Flea & Tick Treatment in Plainedge \u2014 FAQ
How do I know if I have a flea infestation in my Plainedge home?
Common signs of a flea infestation in Plainedge homes include: bites on ankles and lower legs (often in clusters), noticing tiny jumping insects on pet fur or light-colored surfaces, finding small dark specks (flea “dirt” — digested blood) in pet bedding or on floors, and pets scratching excessively. If you have pets and notice any of these signs, a flea infestation is likely. Call us for a free assessment.
What tick species are found in Plainedge?
Plainedge and Nassau County are home to three primary tick species: the deer tick (black-legged tick), which transmits Lyme disease and is the primary concern in our area; the American dog tick, common in grassy and wooded areas; and the lone star tick, increasingly found across Long Island. The deer tick is the smallest — nymphs are the size of a poppy seed — making them difficult to detect. Professional yard treatment in spring significantly reduces tick populations around your Plainedge home.
How long does flea treatment take to work in Plainedge?
After treatment, you may still see some adult fleas for 1–2 weeks as pupae hatch from protective cocoons (which are resistant to insecticides). This is normal. Activity should decrease significantly within 2 weeks. If you’re still seeing heavy flea activity after 3 weeks, contact us for a follow-up — we stand behind our treatment results for Plainedge homeowners.
