Ticks and fleas in Little Ferry

Little Ferry isn't a heavily wooded town, so ticks aren't usually the first complaint. They still turn up — in tall grass and brush along the river, in overgrown lots, and on dogs walked through those areas. The blacklegged (deer) tick can carry Lyme disease and other illnesses, and the American dog tick is common on pets in spring and early summer. We're not doctors: if you're bitten and feel sick or see a rash, call your doctor.

Fleas are often a bigger issue here, and they usually come with an animal. Raccoons, groundhogs, feral cats and opossums sleeping under a porch, deck or shed leave fleas behind, and those fleas move to your pets and into the house. We treat fleas inside and in the yard — and if an animal is living under the porch, we remove it with one-way doors and seal the area with buried mesh so it can't move back in. We don't trap and relocate animals. See our squirrel and raccoon removal in Little Ferry page and our flea and tick control page.

What affects the price for a Little Ferry yard

Mosquito treatment starts from $95 plus tax. Most Little Ferry lots are on the small side, which helps. What changes the price:

• Size and layout — a single small backyard versus a corner lot with side yards.
• How much water and planting — heavy shrubs and drainage problems take more time.
• Ticks or fleas too — especially if there's an animal under the porch to deal with first.
• One-time or the season — one treatment before a party or a full summer of visits.

Landlords with two-families and garden apartments can schedule the whole property at once, which is usually simpler than tenants each trying on their own. We give a free estimate before any work. For buildings and businesses along Route 46, see commercial pest control.
