Flea & Tick Treatment
Professional flea & tick treatment for Suffolk County, Nassau County & Queens.
Fleas and ticks aren't just a problem for your pets — they bite humans and can transmit serious diseases. Ticks in the Northeast carry Lyme disease, anaplasmosis, and babesiosis, all of which are increasingly common. Fleas can infest your entire home, laying eggs deep in carpets, upholstered furniture, and pet bedding. A single flea lays up to 50 eggs per day, and pupae can lie dormant for months waiting for a host. Effective control means treating your home, your yard, and breaking the reproductive cycle at every stage.
⚠️ Signs You Need Flea & Tick Treatment
- •Pets scratching, biting, or licking themselves excessively
- •Small, dark insects jumping on furniture, carpets, or your skin
- •Flea dirt (tiny black specks that turn red when wet) in pet bedding or on your pet's coat
- •Red, itchy bite marks on ankles, legs, or around the waistline
- •Ticks found attached to family members or pets after time outdoors
- •Hair loss or hot spots on pets from excessive scratching and irritation
Our Flea & Tick Treatment Process
Home & Yard Assessment
We inspect both indoor and outdoor areas to identify flea and tick hotspots, severity, and the conditions supporting them.
Indoor Treatment
Professional treatments target adult fleas, larvae, and eggs in carpets, upholstery, pet areas, crevices, and throughout your home.
Yard Treatment
We treat shaded areas, tall grass, leaf litter, and landscape features where ticks and fleas thrive in your yard.
Lifecycle Disruption
Insect growth regulators prevent eggs and larvae from maturing into biting adults, breaking the reproduction cycle for lasting control.
🛡️ Prevention Tips
- ✓Keep pets on year-round flea and tick prevention as recommended by your veterinarian
- ✓Vacuum carpets, rugs, and upholstered furniture frequently — and empty the vacuum outside
- ✓Wash all pet bedding in hot water at least once a week
- ✓Keep your lawn mowed short and remove leaf litter regularly
- ✓Create a gravel or wood chip barrier between your lawn and adjacent wooded areas
- ✓Check all family members and pets for ticks after spending time outdoors
Why Professional Flea & Tick Treatment Matters
Only about 5% of a flea infestation consists of visible adult fleas — the other 95% are eggs, larvae, and pupae hiding deep in your carpets and furniture. Store-bought foggers and sprays miss these hidden life stages completely, which is why the problem always comes back. Professional treatment uses a combination of fast-acting adulticides and insect growth regulators that target every stage of the flea lifecycle, plus yard treatments to eliminate the outdoor breeding source.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
How much does flea and tick treatment cost on Long Island?
Flea and tick treatment on Long Island typically costs between $200 and $500, depending on the size of your home, whether both indoor and outdoor treatment is needed, and the severity of the infestation. Call Quest Pest Control at (631) 228-4498 for a free estimate.
How long does flea and tick treatment take to work?
You should see a major reduction in flea activity within 24 to 48 hours of treatment. However, complete elimination takes 2 to 4 weeks because dormant pupae continue to hatch after the initial treatment. Follow-up treatments and insect growth regulators address these hatching cycles.
Is flea and tick treatment safe for kids and pets?
Yes. Quest Pest Control uses EPA-approved products that are safe for kids and pets once dry. We recommend keeping family members and pets off treated surfaces for 2 to 4 hours after indoor application. Our technicians provide specific safety instructions tailored to your home and pets.
Do you treat for fleas and ticks in Nassau County and Queens?

How do I know if I need professional flea and tick treatment?
If your pets are scratching excessively, you're finding bites on your ankles or legs, or you see small jumping insects on furniture or carpets, you likely have a flea infestation. For ticks, if family members or pets are regularly finding ticks after being outdoors, your yard would benefit from professional treatment.
Do you guarantee your flea and tick treatment?
Yes. Quest Pest Control guarantees our flea and tick treatments. Our service includes follow-up treatments to address the complete lifecycle. If fleas or ticks persist after the treatment program, we re-treat at no additional cost.
