quickly lead to a full-blown infestation that takes over your carpets and furniture.
At Natura Pest Control, we understand that your pets are part of the family, and their safety is your top priority. We specialize in providing "The Safest" pest control solutions that are tough on biting insects but gentle on your loved ones. Our licensed team brings years of experience to your doorstep, using proactive, natural methods to ensure your home remains a comfortable, itch-free sanctuary for everyone.

The Risks of Fleas and Ticks
Fleas and ticks are resilient pests that thrive in the specific climate conditions of our area. While fleas are often associated with dirty environments, the truth is they can hitch a ride into the cleanest homes on pets or even on your clothing. Once inside, they reproduce rapidly; a single female flea can lay up to 50 eggs a day. These eggs fall off onto your carpets and bedding, creating a cycle that is incredibly difficult to break without professional help. The result is not just itchy skin, but potential allergic reactions and tapeworm transmission for your pets.
Ticks present a different, yet equally alarming danger. Often found in tall grasses and brush at the edge of properties, they wait for a host to brush past. Ticks are vectors for serious illnesses, including Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever and Lyme disease. Because their bites are often painless, they can feed for days unnoticed. Recognizing the presence of these pests early is critical to preventing long-term health issues.
- Excessive Scratching: If your pet is constantly biting or scratching their fur, check for fleas immediately.
- Visible Movement: You may see tiny dark specks jumping on your pet's skin or your ankles.
- Flea Dirt: Small black specks (flea feces) found in pet bedding or on their skin are a sure sign of activity.
- Tick Checks: Regularly inspect your pet's ears, neck, and paws after spending time outdoors.
Targeted Treatments for Peace of Mind
At Natura Pest Control, we believe you shouldn't have to choose between a pest-free home and the safety of your pets. We utilize a hybrid application strategy that is "The Safest" in the industry. Our process begins with a comprehensive inspection of your yard and home to identify breeding grounds. We then use organic-blended products to treat the exterior of your home, creating a barrier that stops pests from migrating indoors.
For interior issues, we use specialized treatments that target the pests at every stage of their life cycle—egg, larva, and adult. We incorporate Insect Growth Regulators (IGRs), which prevent flea eggs from hatching and larvae from maturing, effectively breaking the reproductive cycle. Our technicians are trained to apply these products meticulously, ensuring thorough coverage while keeping your environment safe for re-entry once dried.
- Pet-Safe Products: We use organic-based solutions designed with the safety of cats and dogs in mind.
- Lifecycle Management: We don't just kill adults; we stop the eggs from hatching to prevent re-infestation.
- Exterior Barriers: We treat the yard to reduce the population of ticks and fleas before they reach your door.
- Guaranteed Relief: If pests persist between our seasonal visits, we return to treat your home again at no charge.

FAQs About Flea & Tick Control
Are your treatments safe for my pets and children?
Absolutely. At Natura Pest Control, being "The Safest" is our core philosophy. We use organic-based and organic-blended products that are specifically selected for their low toxicity to mammals while remaining highly effective against pests. Once the treatment has dried, it is completely safe for your children and pets to return to the treated areas. We prioritize your peace of mind and will provide you with clear instructions on how to prepare and what to expect.
How long does it take to get rid of a flea infestation?
Eliminating fleas is a process, not an overnight event, due to their complex life cycle. While our treatment immediately targets adults, it can take a few weeks to fully break the cycle as eggs and pupae in the environment emerge and contact our control materials. However, because we use Insect Growth Regulators (IGRs) to stop reproduction, you should see a dramatic reduction quickly. If activity persists beyond the expected window, we will return to re-treat at no cost.
Do I still need to treat my pet if you treat my home?
Yes. Successful flea and tick control requires a two-pronged approach. We treat the environment (your home and yard) to kill the pests living in carpets, furniture, and grass. However, we cannot treat the animal directly. We highly recommend working with your veterinarian to keep your pets on regular preventative medication. This combination ensures that pests have nowhere to hide and nowhere to feed.
What preparation do I need to do before you arrive?
To ensure "The Most Thorough" service, we ask that you pick up toys and pet bowls from the floor. For interior flea treatments, thorough vacuuming before our arrival is crucial as it stimulates fleas to emerge from their cocoons, making them more susceptible to our products. Afterward, washing pet bedding in hot water helps remove eggs. We make this process as easy as possible by providing a simple checklist when you schedule your appointment.
What if the fleas come back after you leave?
Rest easy—we have you covered. Our service comes with a Pest Control Guarantee. If pests reappear between your scheduled seasonal services, simply give us a call. We will come back to your home and perform additional treatments at no extra charge. We are committed to your satisfaction and comfort.
