Tell us where your pets spend time.
The flea and tick sheets ask you to identify where animals sleep, rest and spend time in the yard. They also cover clearing floors, vacuuming rugs and furniture, washing pet bedding and preparing outdoor areas.
Discuss any animal activity under the house or deck with Evict. The sheets recommend speaking with your veterinarian about flea treatment for pets. Confirm when people and animals can return to each treated area.
What flea and tick service covers
- Indoor treatment of floors, carpets, furniture and the places pets rest.
- Yard treatment, including the shaded and grassy areas where fleas and ticks wait.
- Guidance on preparation and on when people and pets can return.
Treating the property and treating the pet are two different jobs. The preparation sheet recommends talking to your veterinarian about flea care for pets at the same time.
Signs of fleas or ticks
- Pets scratching, biting at their skin or losing fur in patches.
- Small dark specks, called flea dirt, in pet bedding or on the pet's skin.
- Bites around your ankles and lower legs.
- Ticks found on a pet, a person or in tall grass along the yard edges.
Why thorough treatment matters
Fleas reproduce fast and can breed indoors or out. Ticks hide in tall grass and take cover when they sense a treatment. Evict's pest guide describes tick control as methodical work that needs a full pattern of application, which is why the yard and the house are treated as one job.
What affects the price
Evict looks at the property first and goes over pricing before any work starts. Evict's own pest guide lists what moves the price: the pest, how far the activity has spread, the treatment it calls for, how many visits it will take and the size of the property. For fleas and ticks that means whether the job is indoors, outdoors or both, and the size of the yard.

Questions about this service
Do the sheets cover yard preparation?
Yes. They include yard work, removing pet dishes and droppings, and giving the technician access to the areas being treated.
Is treating the property the same as treating my pet?
No. The preparation sheets recommend consulting your veterinarian about flea care for pets alongside property treatment.
Do I need to treat my pet too?
Yes, through your veterinarian. Property treatment handles the house and yard. Pet treatment handles the fleas on the animal. Both are needed or the problem returns.
How long do people and pets stay out?
Confirm the indoor and outdoor reentry times with Evict for your visit. The sheet also covers aquariums.
What yard work should I do first?
Mow, remove pet droppings and dishes, pick up toys and open access to the areas being treated. The full list is on the preparation sheet.
