Flea & Tick Control cost: FAQs
How much does flea treatment cost?
Professional flea and tick treatment typically costs $150 to $450, usually covering the interior and often the yard, with a follow-up visit to catch newly hatched fleas.
How much does tick control cost?
Professional tick yard treatment typically costs $150 to $450 depending on property size, vegetation, and whether you choose one-time or recurring visits. PestPin's national planning range is $150 to $450; plan around $275.
Is tick spraying safe for pets and kids?
Reputable companies use EPA-registered products and instruct you to keep people and pets off treated areas until they dry. Ask your provider for their re-entry guidance before the visit.
Do I need to treat my pet and my home for fleas?
Yes, both. Most of a flea population is eggs, larvae, and pupae living in carpets, bedding, and the yard, not adults on your pet, so treating the home handles that side while your vet handles the adults on your animal. Doing both together is what keeps them from coming back.
