Flea & Tick Control You Can Count On
Fleas and ticks are more than an itch. Fleas multiply explosively and infest carpets, bedding, and furniture, while ticks in northeast Georgia can carry Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and other illnesses that affect both people and pets. Our wooded foothills, tall grass, and warm, humid summers make this prime flea and tick country, and a single untreated pet or shady yard can keep a problem going all season.
Kilz Pest Control treats the home and the yard together, because treating only one lets the population bounce right back. We are licensed and locally owned, and we build the treatment around your pets and your property.

Signs of a Flea or Tick Problem
Catching a problem early makes treatment faster, cheaper, and less disruptive.
Pets scratching constantly
Excessive scratching, biting, or licking, plus small dark "flea dirt" in your pet’s coat, is usually the first sign of fleas.
Bites around ankles
Itchy bites on your lower legs and ankles often mean fleas have established in carpets and floors.
Ticks after time outdoors
Finding ticks on people or pets after being in the yard or woods means ticks are active in shady, high-grass areas of your property.
Fleas jumping in carpet or bedding
Tiny dark insects that jump when you disturb carpet, pet bedding, or furniture confirm an active indoor flea infestation.
Our Approach
How Our Flea & Tick Control Works
Indoors, we apply an adulticide to kill active fleas plus an insect growth regulator (IGR) that stops eggs and larvae from developing, which is the step that actually breaks the life cycle. We focus on carpets, pet resting areas, baseboards, and furniture where fleas concentrate.
Outdoors, we treat the perimeter and the shaded, high-traffic zones where ticks and fleas rest, since most of the yard population lives in these cooler, protected areas rather than in open sun. A follow-up visit a couple of weeks later catches newly hatched fleas before they can re-establish.

Questions about flea & tick control?
(706) 754-6248Flea & Tick Control Across Northeast Georgia
Northeast Georgia's long warm season means fleas and ticks stay active well into fall, and properties bordering woods or tall grass, common around Helen, Cleveland, Dahlonega, and the lake communities, face the highest tick pressure. Wildlife passing through the yard also drops fresh ticks and fleas all season.
Pairing professional yard and home treatment with your pet's vet-prescribed prevention is the most reliable defense. Call (706) 754-6248 to get started.
We provide flea & tick control to homes and businesses across northeast Georgia, including Gainesville, Clarkesville, Cornelia, Toccoa, Dahlonega, Helen, Cleveland, Jefferson, Lavonia, Hartwell, and Demorest. See our full list of service areas for local details near you.
Flea & Tick Control: Common Questions
How do I get rid of fleas in my house and yard?
You have to treat both at once. We apply an adulticide plus an insect growth regulator indoors to break the flea life cycle, and treat the shaded areas of the yard where fleas and ticks live. Treating only one area lets the population rebound.
How long does it take to get rid of fleas?
Active fleas drop quickly, but because new fleas keep hatching from eggs, full control usually takes two to three weeks and a follow-up visit. The insect growth regulator is what stops the next generation.
Do I still need flea prevention from my vet?
Yes. Treating the home and yard removes the environmental population, while your pet’s vet-prescribed prevention protects the pet directly. The two together are far more effective than either alone.
Are flea and tick treatments safe for pets?
Yes, when applied correctly. We provide a prep checklist and let you know how long to keep pets off treated areas until everything is dry. Your pets can return once the treatment has dried.
When is tick season in Georgia?
Ticks are most active from spring through fall, but in northeast Georgia’s mild climate they can be a problem nearly year-round. Yards bordering woods or tall grass stay at risk the longest.
